Gerhild's Quickies

Here are some of my "quickies". Some traditional; some original. Recipes that are quick, easy, and delicious.



Even though I usually cook German foods, there are times that I want something quick and easy and not necessarily German!

Here are some of these recipes - variations on traditional ones and new ones as well.

Often, though, they will have a German twist added. For example, when our boys were young, we didn't often go out for dinner. But, I really liked Chinese food. I improvised and we had German "stir fry".

Desserts are another example. I LOVE marzipan. Very German. Very delicious. So, almost anything I'd make would have almond flavoring instead of vanilla to try to mimic the marzipan flavor. Hence, brownies with a German twist.

Below, you'll find some of my favorite "non-German" recipes, often with a German twist added. The only criterion here is that they are quick and easy!

Try them, and then send in your own quick and easy recipes!
