Low-Carb Noodle Kugel
This dairy-free or dairy-full noodle kugel recipe will be hard to keep from making just during the holidays. With different noodle options, gluten-free and grain-free, you’re sure to find one that suits your dietary needs.

Finding clean and healthy alternatives can be challenging. Many vegan cheese alternative products contain upwards of fifteen ingredients, including rancid seed oils, like canola, and fillers that threaten our cellular health- stay clear of those and look for more whole food based products to help reduce inflammation and cell damage. I offer many substitutions here that have all been made by me and tested by my kids. There’s a version for everyone.
