My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from a long line of German cooks...I love making anything with sausage, potatoes, and there's nothing better than something that's been pickled! My late grandmother, Marie, is my inspiration.
My cooking triumphs
My famous sweet and savory meatballs, spicy vegetarian chili, homemade white chocolate trail mix, turkey stroganoff, chicken fajitas, and peach upside down cake.
My cooking tragedies
Stuffed bell peppers...my husband hated them!

Apple Spice Dump Cake
Overall, probably the easiest dessert I've ever made. Smelled wonderful baking and tasted good too! Only issue I had was that the amount of spices seemed to overwhelm the apples, the flavor which I was really hoping would stand out. I'd make it again but probably either cut the spices in half or use the equivalent quantity (possibly a cup or two more) of homemade chunky applesauce or tender-cooked spiced apple slices instead of the canned pie mix. (I know it should be a 'dump' cake, but it's too hard to find apples in a can that aren't overly sweet.) Thanks for the recipe, we enjoyed this for Thanksgiving this year.
