Roast beef crostini with horseradish and blue cheese sauce starts with toasted baguette rounds (see my recipe for homemade baguettes if you’d like to try making your own).

Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)

This dinner idea comes from some women my husband works out with who are both married to Germans. They were discussing German recipes and this one came up and my family is crazy about capers so I knew I wanted to try it (thank you ladies, for the idea). According to the recipes I read,Continue reading “Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)”

Roast Beef Po’ Boy

This recipe comes from Anthony Bourdain’s Appetites cookbook. It is a simple beef roast thinly sliced in it’s own gravy, on a roll with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. So simple, but SO good! I don’t think you can do this sandwich justice in describing it. We’ve had po’ boys in New Orleans, and itContinue reading “Roast Beef Po’ Boy”

The results areContinue reading “Korean Beef Burritos”

You can makeContinue reading “Moroccan Meatball Soup with Israeli Couscous”

Fried Bologna Sandwich

Who else grew up eating bologna sandwiches as a lunch box staple? I liked them fine as a kid, but wasn’t overly impressed. This fried bologna sandwich is a step up from the soggy brown bag lunch version of childhood. The bread is toasted, the bologna is nicely fried, and it is served on myContinue reading “Fried Bologna Sandwich”

Short Rib Chili

Chili is one of those things that everyone makes differently, and there are so many variations. I love a good traditional ground beef chili with tomato based sauce and make that often. This chili, though, is probably our favorite. Short rib chili takes a little more time and work than typical chili, but it hasContinue reading “Short Rib Chili”
