WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: My mother introduced me to this recipe when I was a young child. She made the meal quite often and found it very easy to make. In the ingredients, I recommended a full loaf of challah. However, when my mother baked this recipe she always used the left-over challah from Shabbat the previous Friday. My mother made this most often for Sunday morning breakfast and my whole family loved it very much. The most important ingredient in this recipe is love. I not only enjoy it for its taste but because it was made with my mother’s love.

Notes
The Tracing Roots & Building Trees project paired teens from Tucson Hebrew High with residents of Handmaker Jewish Services for the Aging to remember stories and favorite foods together. From this experience a cookbook, “L’dor v’dor: From Generation to Generation: Stories and Memories around Family and Food, was published.
