Bratwurst, Sauerkraut and Bean Casserole
I made this grilling the sausage for 2 minutes then baked as instructed. It was fabulous. The touch of brown sugar made all the difference. This will be the only way I eat sausage and kraut in the future!

Mama's Italian Wedding Soup
I decide to brown the meatballs lightly before putting in the soup and I am glad I did. Got rid of some of the fat and they held together well. I really liked the addition of the carrotts. My soup was such a hit that everyone had two bowls. This one is a keeper. Fun to make and great tasting.

Creamed Spinach with Onions and Bacon
I thought this was great. I was not crazy about the bacon so I think next time I will use it as a topper rather than part of the dish. I used fresh spinach rather than frozen. Fresh garlic rather than powder. I also added fresh grated parmesan cheese just before serving. I also would have liked it more creamer so I will experiment with that next time.
