Treasured Family Recipes

Growing up my mother cooked up some of the most delicious German and Hungarian meals. Everyone loved her cooking! It seemed like there was always a pot simmering on the stove. Some of my earliest memories are of her kitchen perpetually filled with the wonderful aromas of her homemade cooking. She was the master of taking just a few everyday ingredients and turning them into a mouthwateringly delicious meal. Find all my favorites here.

Apfel Bitten

My Tante Elizabeth taught me how to make her famous Apfel Bitten. These are a delicious German apple pastry that I have enjoyed at many family gatherings and now I can share how to make them with you.

Hungarian Goulash with Sour Cream Chive Biscuits
