German Brown Coal ::: Braunkohl (Slow Cooked Kale & Pork)

It is pretty amazing having access to truly authentic International recipes due to extended family. Peter’s Mom’s side of the family is 100% German and his Oma, who still lives with them, ran a German Restaurant in New Jersey when he was growing up.

This recipe is one they make often and the only one I have dared to replicate. This occurred when I had a mild obsession with kale in 2010! The pork and kale cook slow for a very long time, creating a flavorful and tender mix of greens and meat that works well with a side of roasted or boiled potatoes.

The Ultimate Thin Crust Pizza ::: Family Night

This whole wheat pizza from The Food Matter’s Cookbook was my first homemade pizza recipe test. Not the typical first pizza to attempt, but a great healthier alternative.

It left me DYING to find the best thin crust pizza recipe out there. It was kind of the opposite of thin crust.

Thanks to one of my fellow bloggers, Lexi at Lexi’s Kitchen, I found this very old looking website with a thin crust recipe. Lexi said this link was posted during an online discussion with Mark Bittman regarding pizza crust.  Pretty hilarious reading some of the highlights, pizza clearly has millions of options and pizza eaters even more opinions. Guys, don’t judge a book by its covers!
