This soup is a German recipe that mother would often make for us. Like chicken soup is to America, this soup is comfort food in Germany. The dumplings are made with semolina flour, and served in a chicken broth. The broth, here, looks dark because I've given a long and loving roast to chicken. Childhood memories! This German (or Austrian) soup is something that

Homemade Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza Recipe
This Chicago-style pizza is a deep-dish pizza, with a thick pizza crust that is baked in a pan and layered with cheese, pizza sauce sauce--in that order. The crust bakes tall and is slightly fried due to the oil in the pan. This recipe uses "laminated" dough with layers of butter that gives the crust that results in lots of flaky layers. My first disclaimer is this: I
How to Make Easy Homemade Bagels
Yes, you can make homemade bagels in your own kitchen. These turn out chewy in the middle, and a crispy on the outside. I enjoy them, most, toasted with a little cream cheese. Yummy! Baked bagels freeze really well, too. I love bagels. I especially love freshly baked bagels. I don't buy them at my supermarket, because I don't know how old they are-- and I don't think they
The Best Overnight Blueberry and Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
This Overnight Blueberry and Cream Cheese Casserole is a family favorite. First, it's delicious! It's also easy to make, as long as you do it the night before-- you want that vanilla and maple syrup custard to soak into the bread, yielding tender and moist French Toast. Bread is soaked, overnight, in a custard of egg, milk, maple syrup and vanilla. The next morning, it's baked
Homemade Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles
Until I tried Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles, I was really skeptical of the combo. I sure was wrong! If you think about it, waffles and biscuits have similar ingredients, am I right? Once you add maple syrup on the chicken and waffles, you get that wonderful combo of sweet and salty. This was a game changer for me and I hope you try it. Before the words "ew" fly
Easy Bavarian Style Apple Strudel (Apfel Strudel)
Apple strudel is synonymous with Germany, but there are many variations in other countries (such as Austria). My mother's roots are from Bavaria, and so I wanted to create the Apfel Strudel of my childhood memories. Authentic apple strudel dough is a laborious and painstaking process of rolling the dough paper thin-- so thin you could read a newspaper through it. This recipe
Homemade Peach Melba Streusel Pie (Peaches and Raspberries)
I love Peach Melba dessert, that is simply sliced peaches and a fresh raspberry sauce served over vanilla ice cream. Why not make it a pie? What a great idea that turned out to be. I made an all-butter crust, and a streusel with just a touch of cinnamon. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and there's a summer dessert that you will love. Frozen peach slices and frozen raspberries
Oven Roasted Asian Glazed Roast Pork Tenderloin
This Oven Roasted Asian Glazed Roast Pork Tenderloin is incredibly good. Pork tenderloin is my favorite "other white meat". It's very lean, and can be ready to eat in less than 30 minutes. The marinade is very easy to make, and makes a nice glaze for the tenderloin. You can taste the fresh ginger and garlic, and it's perfectly paired with rice-- and stir-fried Bok Choy (or any
Cast-Iron Skillet Raspberry Crumb Bars (“Skookie”)
This dessert Cast-Iron Skillet Cookie (Skookie) is very easy to make, as well as versatile. It's a perfect dessert crisp/cookie that is perfect for summer berries. By baking this is my cast iron skillet, I got a beautifully caramelized crust, that tasted buttery with a perfect balance of vanilla and almond flavor. The almond glaze was a perfect finishing touch to balance out
