Who doesn't look forward to a devouring a cherished family recipe during the holidays? I do! I do! In fact, I'm kind of obsessed with it. My favorite? My mom's apricot noodle kugel. No contest. I look forward to it every year. But I also fancy myself a modern lady and like to mix things up from time to time with new recipes and new traditions. {Lead photo via She Knows}
While I'm fantasizing about my dream Rosh Hashanah menu, I thought I'd share some ideas for anyone else who is looking for last minute inspiration. Note: I make no attempts to keep a kosher kitchen, so take these suggestions for what they are...things that look and sound good with symbolic ingredients for the holiday.
Cheers! These pomegranate, apple and honey infused cocktails will set just the right mood...
