Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes) it’s like a staple in German cuisine. They’re hardly ever served for breakfast, but they frequently appear as lunch or dinner (side) dishes.

I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022 One of my recent go-to dinners has been sheet pan roasted vegetables with chicken sausage. It’s super-easy to make (for two, or even one person) and while it takes a bit to cook, the preparation time is minimal. I also haven’t…
Yesterday, I really didn’t know what I wanted for dinner. I knew I wanted something fairly easy, quick, and filling. A glimpse into the fridge revealed I had some potatoes and two eggs that weren’t needed for any other meals. That was perfect, so I threw together a quick and simple meal that always reminds…
Today I am going to share an updated, make-it-your-own version of the Greek Gyro salad that I posted a couple of years ago (which I had already heavily adapted from a recipe I found online), and because I feel like it’s an even better (and dare I say healthier) version, I wanted to share. Jon…

It’s no secret that I’ve lamented about our spending on food here in California. Everything feels so very expensive (even more so recently with the inflation. I feel like I am adjusting our price sheet every other week). Even if we go to the store for “just a few things”, we always end up spending…
Earlier this month, in my Halloween post, I told you about St. Martin’s Day, a catholic holiday that is celebrated in parts of Germany on November 11. I also told you that a traditional pastry that is given out to the kids on St. Martin’s Day is a “Weckmann” (a pastry in the form of a…
photo credit: Anna Tukhfatullina via Unsplash The day after Thanksgiving seems to be a good time to talk about not being wasteful, don’t you think? Especially considering the fact that lots of people probably didn’t have as nice a Thanksgiving meal as you and I just had. The Turkey Trot that I ran yesterday is…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2021 Earlier this week, I shared some of my latest Trader Joe’s finds and I promised you a fancy-but-oh-so-simple recipe for the Argentinian frozen shrimp. It’s a quick dish that can easily be prepared on a weekend night. I usually try to throw…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2021 It’s been a while since I shared any recent Trader Joe’s finds, and since I always love to hear more about what other people buy at Trader Joe’s, I am happy to share some of my favorites as well. As I…
