On my site already is a recipe for Scalloped Potatoes Like Your Grandma Made. I love those, and they are def a go-to at my house, especially after any holiday with ham (when I often sprinkle in both cheese and ham between the layers). However, if you examine that post and delve into the comments and discussion, you’ll see that many asked for the recipe for these Old-Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes – they strike a huge nostalgic note.
Cucumber Sour Cream Salad
I thought maybe I’d toss out a “Grandma” recipe for you. One that’s perfect for summer especially if you have cucumbers coming in from your garden or constantly on sale at the store. Cucumber Sour Cream Salad is also so refreshing on a hot day and it’s just one of those little side dishes that are nice to have in the fridge.

German Baked Apples Bratapfel
German Baked Apples Bratapfel takes me right back to childhood! I don’t think at the time anyone thought of them as being particularly “German.” They were, like so many recipes that were ubiquitous to the Midwest, just a part of small-town, down-home cooking. Baked apples appeared a lot-at our table for dessert.

Sheet Tray Sausages with Onions & Grapes
Every once in awhile I come across a recipe that defies every known law of cooking! That’s this one. Sheet Tray Sausages with Onions & Grapes. It has a handful of ingredients, one admittedly a little strange, that you might have at home. It’s no effort, drop-dead simple and ready in about 35 minutes. And it’s so absolutely delish you’re gonna be flabbergasted by how good it is. Sound like a small miracle? Yep. And we all need small miracles every now and then.
