Let's Make Labneh!

Labneh is not only delicious and nutritious as a dip with vegetables and pita. Labneh is an ingredient. Let's explore that.

All Over the Place Cornbread

Our family history has us in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas. I think it's fair to say, "All your cornbread are belong to us."

Bavarian Gooseberry Pie

To be fair, the Bavarians don't actually make what Americans think of as gooseberry pie. They don't. They do make something else we can use for pie. It's called Grütze.

Beef Rouladen (Rindsrouladen)

The first time I had dinner in a private home in Germany, my soon-to-be Mother-in-Law welcomed us with Beef Rouladen and Spätzle. I was ready to sign on the dotted line by desert.

Icebreaker Brownies

Family-sized recipe that halves well. Good brownies are always appreciated by the friends you have and friends yet to be.

Semmelknödel - The Unstuffing

Looking for a gravy-slurping side dish that's like, not stuffing? Try Semmelknoedel. Mysterious balls made of bread and herbs; simmered not soggy.

Harvest Breakfast/Coffee Cake

I was craving a big, moist, pumpkin, apple, walnut and raisin cake. Here it is. Have it for breakfast all week.
