Easy Cinnamon Apple Strudel

Easy Cinnamon Apple Strudel by Nancy Miyasaki

This is super simple and truly delicious. I made it for John's birthday dinner, since he loves cinnamon apple desserts with vanilla ice cream. It's light and flavorful without being too rich. We finished it all in one night between the six of us. Mmm!

Spaetzle with Succulent Beef

Spaetzle with Succulent Beef by John Spottiswood

Our good german friend Helmut Solfrank loves to cook Spaetzle. He recently returned from a summer vacation in Germany and brought us a Spaetzle maker back! It's a simple device for making this very simple, but tasty, German pasta of flour, water and oil. You want to serve it with a flavorful meat stew with lots of juice/gravy. We…

Bierocks (beerocks, bierochs...whatever, they’re great!)

Bierocks (beerocks, bierochs...whatever, they’re great!) by Salad Foodie

A yeast dough stuffed with beef and cabbage then baked, this German “hamburger” has been a favorite treat whenever the mood to cook something different for others moves me. Make your own dough, use a box roll mix, or simpler yet, start with frozen dinner roll dough as I always do. Make them circular or fold up and pinch edges in to…

Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach

Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach by Robyn Savoie

These charming crescent shaped cookies are flaky, tender, bite-sized Jewish treat sure to please. They house the just-right amount of nuts, cinnamon and sugar. Making this cookie can be a bit tedious and messy but well worth the effort. Rugalach come in many flavors, but this is my personal favorite.

Ham, Green Beans and Potatoes

Ham, Green Beans and Potatoes by Denise Sherin

Another simple and hearty Amish dish. My grandfather made this after we had a big ham dinner using the leftover ham, he called it "slop" but it was a favorite. If you are using leftover cooked ham reduce cooking time to about and hour or so then finish with vegetables for additional half hour

Shoo-Fly Pie

Shoo-Fly Pie by Denise Sherin

This is probably the most well known amish pie. When we were small children our Grandfather used to take great pleasure in telling us that shoo-fly pie was made of actual flies! As we gasped in horror, he would wave his hand as if "shoo'ing a fly away" and say we got tired of shooing the flies away as the pie was cooling so we just…

CHOCOLATE ITALIAN SPONGE CAKE

CHOCOLATE ITALIAN SPONGE CAKE by For the Love of Italian Cooking

An Italian chocolate sponge cake has only four ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Vanilla can be added to enhance the chocolate flavour. The beauty of this cake is that it has no fat, no dairy, and no leavening agents. Stiffly beaten egg whites make this cake airy, soft, and spongy.
