This Authentic German Rouladen and Gravy Recipe is absolutely delicious! When I was living in Germany, I met a woman named Irmgard Schröder. She was about my grandmother’s age when we met and we got along very well. Eventually Irmgard became such a good friend, that I considered her my German Oma or German grandmother. …
This Pear Avocado Salad with Feta Cheese is one of my most favorite salads ever! It is so good that I actually get cravings for it! This salad has a genius mixture of flavors that range from tangy to sweet to salty, and it is full of textures: smooth, crisp, crunchy, and juicy. This pear …
A lot of people love this Delicious Beef Stew. One day an old coworker of mine saw me eating it for lunch and commented that it looked like the stew her grandma used to make. The next day I brought her some. She loved it! She was very happy to finally find a stew that …

After looking online for ideas for the cake decoration, it seemed most Twinkle cakes were blue or black with clouds and stars. My decor called for color so …
I really do love the convenience of pre-made baby food because I’m usually very busy. That said, if I can make a large batch easily, I like to make my baby’s food because it is more affordable and often more nutritious and fresh. For this dynamite combo (apple blueberry puree), I was able to make it in a …
No-bake pies are so easy and quick (especially if you buy pre-made crusts). They can be thrown together in just a few minutes of prep and a few hours of chilling. They are a great idea for contributing to a party, potluck, or dinner.
The BEST Guacamole Recipe I’ve made this best guacamole recipe countless times since discovering the recipe over one year ago. I’ve made it for a bunch of teenage girls, a big group of boys, for my family, extended family, and for parties. Everyone has always said that it is either ‘super good’ or the ‘BEST …
