Brötchen (German Hard Rolls) | Magnolia Days

Here I am again with more German food. It isn’t that I had a grand plan or a theme. It is sheer coincidence and not a part of a intentional pattern. For Mother’s Day I wanted to cook with my mom and so I had her teach me how to make spaetzle. Then came the [...]

Yellow Lentil Soup with Vegetables | Magnolia Days

Recently I cooked Indian food for the first time. I knew it would be the first of many dishes. What I didn’t know was how soon it would be before I made the next one. It was shortly after I made Moong Beans when an Indian cookbook arrived in the mail. How great! I looked [...]

Spaetzle (Spätzle) German Egg Noodles | Magnolia Days

Mothers are special for many reasons. To celebrate the special women in our lives, the Sunday Supper bloggers are sharing recipes for moms.

Orange Blueberry Yogurt Bundt Cake | Magnolia Days

Details, oh details, how they can be so important. I’m one of those detail-oriented people. My memory is quite good and I keep lists and calendars to stay on track. Earlier this week I felt a bit ahead and thought how nice it was to have a little free time. I invited my mom to [...]
