I've got German food that runs through my blood. My mom's side of the family was very German. Think last names like Schiwart and Knippa. My grandma grew up on a small North Texas farm and learned how to make some of the best German food around. We eat egg noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas.… Continue reading German Rice Salad

German Sheet Pan Dinner
I'm on day 2 of this whole Keto diet thing and it's going well...so far. I may or may not have day-dreamt about a peppermint ice cream shake from Braum's the whole way home. I've been chugging water like it's my life blood. I've already blown through more than a gallon of water today. Multiple… Continue reading German Sheet Pan Dinner
Beer Brat Mac & Cheese
Boy howdy, it's been a busy week. Since I work overnights, I'm the gatekeeper between breaking news and what our crews cover for the morning news.

Needless to say, although my weekend was productive in the capacity that I didn't lounge around at home for two days---it was also completely unproductive. I'm just now getting around to my… Continue reading Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
Our Memorial Day weekend camping trip was a (partial) success! For it being my first time camping in almost ten years, I made it out relatively unscathed. No sunburns, no major injuries, and only a few itchy bug bites later---and I'm back to living in the modern world. It was nice getting away from it… Continue reading Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
German Potato Salad
Potato salads have always been an enigma for me. I've never fallen in love with just one and stuck with it throughout my life. I share the love for potato salads equally, without hesitation. Across all borders of flavor....tangy, mustardy, sweet, red potato, buffalo, dill...you name it, I'll eat it. My mom's potato salad recipe is a… Continue reading German Potato Salad
