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…

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.

Sauerkraut and Sausage Soup

Sauerkraut and Sausage Soup by Healthy Mamma

I hesitated making this soup thinking the kids wouldn't even touch it but to my utter amazement, each and every one of my 4 kids had seconds or third helpings! You just never know I tell you.

Spaetzle

Spaetzle by John Spottiswood

This is a simple and delicious recipe for Spaetzle. My friend Helmut normally does not add oil to his Spaetzle, but we did last night because it said to on the recipe on our Spaetzle maker. I think it helped make the dough slightly easier to work with and less sticky. Feel free to do without if you prefer.

German Pancakes

German Pancakes by lhuffman

My best friend's mother would make this for us for breakfast when I would spend the night. I loved it then and still love it now. It is easy and a kid-friendly breakfast. I serve it with fresh lemon juice and powered sugar or jams or syrups or even peanut butter. Fresh fruit and bacon or sausage also compliments it.
