Whatever you do, don’t tell any of my Wisconsin neighbors about these Better than Classic Beer Brats. Wisconsin, doncha know, is credited with the innovation of the Beer Brat. Wikipedia backs it up. A Minnesotan making outrageous claims might be the final straw – and none of us needs any more stress this year! With that settled, let me tell ya all the secrets of making the BEST Beer Brats!

Happy Fourth of July! I hope you had a wonderful celebration! I was going to make my fave red, white & blue dessert, these Mixed Berry Shortcakes. In typical ADD fashion, I appropriated the strawberries for something else!, these No Bake Lemon Custard Possets. I’m so glad because these are some of the best things I’ve ever tasted!
I have good news today. See, some of you know I’ve been having some trouble with my joints; typing, while still slow and has to be done just a little at a time is easier and I’m trying to use the voice options on my computer. And cooking has been challenging, but I’m really trying to focus on fun & easy (and lightweight) food. And the best news? I made Old English Potted Cheese and it’s a super easy cheese spread and just to die for.

I remember Martin Sheen was featured once on the back pages of Bon Appétit, where they used to run a celebrity spot every month. It wasn’t until I got my copy of “Best American Recipes 2003-2004” by Molly Stevens (I loved that series of books) that I paid attention. She highlighted Martin Sheen’s Pumpkin Cheesecake in the most glowing terms. She’s not wrong!

Stir-Fried Beef & Potatoes (Bo Xao Khoai Tay) is a dish often cooked in the home, and not always on the menu at most Vietnamese restaurants. If it’s on the menu, don’t sit on it! It’s so much more than it seems!
Ready to serve.
