Octoberfest German Potato Salad
A classic German style potato salad that is served warm. Perfect for Octoberfest.
Sauteed Shrimp with Grits
This rib-sticking dish was given to me by a Southern relation.
Cabbage & Shiitake Pot Sticky Buns
After a few potsticker recipes, I finally made my very first bunch of pot sticky buns (another popular food in China). They came out soft, and quite delicious. Nicely browned and crispy at the bottom. It's an excellent way to use up some of our fresh veggies.
Stuffed German Apple Pancakes
The buttery crepes were soft and warm with caramelized brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top and juicy-tender apple slices inside coated with more brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. We served these yummy pancakes with maple syrup and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice, absolutely to die for!
Mushroom Tomato Barley Soup
This delicious earthy soup is perfect for a chilly fall dinner!
Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
Marvelous recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.
Creme Fraiche Pumpkin Pie
Give a classic pumpkin pie a modern twist with creme fraiche that makes the pie differently rich and delicious. Brandy is an enhancer and makes the pie taste even better with just enough tang.
Runsas (German Beef & Cabbage Buns with Cheese)
A soft yeast dough stuffed with a quick filling of ground beef, cabbage and cheese is reasonably simply and surprisingly addictive. This mid-western Germany classic is perfect for Oktoberfest or any time of year.
Shiitake, Bell Pepper & Vermicelli Potstickers
Potstickers are basically Chinese dumplings, just cooked differently. Instead of boiling in the water, you cook them in a hot pan with a bit oil and a bit water to develop a nicely browned and crispy crust. The fillings can be made in advance; the leftover dumplings, just freeze them raw. Whenever you feel like eating a few, cook the frozen ones directly in hot pan.
Basil Pesto & Fresh Tomato Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is probably one of the easiest and tastiest foods to make. The warm-oozy cheese and nicely browned bread are just irresistible. You can add whatever you like in the filling between the bread, extra yumminess is always welcomed.
Chimichangas
Easy to make, takes no time, and tastes absolutely delicious. Juicy, cheesy and packed with flavors. It's perfect for lunch or supper.
Beef-Barley Soup
A simple and hearty soup that's perfect for a rainy day or a cold winter night.
