Muffin-Cup Onion Kugel
"Makes individual savory kugels with the aid of a muffin tin. A great side dish for a spicier main course or roasted meats (the cook temp and time is very nearly the same as that for a pork tenderloin). The leftovers are a nice snack cold, too. Though I've never done so, I believe they would probably freeze well. This recipe makes quite a lot, but is easily halved. If you end up with more batter than muffin tin space, you can bake the remainder in individual ovenproof ramekins. Recipe from Epicurious.com, though tweaked a bit by me. Preparation time does not include time to cook the noodles."

These need something. I did half the recipe, but it needs some sort of spice. Maybe some red pepper flakes, or something. Very bland, even with all the onion. I only used about a cup of chopped onion.

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
