As I love sauerkraut, apples and potatoes I thought these three ingredients would taste great together in latkes/potato pancakes. Guess what? I was right… See my potato pancakes for another recipe using just potatoes. People think latkes are a Jewish recipe but they actually exist in some form in many different parts of the world. … Continue reading
Are these ever flavorful potatoes and such a good side for any meat or fish. This recipe is adapted from Bon Appetit. I have already posted Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes Two Ways which are smashed… They say russet potatoes are the best to use in this type of a recipe as they have a lot of starch … Continue reading
Apples are probably one of my all-time favorite fruits because they are available year round. Then in the Fall here in Michigan we get the specialty apples that appear only once a year, such as Northern Spy (Gene’s favorite apple pie) and Cortland (my grandma’s applesauce).

This is the time of the year when there is an abundance of fresh vegetables and herbs in my garden and the markets. When I first saw this recipe I was immediately drawn in at the word “pesto”. A flavorful ingredient to perk up a side dish like this. What a perfect way to use … Continue reading

I use my slow cookers all of the time when all other appliances are being used, because I do not want to use my oven in the summer months or just to get some work done ahead of time. This is a good recipe to feed a crowd (you could double the recipe) and kick … Continue reading
I am always looking for shrimp recipes as I am so fond of this shellfish. In addition to shrimp this recipe called for snow peas and carrots. I do not have my big garden now but I do have 3 raised beds next to my shed. My snow peas did really well growing up … Continue reading
