Bienenstich (Bee Sting Cake)
Want to impress your friends with a German sweet treat? This is the recipe that will do just that. The cake itself is a typical European style (slightly dry) cake. But don’t let that scare you. The cake is filled with a luscious, rich and creamy, almond custard filling. To top it off, the cake […]
Barbeque Sauce
A spunky little sauce that goes great over grilled chicken breasts, or on thinly sliced leftover pork or beef, for a quick BBQ style sandwich. We’ve even enjoyed this served with boiled shrimp. If you prefer a smokey flavored sauce, add liquid smoke.

A special thanks to my friend Sandie for sharing this yummy recipe with me. After living in South Africa for several years, she returned, along with her in-laws recipes. This is one of my favorites.
Seven Layer Salad
I’ve been serving this crisp,refreshingly tasty salad for years on holidays such as Easter and Christmas. Best of all, it’s prepared the night before. There are never any leftovers.

Mother’s Hamburgers
These incredible loose ground beef sandwiches are cheesy and delicious! Special thanks to my old friend Maureen Frost who shared this recipe with me years ago.
