Krautkrapfa is a noodle dish stuffed with sausage, bacon, and sauerkraut. I wanted to try recreating this dish the first time I saw the picture. I already had a jar of sauerkraut in the fridge too. I’m not sure if I have ever had anything like it before though. The first step was to decideContinue reading “krautkrapfa”

rainy day lunch
Today is one of those chilly, grey and rainy autumn days here in Ithaca. It is a common theme in upstate New York as summer ends. The perfect day to laze about the house, and to catch up on reading. With the cold and damp weather outside, I found myself wanting to make something warmContinue reading “rainy day lunch”
himmel und erde (heaven and earth)
Last week I was happy to get pears, and potatoes among other things from my CSA. I love the changing variety of produce during late summer and early fall. All the perfect of ingredients for delicious comfort foods. As soon as I came home with my share, I knew I had to make another ofContinue reading “himmel und erde (heaven and earth)”
yeast dumplings and sauerkraut
I love, love, love, dumplings in just about any form. These yeast dumplings are easy to make, and yummy. They came out just the way I remember. Moist on the outside, sort of dry and airy inside. They really are quite delicious! My Swabian cookbook suggests serving them on a bed of sauerkraut. The originalContinue reading “yeast dumplings and sauerkraut”
Gaisburger Marsch Stew
I wanted to post something earlier today, but today has been so very busy. Specifically I was catching up with my Digital Libraries class. I actually made this soup a few days ago, but I’m posting it now. It’s not cheating if I made something a while ago right? Anyway, Gaisburger Marsch is a typicalContinue reading “Gaisburger Marsch Stew”
gluten-free breaded kohlrabi
Breaded kohlrabi and salad, it’s what’s for lunch! Kohlrabi is a popular vegetable in Germany, or maybe just with my family. I often eat it raw in salads, or as a stand in for cucumbers. I have even made it a few times with falafel and vegan tzatziki sauce. This recipe inspiration however, did notContinue reading “gluten-free breaded kohlrabi”
fishless filet and potato salad
I have been vegan for over six years now, and I still get excited over finding new recipes or new products on the shelves. I do not miss any of the animal products I used to eat. I hardly think of those things as food anymore. However on occasion I do have the craving forContinue reading “fishless filet and potato salad”
onion cake
Onion cake sounds a little weird, but it tastes rich, and creamy. It is the perfect way to use a bunch of onions in early fall when they are harvested. I should warn you, it will make your house smell like onions! Onion cake is one of those things I remember buying in bakeries whileContinue reading “onion cake”
mushroom cakes
During my pre-vegan days I didn’t like mushrooms at all. Actually, it was really about the texture, they are so weird and slimy. I ate them occasionally if I didn’t really notice there presence. After going vegan I slowly started to accept them into the “things I will eat”, group. This summer we even joinedContinue reading “mushroom cakes”
Blueberry Chutney
Blueberry season is one of my favorite parts of summer (well that and watermelon!), so naturally I now have a large bag of berries in my freezer waiting to be devoured. I usually add frozen berries to my breakfast cereal, or sometimes bake with them. As much as I love pie, and other desserts, IContinue reading “Blueberry Chutney”
