Super Easy Noodle Pudding

Okay...So I normally make this on Rosh Hashannah but my father-in-law asked that I make this for Thanksgiving and I can't say no to him.  So I made Noodle Pudding for my favorite father-in-law, wait he's my only father-in-law, anyway, here is how you make my Super Easy Noodle Pudding:

 
(Yes that is my daughter who snuck into the picture...silly kid!)

1 package of noodles (i use no yolk egg noodles), 3/4 cup of sugar, 5 eggs (no that is not a typo), 15 oz can of crushed pineapple (drain out the juice), 2 large apples peeled and chopped, 1 stick of butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 c raisins (I like golden raisins for this dish), 1 tsp cinnamon.

Preheat the oven to 350.  Boil the noodles according to the package. Drain the noodles and place them in a large bowl, add the stick of butter and allow the heat of the noodles to melt the butter.  Once the butter is melted and mixed throughout the noodles add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs.  Mix all of that together and then add the crushed pineapple and the raisins and keep mixing.  Spray a 9 x 13 pan with Pam and add the noodle mixture to the pan.  Bake for 1 hour uncovered.  Let cool for about 15 minute.  Cut into squares and Enjoy!

Here It Goes

I am a thirty something stay at home Mom to two beautiful little girls. I have always felt very comfortable in the kitchen.  I  feel the kitchen is the heart of a home.
I remember as a pre-schooler creating my own chicken soup or baking cookies with my Mom.  As I got older I started to take over certain kitchen responsibilities.  The most memorable one was the Chanukah potato Latkes.  At first I started off being the "fryer".  But as time went on I took over the Latke responsibility, So much so that no matter where we went for Chanukah I was the Latke maker and soon became known as Rachel Latke, I hate to admit it but I am still called that by a few of my family members.

 I am a lover of all things food related and really enjoy creating in the kitchen.  I have no formal training but feel at home in the kitchen.  A few years ago I decided to teach myself to decorate cakes (Thanks, You Tube), the first cake I did was a cat cake for my oldest daughter and the praise I received for that cake was overwhelming.


Needless to say I was hooked on creating beautiful tasty treats.  From that point on I have created many cakes that I am proud of ...


My plan is to share my daily creations and my special cakes with anyone who is willing to read about them.
