RECIPES FROM THE PAST

Welcome to all my recipes from the past. These are recipes that have been in the family from my Grandmother, Mother, Aunts, Great Aunts, and other Family members. After all, aren’t those the best recipes and dishes. Things we grew up with and enjoyed. This is the menu for those recipes which are just starting but will grow over time.

Spaetzels

The first recipe that I have put on here is one for my Grandmother’s Spaetzels. These are unique. I have never seen a recipe that is similar to the way she made them. And the way she taught me to make them. A Spetzel is sort of a cross between a noodle and a dumpling. And, it is served as a side dish. We usually make them with a pork roast and sauerkraut, which is typically our New Year’s Day dinner. It is suppose to bring good luck in the year ahead. For the recipe go here.

My Summer Salads

When it is this hot, I lose my appetite so really all I want is something quick and cold. And I don’t want to fuss with chopping and dicing or shopping. I tend to throw things together with what I have on hand and not what is listed in fancy cookbooks.
