This sauerkraut recipe has to be the best-tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage in general and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be pretty sour depending on how they're prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit since it was pulled from a collection of handwritten recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner, and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical sour sauerkraut recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon bacon drippings

Healthier Zucchini Brownies
A great way to get more veggies into my little boy - and a tasty (nearly guilt-free) treat for me! This is a combination of other brownie recipes I've read, with an eye to make it healthier: less oil and refined sugars, plus whole wheat flour! By pureeing the zucchini and using prunes to get a dark, rich color, no one will ever know there's veggies in the brownies! Who knew that gigantic zucchini would turn into dessert?
Baileys Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
I received this Baileys chocolate chip cheesecake recipe over 20 years ago from a local caterer. I have made it several times over the years and everyone who tasted it enjoyed it. Remember, this is not for the diet-conscious!
Pasta/Pizza Sauce
This pasta sauce works as a pizza sauce too! My mom gave me the recipe. It's quick and easy to make and can be doubled or tripled. Substitute other cheeses and herbs for variety.
