Easy Oktoberfest Recipes with Tons of Flavor

Oktoberfest is celebrated in Germany from late September into early October.  I always forget about it until we are well into October.  I figure we Americans can celebrate in October since we are not clued into the German schedule very much. I only remember it when I see ads for beer and restaurants talking about Oktoberfest.  Here are some fairly … [Read more...]

Lemon Apple Cole Slaw: Money-Saving Side Dish

We love slaw as a side for fish, barbeque, and sandwiches. This fresh-tasting slaw is great for family meals and it's nice enough for casual entertaining.

Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Streusel

We love warm apple crisp in the Fall. Is there anything more comforting? You don't have all the extra fat from a pastry crust like you get with pie.

Have I Stayed Too Long at the Fair?

We went to the Minnesota State Fair yesterday & had a good time. The weather wasn't too hot & it wasn't too terribly crowded.The last time we went it was really hot and we spent a lot of time in the animal barns and looking at farm machinery.
