Description
My famous Flower Shaped Squash Kugel, so named because I make it in this cute silicone flower shaped pan. Every time I bring it out everyone always says “Oooh, look at the pretty flower shaped Kugel!” This kugel is sweet and filled with squash flavor. You can use frozen squash if making this during spring, but if fresh squash is in seasonal…that’s always best!
