Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll

Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll

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

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!

Classic Crazy Broccoli 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. So that’s why I’m calling this one “Classic.” (And if you’re interested, another fave brocolli salad: Shaved Broccoli Salad with Apple & Tarragon.)

German Baked Apples Bratapfel

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.
