Haven't tried making this but I love Kugel Yerushalmi! Someone make it and let me know how it turns out!

A delicious Pesach staple. Idea is to make lasagna using sheets of matza instead of lasagna pasta. Sorry for imprecise measurements. I usually make two pans at a time, using large rectangular disposable baking tins.

Truly the best cheese cake. Makes enough for a large round springform pan or two 9" pie plates. My cousin uses a 9x13 foil pan.

Easy to make, light, fluffy, flavorful cake. Can use other fruit instead of blueberries. (Pictured here with raspberries.)
