Adapted Ines' favorite Banana Bread recipe by changing 2 eggs to 4 egg whites; and changing the sugar to Splenda; and changing out 1 cup of white flour to whole wheat flour. Ines always baked in her bunt cake pan. I used muffin pans and made 24 servings for portion control This recipe might have originated with the Purdue Extension office.
One muffin is about 20 grams of Carbohydrates = one diabetic carb.

This is a good quick breakfast or dinner meal. I like it with triple berries and Cool Whip. Or you can sprinkle it with some powdered sugar.

Don't let the name fool you. This is so delicious and everyone will think this is a gormet soup. (I couldn't find info on pickle juice, cumin, or lemon pepper)

A slightly healthier version of German Pork and Sauerkraut made with Turkey Kielbasa and baked in the oven.

A slightly sweet variation on this classic salad dressing.

This is certainly a family staple in my house. The kids literally beg me to make it for them all the time because they love it so much. Obviously any recipe is open to embelishment so feel free to make to your own taste.

Easy to make breakfast that kids love.

Very smooth, delicious summer soup. This makes a great appetizer before a meal. It would compliment a pork tenderloin meal perfectly.

These German pancakes come from my great great grandmother in Germany. It doesn't get any better than this! If you are using an iron skillet for this, then use Crisco to grease the skillet in between each pancake. If you have a German friend that can show you how to make these, then it's easier to learn when you see it done.
Yield: 15-20 pancakes, double or triple the recipe as necessary!

A yummy crepe-like pancake recipe passed down to me by my Omi (Oma is grandmother in German). They are to be made thin, and the size of a large frying pan. Fry with butter and serve with apple sauce or syrup.

A favorite breakfast food with my kids. Lower in calories than regular pancakes, and more filling because of all the eggs. Serve with German Pancake Syrup (I've added this too)

my german mother used to make these for us on the weekends and they are fantastic and really good for you.
