We had one of our new favorite meals last night - garlic Parmesan chicken breasts served as a sandwich with croquettes. SO good and super simple. I finally made fresh hamburger buns last week and they turned out awesome. Sometimes they haven't risen correctly and I...
A good meatball sub can be hard to find…and one key part of making them yourself is being certain that your meatballs are not too big and not too small. And of course you want to use a tasty tomato sauce as well or the sandwich just won’t taste good in general....
My husband and I lived in Miami for about 4 years and there were many fantastic foods there, influenced by the large Cuban population in the area. One of our favorites was always Cuban Sandwiches – or “Media Noche” (Spanish for midnight). Since we’ve lived here we’ve...
I wanted to try something different for breakfast on Saturday morning but also didn’t want to spend forever making it because I knew we had a lot of errands to run. So I elected to make these cinnamon rolls the day before so they would have ample time to rise (and...

Being a Texas girl, I do not take the subject of chili lightly. I have very specific opinions about what should be in chili and its minimum heat requirements. We have been making chili pretty much since we moved here to Germany but hadn’t really found the “perfect”...
Nearly ten years ago, Stefan and I were rummaging around in a book shop, looking for gifts to take home to friends and otherwise finding a huge pile of books we wanted to take home. Thankfully, that was back in the day when you could carry tons of luggage back with...
Well, I guess I spoke too soon. Shortly after I posted about sitting here waiting on the repair guy, he showed up. Speak of the devil, I guess...It was the same guy as last time and he came in and got right to work. I was rather impressed when 15 minutes later he had...
