I don’t have a literal culinary bucket list but I do have a mental one. While I do seem to be adding things to the list quicker than I can find the time to make them, I can finally put a check mark next to pasta. I was provided with a package of Tuscan Fields […]
Growing up, every once in a while my dad would make his “famous” clams casino. And the last few years it has become our Christmas tradition when we go to my parents’ to celebrate the holiday. In addition to the my mom making turkey and all the fixings and me making baguettes and cookies, he

I found out about The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap not long after it occurred last year for the first time. When it was announced for this year, I figured it could be fun and it’d be worth a shot. It’s always stressful when you’re baking for other people. You can’t help but think about

I’m not sure how it took me so long to make biscuits. I love them (…much like I like pretty much any bread-based product…). And somehow on our recent trip down south I didn’t get a chance to have any. So when I saw them make buttermilk biscuits on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives a few

What do you do when you can’t find something you need for a recipe in the grocery store? Search the internet! And that’s exactly what I did when I found I needed crème fraîche for my Jägerschnitzel recipe but couldn’t find it in my local grocery store. Luckily, I found a recipe for a substitution.

Jägerschnitzel, aka Hunter’s cutlet, is another one of those classic German dishes I love. While I could (and have) eaten Wiener Schnitzel everyday, I also love Jägerschnitzel. It’s essentially a pork chop in a cream sauce of mushrooms and onions. Of course, I wanted to try making it at home but the one part that
I’m all about trying things. Since I had some whole wheat flour I’ve been wanting to try making whole wheat soft pretzels. Actually I think my husband gets some credit for the idea, too. I used the basic soft pretzel recipe I had great success with but made a few changes. The resulting whole wheat

It wasn’t until I was doing the write up on my homemade Spezi that I realized that I should try making Apfelschorle at home. Apfelschorle is a mix of carbonated mineral water and apple juice that’s widely available and popular in Germany. Oh, and it’s pretty tasty, too. So, I had to do it. I

Recently, I was mixing sodas in my kitchen and I got a funny look from my guest. That’s when I had to go into the explanation. One of my favorite things about visiting Germany is the food. And that includes the beverages. And I’m not talking beer. I mean drinks like Apfelschorle and, my favorite,
I’ve never had gelato before. And since I don’t think I’ll be making a trip to Italy or Europe anytime before the summer ends, in my mind, the logical thing was to try making it myself. I’m not sure how good of an idea it really is but I figured I’m game since we have

At some point after I started this blog and started baking on a semi-regular basis, my parents mentioned something I never knew. They had my grandfather’s handwritten recipe notebook. I knew he had been a baker when my dad was growing up but I had no idea that a notebook existed. In all honesty it’s

I have something I need to share: I’ve never had coffee. Not a sip, not a slurp. Never. Ever. Nor do I want to. Honestly, the smell alone drives me crazy (in a bad way). I’m what you’d call “a tea person.” It started with just a cup of tea, a couple cookies and a
