Oh Sauerkraut, people either love it or hate it, it seems there is no gray area where fermented cabbage is concerned. I happen to love sauerkraut, but even if you are not a fan don’t be too quick to brush off this recipe for Sauerkraut salad, surprisingly you can hardly taste the sauerkraut. Sauerkraut has a…
Upstate New York Food and Recipes
I love to recreate iconic Upstate New York Regional Dishes and "lost" recipes from businesses no longer with us! I have made so many yummy dishes and treats, even some I never thought I would get right (I am looking at you, Sponge Candy).
