I make German food and German inspired food quite often. The joke in our house is that my daughter began eating sauerkraut from a jar with a fork by the time she was four. She cannot believe there was ever a time she did not love sauerkraut. But, we don’t talk about cooking much Irish…

A House Divided – Tale of Two Dips
I made these dips the other night as part of a “snacky” dinner in our house. Every once in a while we have veggies, crackers, cheese and a couple dips while we are having a movie night or playing a game together. We were playing “Apples to Apples” the Disney set while having our snacky…

A few weeks ago they had beef bottom roasts on sale at the grocery store. I bought three and was going to cut one up for stir fry or stews. When I started cutting though it I saw that this was going to be futile. I had a couple handfuls of bits and pieces when…
Easy Beef and Broccoli
My son had a friend over for dinner who, to say the least, is a VERY picky eater. I decided to treat him like one of my own children and just make dinner as usual. He told me he didn’t like steak or broccoli when I served this but, he asked for seconds. This was…
