German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut

These German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut and very easy to prepare. The addition of diced apples and caraway seeds really makes it. Sauerkraut is one of the healthiest, probiotic-rich, fermented foods around.

Hot Potato Salad

This Hot Potato Salad is a recipe my sister-in-law got from her friend's family. It's a perfect hearty side dish for Octoberfest. The hot potatoes get tossed in a  smokey, tangy, bacon vinaigrette. You know, to soak up all that beer!

Chicken Schnitzel

We had an Octoberfest dinner. My brother-in-law Russell was in charge and made the dinner. It was fantastic. He made saukraut and bratwurst, chicken schnitzel and breaded Emmentaler Cheese. It was quite the Smörgåsbord (yes, I know that's a Sweedish word!).

Turkey Swiss Sauerkraut Braid

One of my favorite recipes is Garlic Artichoke Braid. Here is another take on the same idea. This time using German ingredients.

German CurryWurst

I love Curry Ketchup. I was thinking of mixing up my own "interesting" condiments. While I was doing my research, I found out about Currywurst in Germany. I had never heard of it and, of course, made it instantly. I served it as an appetizer with the curry sauce as a dip. It was so easy and really delicious. Everyone loved it. I will be making it again and again! As one might expect, there is much discussion and controversy over the authentic recipe, they seem to vary using tomato paste, sauce or ketchup. The one I made seemed good to me.
