If you’ve ever cooked for a family you know it’s almost impossible to make everyone happy. Everyone has their specific likes and dislikes and the foods that are their favorite. So how can you make everyone happy?
Make it layered! Make something for everyone in one complete dish. For this kugel we layered a zucchini layer on top of a sweet potato layer which is on top of a potato layer and it’s oh so good. In Judaism there is an idea called Shalom Bayit, which means peace in the home. In fact, getting along with our family and keeping the peace is a core Jewish value. So why not use our food to send a message. If these three layers of kugel can all get along, so can we.

You can use a glass baking dish but you will want to serve it straight from the dish.
