Easy Cabbage Pockets
I grew up in a town that was filled with Wolgadeutsche, or Germans from Russia. Family members and friends of the family made these cabbage pockets, sometimes called Krautbrot or Bierocks. This is a perfect food for lunches, as it is self contained and freezes well. I have changed it slightly to make it easier to make and enjoy. I love mine served hot, with ketchup for dipping!

This recipe for bacon and chicken fried rice makes a great side dish that has lots of flavor and doesn't take long to prepare. Don't cook the bacon too much; it shouldn't be crunchy.
Mexican Martinis
These are a bit labor intensive but worth it. Fresh limes and a good lime squeezer are a must.
