The famous stew from the Gaisburg suburb of Stuttgart, Germany, Gaisburger Marsch is a traditional stew that encapsulates everything that is delicious about Swabian cuisine. Tender beef, Spätzle, and potatoes in a luxuriously rich broth and topped with onions caramelized in butter. It just doesn’t get any better! Growing up in Stuttgart, Germany, I have a special affinity for Swabian cuisine. Born in Bavaria and later raised in Stuttgart, my mother enjoyed a cooking education from Germany’s best food regions....

Why This Recipe Works So easy — These take only 30 minutes to make and that includes putting them together and baking them.

Plus, it’s quick-cooking and not too greasy. Customizable — You can add any of your favorite herbs into these chicken meatballs....

So here’s the thing. I’m an appetizer person. An order-appetizers-for-dinner kind of person. It must be hereditary because my mother is even worse. I think I’ve seen her order something from the entree section of a menu maybe four or five times total. She always skims the menu but ends up back at the appetizers and often orders two or three for her meal. If it was up to her I think every Sunday dinner would be comprised of mini egg rolls and spinach artichoke dip....

Three. <—– the number of times I have made these sliders in the past week. The first time I made these heavenly little things was for the Holy War. Aka: the Vegas Bowl played between my husband’s and my rivalry colleges. It was ultra tense in our house that day. We won’t discuss the outcome of that game, it’s still a sensitive subject for some of us. Even though we root for opposing teams, we agree wholeheartedly on these little babies....

Do you make homemade Jams? or do you always buy jams? When I grew up in boarding schools, we got only commercial jams, which were good. And when we were home, Mom made fresh homemade jam. Now that is a real treat! If you’ve never tried making jam at home before, you must try to experience this at least once. The home smells of this sweet aroma. Everybody in the house is looking towards the kitchen, and my kids ask: mama, what are you making?...

If you love crispy chicken or ginger – you must try this recipe. The warmth of ginger in meat dishes can really add so much umami to the dish. And yet, this is not your regular stir fry recipe, it’s even better. Here I pan-fry marinated chicken until crisp, then toss it with ginger and veggies. Coat them with a sweet tangy sauce made with Asian sauces. It’s a huge hit in our home and I promise you will be making it more often than you planned....

In general, I don’t order dessert at restaurants. Not because I don’t want to, oh no that is not the issue. It’s just that I have a problem. It’s called my eyes are bigger than my stomach. And I can hear my mother’s voice in my head saying exactly those words. Me: “Oh my gosh I am SO full. . . “ Mom: “Looks like maybe your eyes were bigger than your stomach....

This is not an everyday caramel sauce to drizzle into your morning coffee. (Doesn’t everyone do that?) This is a rich dessert sauce that just begs to be poured over baked apples. I poured this sauce over Apple Pie Bars (recipe coming tomorrow!) and then topped them with Vanilla Ice Cream. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this was one of the best desserts I’ve made in my life....

Stuffed Cabbage Soup Cabbage rolls have been a long-time part of my frequently made recipe rotation. There is just something comforting about the flavors in these recipes. Over the years, our recipe has evolved to be a less labor-intense layered cabbage roll casserole. These Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls deliver a quick skillet meal too, when I don’t have time or motivation for much more than that. Given my love of soups in cooler weather turning cabbage rolls into soup just made so much sense....

Cajun Pasta with Sausage I love the ease of using seasoning mixes for simple recipes like this one. Technically, there are only five ingredients in this recipe, but with a great seasoning mix there is an abundance of different flavors in the dish. I shared this Cajun Seasoning Mix in The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook. The seasoning blend has been a staple in my pantry for quite a few years now. I figured it was long past time to share it here so that I can more easily link to it for easy access....

First item of business: It’s Wednesday and I already want it to be Friday. And Monday was a holiday! So really it’s basically only the second day of the week – how sad is that?! I love long weekends (three, four, nine-day weekends….) but it always feels way harder going back to the daily grind after a holiday weekend than it does after a regular plain-jane weekend. Does anyone here agree with me?...

I’ve told you before, I’m a picky cheesecake eater. I like classic “New York Style” cheesecake, maybe with a little berry drizzle on top, but otherwise… I don’t care for most cheesecakes. I mean, I’m crazy for the crust! I’ll eat a whole cheesecake or pie crust with a fork all by myself, no questions asked. I just don’t like the cheese-cake-y or pie-filling part. Last weekend.I attended the BYB Conference in Salt Lake City and my blogger friends and I made a stop at The Cheesecake Factory, just for cheesecake....

Chipotle Chicken Marinade My friend Tricia shared a Chipotle Chicken Salad the other day (almost ten years ago now!) and the chicken marinade sounded so good, that I couldn’t resist trying it that very same night. I had chicken in the refrigerator and everything else I needed for the recipe was in the pantry. Well, the chipotle marinade was a huge hit and I’ve been making this recipe for over ten years now!...
