I loved my mom’s cooking. She had limited resources, but always managed to prepare delicious meals for our family and friends.
I inherited her love of cooking and baking, and am a very lucky recipient of her hand-written recipes. She loved collecting and trying different recipes, as much as I do.
The family tradition continues, as my daughter and granddaughter also enjoy culinary arts.
Sauerkraut is basically pickled cabbage. You either like it or hate it…I happen to love using sauerkraut in cooking and baking.
Not all sauerkraut tastes the same, so if you are not a big fan of it, maybe you should try different dishes prepared with this vegetable.
For this recipe I used really tasty sauerkraut….Bavarian style sauerkraut, which I purchased at Shop Rite, my local grocery.
It is so tasty, I can eat it just the way it is…right out of the jar…..has a slightly sweet taste..I highly recommend it.
I have been on the roll with testing various dinner rolls recipes to come up with a specific one, and ended up with some very tasty recipes.
The one I will be posting today has been voted as the “favorite” by my granddaughter.
We all have flashbacks to our favorite foods of the past, which we have not had for a while, and the taste buds are longing for them.
One of those foods for me is white rice baked with apples, sugar and cinnamon, which my mom used to make for us as a special treat on Sundays. It does not sound like much today, but then it was very special.
This recipe was posted on the wrapping of a Calphalon baking sheet, which I purchased for a family member.
Since there is a lot of butter and sugar in this recipe, I cut the serving pieces into cute little cubes of 2 x 2 inch….so there is less guilt for having more than one piece at a time….:-)
