We went out Sunday to Hirzbacher Höfe in a little town called Hammersbach. It is one of the few places around here that seems to cut their own trees from their own lot. You can even go into the forest and cut a tree fresh if you don't like anything in their pre-cut...
Getting festive
We went to get our Christmas tree yesterday...and Stefan has been putting up lights and building yard decorations over the last couple of weekends. We were hoping that some more of our neighbors would find their holiday spirit...but so far they seem to be trying to...
The first Christmas market
Sunday we took our first outings with our Baby Trends Expedition LX jogging stroller. In the morning, we bundled Mackenzie up in her Eskimo outfit and went out to walk the dog. It was a bit of a bumpy ride, especially on the unpaved paths, and Stefan is already...
Two Meals – One Bird
I finally tried another of the meal plan recipes I'd wanted to experiment with for a whole roast chicken with herbed mushrooms. The recipe was quite simple (once I figured out what exactly was supposed to be tied where on the chicken) although a whole chicken always...

You do not want the children at your Thanksgiving feast turning out like the devil children that graced our table last year...so it's always wise to have a few things to keep kids occupied on Turkey Day. A lot will depend on the ages of the kids attending...but with...

Rolls that melt in your mouth…like buttah
I find that there are few things in life better than a good dinner roll. When I came across a sweet dinner rolls recipe last Thanksgiving, I was a little skeptical despite all the great reviews. But after making them myself, I know what all the fuss is about. One of...
5 Simple Thanksgiving Side Dishes
You've got a lot of stuff ahead of you on Thanksgiving day...and going crazy making lots of side dishes shouldn't be one of the things you need to worry with. I selected fairly simple sides for my first Thanksgiving dinner and most of them also happen to be very...
Thanksgiving: Dressing and cranberry/currant relish
Thanksgiving shortcuts are hard to pull off here in Germany. So when I go on about making my own dressing from scratch and you just want to hurl, remember that I can’t get things like Stove Top Dressing Mix here in Germany. If I could, I might very well use it. Or I...
