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.
Sour Cream Raisin Pie
I absolutely adore Sour Cream Raisin Pie and if you’re here, I hope you do, too. If you’ve just gotten an email or landed here by accident, don’t turn up your nose like I think you might be doing right now! Why? Because almost everyone I have mentioned this pie to does that!

Easy Curried Egg Salad
I don’t know if there’s anything much better on a hot summer day/evening than no heat up the kitchen option. And when that option is an egg salad sandwich, why not take it next level with this Easy Curried Egg Salad?
Classic Crazy Broccoli Salad
I must be getting old coz I find my memory slipping a bit here and there. (What did I come into this room for is just the beginning!) After I made this Classic Crazy Broccoli Salad, I remembered I already have a lighter no no-Mayo version.

German Baked Apples Bratapfel
German Baked Apples Bratapfel takes me right back to childhood!

Baked apples appeared a lot-at our table for dessert.
