This is my Signature Recipe! It is asked for at Potluck-Dinners by people who once tasted it, even those who don't care for Sauerkraut are now asking me to bring it.

I was out of shortening so I looked for a recipe that uses oil and I'm so glad I found this! For a treat, add a little sugar and chocolate chips. Yum!

A delicious holiday drink made with apple cider, orange juice and a bit of brandy.

From the Castle Restaurant (Olean, NY) (now out of business). A copycat simplified home cook version that's easy to make.

Super easy peasy and pucker baked carrots. This recipe is close to the one that Jamie Oliver prepared in Season 2 of his Naked Chef show, I think the episode was "A bun in the oven".

Bought a small bag of mini cucumbers, made this pickle recipe, and it was sweet, a bit sour and crunchy. Delicious with most of the meals.

A crispy not soggy coating highlights this quick and easy rendition of pan-fried pork chops.

I used durum wheat flour instead of semolina. Barney unplugged my machine, so I had to finish the second rise, and bake it in the real oven. It turned out great. This bread is not sweet, it has almost a "sour" taste. Holds up nice for sandwiches. I'll make it again.

This is probably the best scalloped potatoes I've had. We made our own cream of mushroom soup with dried wild mushrooms (see recipe link below). Tons of rich mushroom flavor that was embedded in the potatoes along with a nice cheesy flavor throughout. We used a nice old cheddar. The paprika was a nice touch and it ended up giving the potatoes a very rich color (see photos).

Quick, easy and delicious salad, and everyone loves it.

Very warm and filling. Lots of mushroom flavor and the barley was tender and plump. I used a bit of olive oil to sauté the veggies along with a healthy dose of garlic. Easy to make with easy to find ingredients, perfect for a cool fall or winter day.

It's easy to make your own delicious granola bar! This recipe is so flexible, you can use whatever nuts or dried fruits you have.

Gets better the more days it sits. :)

Be sure and double this recipe. It only makes 2 dozen cookies, hardly worth getting the dishes dirty! But the cookies are tasty!
