German Dinner

Our German Dinner

We had a German Dinner on Saturday Night for our Home Learning Group.
We had a great variety of contributed dishes. We had a child's game for the younger ones to play, a geography lesson & a trivia game, too!
Fun, fun!

I made Red Cabbage with Apples & a Beef/ Tomato/Cabbage soup, like a goulash.
We also had:

• spaetzle
• sauerbraten
• sausages & more cabbage
• 2 other kinds of soup/stews; one with ham/potato & one with pork & root vegetables.
• Meat in fried dough, kinda like bierocks
• fried dough with powdered sugar
• oatmeal cookies w/ raisins
• Apple Turnover Cake
• cucumber/onion salad

"Frito Burrito"

Son named this one, too.

Frito Burrito inspired by Sonic Drive-In Restaraunt called a Chili Cheese Wrap. Ingredients for the easiest meal ever!

• Chili
• Flour Tortillas
• Pepper Jack Cheese
• or Cheddar
• Fritos
• Lettuce & tomato to make it a well rounded meal... not really, but we can pretend!

• 
  

We used to eat this combo, minus the Pepper Jack when I was living in Arkansas in my 4th grade year of school. We would go to the Skating Rink in the big town of Batesville... .order their chili, which they served in an individual bag of Fritos, with cheese melted on top!! Neat & yummy!

“CRATER TATERS”- Recipe

(So, my son dubbed this recipe) Crater Taters

is essentially it is meatballs placed on top of a hashbrown casserole.
I got it off of orgjunkie.com
Menu-Plan-Monday's website… which they, in turn got it from
Taste of Home’s site.

The "frying of the meatballs" session was easy enough...

END RESULT: It looked yummy & tasted yummier.
