Ham, Sauerkraut & Apple Rolls (on cheese potatoes)

Don’t be hatin’! I really didn’t mean to do it. Honestly, I didn’t mean to post such a calorie-bomb this early in the morning, but I’m doing it anyway! Two simple reasons for that: a) you’d never forgive me for not sharing this recipe with you b) it’s just too good to pass up So, if you have any intentions of adding a teeny tiny layer of insulation over your…

    Chili Meatball Casserole

    Don’t think I ever asked if you have a weekly ‘clean-out-the-fridge’ dish as well, did I? I personally love ‘em, especially with a wind-chill factor of 3°F (- 17°C), like today. No way I’ll go grocery shopping, too much of a wuss for that. Anyway, my dish turned out so good this time, I couldn’t not post it. Usually the vegetables that need to be used up end up in…

      Cauliflower, Potato and Tomato Gratin

      On my side of the pond we eat cauliflower covered with loads of gooey cheese sauce. Indecent amounts almost. We’re not alone in that, are we? I hope not since it’s a match made in culinary heaven. What’s even easier is throwing everything into a big ole casserole and let the oven work for you. Add a handful of cherry tomatoes for a bit of zing and color, throw some leek into the sauce to spice it up…

        Ham, Cheese & Chicory Rolls

        This casserole is made of awesome! And no, I’m definitely not exaggerating. Not this time. We’re talking spiked mashed potatoes topped with ham, cheese and chicory (endive) rolls. What’s not to love? It’s a family recipe and undoubtedly a staple recipe in many Dutch homes. You can easily prepare this casserole ahead of time, which is a big plus to me. It’s the kind of casserole I’ll whip up when I know the next…

          Penne Rigate Della Kay

            Remember the Roasted Tomatoes & Magor Sauce I made? You just have to! Seriously, your only excuse would be short term memory loss! Or at least a lobotomy. I figured a special sauce like this deserves a special recipe, so I’ve wrecked my brain trying to come up with a recipe that would do it justice. Decided to just play it by ear. I threw in some extra vegetables,…

            Kay’s Fish Pie

              As far as I know—and I could be dead wrong about this—a Fish Pie is traditionally a British dish. I think we just blatantly stole it from them. Like their Sheperd’s pie. And lots of other stuff we’ll never give back. This is one of those family recipes that’s a food trip down memory lane to me. It’s also the kind of food I really like to share on here,…
