______________________________________________________________
We haven't had kugel in WAY too long - especially since this is right up T's alley. This is a spinach casserole with eggs and cottage cheese as bulk. It bakes up fluffy and savory with nutmeg, garlic, and lemon juice for zing. Pickled beets and sliced hearts of palm is one of my favorite fall/winter side dishes. Nothing can be easier, it's colorful, and always in season. T also downs HUGE amounts of both. I think he's definitely related to me :)
