This is a very filling meal that serves a crowd. You can halve the recipe easily or freeze for later if you are not serving a crowd! I love to serve this with mashed potatoes for a filling comfort food! It is high in sodium due to canned saurkraut.
This is a salad for bell pepper lovers. My Dad used to make this all the time and I could probably eat the entire bowl in one sitting. It tastes better if it is left to marinate in the refrigerator overnight. This makes about 8 servings and refrigerated keeps about 8 days.
This is what in German one would call an Eintopf, because it's all made using a single pot. It's a recipe my mom used to make; and it passed down from her mom. She wrote it down for me years ago, and I just found it again in an old cookbook of mine. The taste of this dish is very rich. It is best served over German Spätzle or broad egg noodles; however, rice will do as well.
This is a cucumber salad with fat-free dressing. It's my Mom's recipe--she adapted it after the Salat-Krönung seasoning packets came on the market; the packets are time savers and don't contain anything unhealthy. In using the packets, while I usually substitute the oil with water, in the case of cucumbers, I don't, because they contain enough water already. Makes about 8 servings. This salad goes well with salmon, or as a vegetarian meal, with boiled potatoes.
Once a month the ladies I run with get together to do some bigger-batch, healthy cooking of food that we can share. This recipe has less fat and less sugar than most we found. Freeze some, unbaked, in foil pans for quick meals later.
Quick and easy. I use the pre cubed frozen hash brown potatoes and country style sausage.
