German Brotchen Rolls

I recently finished reading the Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy. The novel follows Elsie and her family during WWII in Germany. Elsie’s family (at least somewhat) sympathized with the Nazi party (more so, they did what they were told to keep their livelihood). It was fascinating to read a story from the perspective of a regular German citizen. The story also has a second, modern day point of view character, Reba. And honestly, I would have much rather read an entire story about Elsie instead of being interrupted by Reba. Reba was boring and whiny and I really just wanted to enjoy a good historical fiction. Thankfully, more of the story centered on Elsie and her journey through WWII, so I was able to deal with Reba. Since Elsie came from a family of Bakers (thus the title), there were many amazing breads described throughout the story. However, the one that stood out the most and had a prominent role in the story were the Brotchen Rolls. Brotchen Rolls

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham is my favorite way to use leftover Easter ham! It's a little before Easter, but I thought it best to be prepared for the eventuality of leftover ham . As if Baked Ham Sliders weren't enough! Do I have the recipe for you! For this recipe, I have a yummy, creamy potato casserole, but without the cream or the canned soup!

Steakhouse Garlic Butter

Today is National Steak House Day…um ok. Gotta love those random holidays! Ha! So what to make? Steak is the obvious choice, but Hubs and I agree that the steakhouses do it better. Hubs can grill a good steak, but honestly, the ones someone else makes are always better. So I decided to make steakhouse butter in an attempt to take our own steaks up a notch.
