German Potato Salad - Straight from the German -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 10/12/11 08:54
A friend of ours inspired us to make potato salad the other night. He was telling us about his American Oktoberfest experience and said that he had the best German potato salad of his life. It has been a while since we have made a true German meal, and...

Super Delicious Currywurst -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 05/02/12 13:30
Throughout Germany there are many different recipes and types of currywurst. We have seen currywurst as pathetic as some ketchup with a few shakes of curry to elaborate curry sauces. You can buy currywurst from many street vendors, typical restaurants,...

Käsespätzle (Cheese Spaetzle) -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 11/15/11 09:56
Perhaps the most typical traditional dish of all traditional Schwäbisch foods (see Fleischküchle , Potato Salad, Schupfnudeln). Spätzle is a type of noodle made from flour, egg and water. It is served in a variety of ways, plain, with gravy, and our personal...

Italian Pasta Salad -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 09/13/13 08:48
We enjoyed this refreshing pasta salad on the bank of the Main. Nothing like a picnic to kick off the weekend on a warm Friday evening. Two-three (meal-size) servings: 300 g noodles (whatever shape you want) 300 g tomatoes (we used slices baby tomatoes)...

Best Sweet and Sour Chicken Ever -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 05/12/12 14:11
This sweet and sour chicken is amazing. You will not find a better recipe anywhere (seriously, you think you have a better one let us know and we will try it). The chicken is soft, full of flavor, and just all around perfect. The recipe might be time consuming...

Sweet American-style Spare Ribs -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 12/08/11 06:22
Spare ribs were on sale this week at the grocery store and we just could not resist. So we brought them home and waited for the perfect day to make them. Good reason for a warm meal Well, the first snow of the season brought that day and we decided that...

Creme Fraiche and Lemon Pasta with Smoked Salmon -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 02/23/13 19:07
Sometimes you are just lucky and have everything you need for a delicious meal right at home. This was one of those times. We had everything...well, almost everything, we needed for this light and tasty dish. We substituted lox for the salmon because it...

Honey Garlic Chinese Chicken -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 08/03/12 10:34
She was craving Chinese food but with him away for work she did not want to go out to eat alone. Instead, she made some herself. A cheap way to relive boredom and have something tasty to pig out on :) Of course she cut down this recipe to serve one but...

Southern Honey Cornbread -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 05/09/12 15:10
There are few things as tasty as a slab of cornbread, toasted with some butter and honey. Sadly, cornbread is not too easy to come by, even in many parts of the USA. To get the real cornbread experience you have to go to the South where they are the masters...

Potato and Sausage Casserole -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 04/07/12 17:53
This seemingly bland meal has a lot of unexpected taste. Also commonly made with bacon, we saved on the calories and were still pleasantly surprised with the result. Our estimate is that it feeds about three people alone or four with salad and bread. 2...

Garlic and Lemon Shrimp Pasta -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 03/21/12 13:12
This pasta has a fresh taste. Unlike most pastas with an oil base, this pasta does not sit in your stomach feeling heavy afterwards. This is because the lemon keeps it light and tasty. Good as a smaller portion for lunch or a full meal with salad and bread...

Simple Nachos -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 10/16/11 13:03
Nachos are definitely not very common in Germany and when we are craving some the only real choice is to make them ourselves or drive quite a ways to pay a ridiculous amount of money. For that reason, we now make them ourselves. For Americans, nachos are...

Schupfnudeln mit Sauerkraut -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 10/03/11 05:32
Although not obvious from the recipes we have blogged about so far, we actually cook a lot of traditional German food. My boyfriend swears that he never ate this much German food before I came along, but I don't believe him. I have my own fantasy of him...

Kale Chips (Grünkohl Chips) -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 03/09/13 15:04
A friend came over last weekend and made these for us. Luckily she left some kale behind so we could make our own, because we were addicted! Kale chips are super easy, the toughest part is finding kale in season (which luckily is now). All you need is:...

Homemade Maultaschen: Completely from Scratch -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 02/16/13 13:23
Two weeks ago when she was feeling horrible and sick he promised to make something tasty for dinner while she sat on the couch watching TV and feeling miserable for herself. Something tasty indeed! Two hours (give or take) and a lot of work later, homemade...

Sweet and Sour Sauce in Four Ingredients -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 04/14/12 12:24
This sweet and sour sauce is as easy to make as they come. We don't think that it matches restaurant-quality sweet and sour sauce exactly, but for the speed and ease it is definitely worth making (and eating!). All you need is: 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/2 cup...

Arabic-Style Cabbage Rolls -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 03/30/12 22:52
Even if you are not a fan of cabbage, you will like cabbage rolls. With a flavorful filling and cooked in a tomato broth until soft, there is nothing truly cabbage-y about these. This recipe isn't super easy but it also looks a lot more complicated than...

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 06/22/13 11:33
Last Saturday was chaotic. We had lots to do and even though we woke up early to make everything fit, we went non-stop until our heads hit the pillow that night. While he was downtown getting some things we needed, she realized that in under an hour we...

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 09/21/12 20:17
Unfortunately, if you are not in Germany or do not have access to Southern German food, this dish will be nearly impossible to make. There is a way to make your own maultaschen but we haven't tried it yet...hopefully, that will be a project in the near...
