When one of my aunts passed away my family  talked about all the family recipes and what were our favorites .My mom is still with us but all my grand parents ,aunts and uncles have all passed.We compiled a family picture and recipe book and this was distributed to all living relatives...Great idea for any close family.Its priceless....My family is  from europe /speak german.call themself german because that was the common language at that time and not bercause they were born in germany.Most people were from all different countries  just  Trying to get away from the war.. they were moms and some dads just trying to survive with there small  childen thru wartorn europe.omg the stories.they all met up here eventualy in chicago.My mom was born in romania and my dad czechoslavakia.

 

Sorry to make a long story short.I will post these recipes any German favorites someone wants a recipe for?Dumplings, cabbage rolls ect

Thanks!!

1st understand our mothers didnt look for measuring spoons and such.alot of seasoning is by taste.we all kinda are familiar with that if we cook.so some passed down recipes are a solid foundation.amounts of seasoning  somtimes isnt noted.Translated best possible.

Thanks Damage, looks good, I'll give it a try.

Thanks Damage. Pretty close to what I do except I add chopped onions and green pepper to my meat mix and use a jar of marinara sauce - any brand - instead of tomato sauce. And, I add about a cup of the sauce to the meat mixture. Hadn't thought about the saurkraut - will try that.
