Flaedlesuppe (Pancake Soup)

This month for regional recipes was in honor of Oktoberfest. When I found out we were going to Germany I immediately asked my friend Simone, who is from Germany, for an authentic recipe. I asked her for a vegetarian recipe because I wanted something that she knew tasted good, you see because Simone is a vegetarian. She ended up sending me this recipe which I am in love with. It is a very simplistic recipe but it tastes so good. All it is is pancakes in a vegetable broth with chives. It is really easy but perfect on a weekday when you are pressed for time and just want something comforting but in record timing.

Cabot's Serious Snacking Cheese Review

Many of you probably already know this but the Mr. and I are huge fans of Cabot cheese. We usually always had a brick in our refrigerator. I say had because at our new location they don't sell the cheese. Don't be sad though because when we moved here I received an email from John over at Cabot Creamery asking if I would be interested in trying their new Snacking Cheese line, which of course I said yes. I got to choose two flavors and so I went with the one cheese that we love, habanero cheddar and a cheese that was foreign to me, garlic and herb cheddar.

Parmesan Pizza

When I was a kid my grandmother would always pick me up from elementary school and watch me until my parents got off from work and picked me up. Every once in a while I would walk in the house and see pizza sitting in the kitchen waiting for me. Now when I say pizza it is not the DiGiorno or even regular homemade pizza, my grandmother had her own way of making pizza. She would roll the pizza dough out so thin you could almost see the pan through the dough, then she would add her homemade marinara sauce and instead of tons of toppings and mozzarella cheese she would top it with Parmesan. There was something about this very simple pizza that set it apart from all the others.

Chicken Yakisoba

Most people think of sushi when they think of Japanese food however I tend to think outside the box when I think of going to a Japanese restaurant. Not that I don't think of sushi but the one dish I am always interested in is the yakisoba. When my husband was deployed to Okinawa for 6 months he was like any deployed marine out there, depressed and lonely and... yeah right, what am I saying? He was having a blast! He went snorkeling, to the aquarium he even went to this lady's house who sold yakisoba through her kitchen window. I remember him telling me about it and I just thought that was one of the neatest things. He loved the food there and when he came back home I got to work trying different yakisoba recipes. Now this is a little bit sweeter than traditional yakisoba but I love it. I am hoping to one day go to Okinawa and experience all that he had. I really am a little jealous... okay okay, very jealous.

SOP

I am sure you are wondering about the name and what exactly this is. Well it is supposed to be SOS but I was down to my last loaf of bread and didn't want to use it all in one sitting. So I looked around in my pantry and found pasta and since they resemble pebbles I renamed it.
