There’s a specialty here in Germany which is extremely simple to make but that I somehow never tried to create myself. The German restaurant down the street from us makes wurst käse salat, which basically is a sausage and cheese salad with onions, vinegar, pickles and...
Last Thursday was a day of cleaning and cooking…we had a lasagna recipe that I’ve been using for a little while now but it just lacked flavor in the end. The ingredients had great potential but perhaps it all just needed to sit a lot longer. Even after it was frozen,...
These are officially my new favorite way to make grilled shrimp. They are so delicious that you can’t even believe it. We have only tried them as an accompaniment to steaks and other grill-night favorites — but I’m pretty sure they would taste excellent on a bed of...

One of the not really essential items I ordered from Tupperware a few weeks ago is this little gadget called a Teigfalle. It’s basically a little dough folder that assists in making things like turnovers. When they showed it to us at the Tupperware party, turnovers...
