Oktoberfest Lager and Sausage Stew

Fall = Oktoberfest. Feeling in need of some festive German-inspired food I surfed the web and found this recipe on The Cozy Apron website. Relatively simple to make yet serving up complex flavor.

Asparagus & Lemon Risotto

This risotto dish is wonderfully tasty and satiating on it’s own, but equally serves as the perfect accompaniment with other dishes. Creamy, tart and veggie fresh.

Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tart

My usual go-to Breakfast is a smoothie but my Hubby is the King of breakfasts in our house. Here is one of his specialties:

Beef and Beer Chili

This chili is a definite crowd pleaser!  Chunky and chockfull of flavor.  My mother served chili over elbow macaroni, which I find rounds off the dish nicely.  Bellies will be filled for sure!
