I grew up in the Midwest, where so many settlers from Germany rolled in around the 1880s to the turn of the century. They brought their favorite recipes with them, and cabbage rolls were one of them. A Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll might have an Oma or two rolling over if only she knew.

Sheet Tray Hasselback Smoked Sausage is the kind of quickie, low-effort meal that’s really a “back pocket” recipe.

Yanno what I run hot and cold on? Pickles. Sometimes I just love them and can’t get enough and then sometimes I couldn’t care less about them. But I always get a little excited in the summer when those little pickling cucumbers start to show up. Coz then I can show off a bit and make my faves. Like these Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles.
