Bacon! I love bacon. Salty, crispy, and yummy. I had read awhile back about weaving your bacon to make a better BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwich and have kept it in the back of my head to try when I got a chance. We were picking the last of our tomatoes we grew and…

Loaded Baked Pierogi Casserole
Day 48 – Happy May! I think we have finally hit our stride in all this after almost 7 weeks. My daughter is finally beginning her dance classes, via Zoom, next week. This will bring some order to her life again. My son’s high school classes have settled into a routine after two weeks…
Cheesy Grits and Shrimp with Bacon
I honestly don’t think I have ever had grits in my entire life. If I did it was many, many years ago and they obviously didn’t make much of an impression on me. In a time of we need to stretch ourselves and our eating again we decided to try dishes we have never had…
Hot Brown Casserole
So, my son just asked me is there anything you cannot turn into a casserole? That made me laugh. It is true. I love taking sandwiches or pizzas and making those flavors into casseroles or soups. My son was so excited that we had some leftover turkey in the freezer to try this dish. Verdict:…
Loaded Potato Salad
My family does not care for potato salad with mayonnaise. I love it but it is difficult for me to eat enough to want to make it for myself. We had bacon in the refrigerator the other day and my kids wanted loaded potatoes. Well, why not make it loaded potato salad? Both kids were…
Creamy Chicken Macaroni and Cheese
I made this the other night when my kids had friends over. I wanted something hearty and filling also but that I thought they would eat. You never know when you are feeding other peoples kids if they are going to be picky or not. I went with macaroni and cheese but really doctored it…
Braised Red Cabbage (updated)
If you asked my children the star of this plate was the Braised Red Cabbage (click here for link to original recipe), although the German Meatballs and Spaetzle were good too (click here for link to recipe). There was not a bite left at the end of dinner. They love red cabbage. My house smelled…
Saucy Baked Beans
We call these “German Potato Beans” in our house but I figured it was easier to call them Saucy Baked Beans because someone would argue that there is no such thing as German beans. These have a crisp sweet/tart bite of vinegar that make them delicious! The hint of bacon? Yummy. I love these because…
Top 5 Recipes for May 2018
May was certainly a crazy month for us! I don’t know about you but the weather at the beginning was downright cold and then it shot to summer overnight. We have been busy with end of the school year programs, concerts, and competitions but things should be slowing down soon. All of the top recipes…
Revisiting German Potato Salad
My kids love German food. The one thing both of them ask me to make for their birthday dinners are a German Feast. My son loves Schnitzel while my daughter wants Braised Red Cabbage or German Potato Salad. Anything with apple cider vinegar both of them will love. For our Memorial Day picnic I decided…
Quiche Lorraine
Yesterday afternoon while I was in a meeting gas prices rose $.24 to $3.09 a gallon. I was shocked. I knew it was coming but the reality felt like a gut punch. I drive a couple hundred miles a week. It cuts into our budget. So, even less dinners out now. Quiche Lorraine is one…
Cheddar, Bacon, Ranch Roll-Ups
A friend of mine used to have a New Year’s Eve party every year. He would serve something similar to this (frozen and from a box) and would call them “Ritzy Roll-Ups.” We used to laugh every year when he would set them on the table because they were delicious but the name was hysterical….
