My Omi turned 100 last week and I was there, along with the rest of the family, to celebrate this very special event. We gathered as a family, close and extended, and friends to mark the day. Inundated with great food, well wishes and lots good times, my grandmother was visibly enjoying the festivities, but also tirelessly working the crowd to make sure everyone knew how appreciative she was of their participation. To celebrate the event, I want to review some of the birthday girl’s favorite dishes. Come and cook with us! Continue reading “Happy 100th”

My weekly blog, originally started with my friend Jessica, entices readers to get into the kitchen and cook meals, every day.

Vegetable Charade
Incorporate the colors of the rainbow into your weekly meals.
The German word for food is “Lebensmittel” which translates to “means to live”. It’s what’s alive and we eat it to stay alive. What better food to live on and be the focus of our meals than fruits and vegetables. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors and textures and are packed with the vitality that our body needs. Instead of pushing them to the side and making them the unwanted step-sister that has to be invited to the party, or worse, has to be hidden, let’s make it all about them. Let’s celebrate their variety, vitality and colors of the rainbow. Come and cook with us!

Baking while Waiting
Wednesday night is blog posting night at Come and Cook with Us. Usually, I’m refining a recipe write-up or reviewing my post. Tonight, instead of doing any of that, my mind is with the upcoming storm. I’m not one to worry, but when even the kids’ school decides to close due to potential wind and flood hazards, I think we better prepare for what’s ahead. Nothing calms one’s nerves more than baking Christmas cookies. After all, we are in the holiday season. Here’s to my favorite of all times: Lebkuchen. Come and cook with us!
