Eat "Dutch" for Sunday Lunch
6 years ago
As my Dad's German family always said when they would eat their traditional German dishes. Today for Sunday Lunch -- we ate "Dutch" -- Jaegerschnitzle, spaetzle and "German" green beans (with sugar and vinegar and bacon and onions).

Comments (57)I think chicken and noodles may be a dish the farmers started as they would at times have lots of eggs. To me dumplings are not like noodles at all. Noodles have a lot of eggs. Dumplings maybe only one. Our dumplings were always the flat wide ones, no baking powder. The dumplings with baking powder are just like steamed biscuits, which by the way are really good on top of green beans seasoned with bacon or ham and onions. I have lived in Indiana all my life and on a farm growing up. My Grandma and my Mother always made noodles and I do too. There actually is no "gravy" it is just the broth that is thickened with the noodles. Our church has a meal once a month and that is always the main item served at the beginning of the food line and it is always gone and of course the mashed potatoes are right there next to it, can't have one with out the other. Making your chicken broth with bone in chicken gives a better flavor. No other seasonings are used, just salt and pepper. When my Mother was able to make noodles, she would give all the gals in our family a bag of homemade noodles for Christmas and for our birthdays. They were always welcome! It is a lot of work to make a lot of noodles and to roll them by hand....See MoreS/o picky eaters and lunch at school
Comments (38)Annie, I actually don't have a problem with Sebastian choosing to socialize rather then eat, well not with Sebastian anyway. I feel that part of why he is going to school is for the social part. I hate the way the schools devalue eating and socialization. The other problem is the cafeteria, actually it is a cafe-gym-atorium and it is loud and awful. All the kids prefer it when they have lunch in their classroom, at least according to my informal poll. lol, I have often had much with them in the cafeteria and once in the classroom. They were much better at eating while socializing in the classroom. The problem is lunch is when the teachers get a break. I would like teachers to eat with them and have their break during recess. My felling about food is make sure to feel good about everything you serve so it does not matter what they make a meal of. I told a friend of mine when we had 1 year olds, serve them good food and don't pay attention to what is on the floor or still on the tray. So long as you served it it counts. I don't even make my kids take a bite. I tried that once and the gaging etc was not worth it. Plus he had built up that he would not like it. I have told them if it is on their plate and they don't want it, don't talk about it. If they say something is disgusting I will require a bite, ignore it and I am fine. I just hate to have my food insulted ;-) Also they will need these manners for other peoples homes. My kids can have problems in the house of some peers as they are used to a certain level of food. They will not eat frozen pizza, super market rotisserie chicken ... We have friends who eat frozen pizza, when we go over to their house for pizza we bring dough, sauce etc. -Robin...See MoreEasy lunch to take to work
Comments (16)This isn't so much a specific meal as a lunch METHOD: On Sunday nights I make 5 lunches. Since I'm making for a whole week, I take care to plan something healthy -- I eat low-carb. I take all 5 lunches, 5 sodas and 5 pieces of fruit to school on Monday (the fruit is my after-school snack). Every day I bring home one lunch container. This works great for me because I leave for work before the sun is up, and -- not being a morning person -- I dislike thinking about it every day. Favorites: - Cashew Cabbage -- I have this at least one week every month - Stir-fry -- this is probably my second favorite lunch - Tuna salad or Chicken salad (with a pack of pita bread packed separately) - Chicken thighs and roasted vegetables - Hamburger patty with onions or mushrooms and roasted vegetables - Philly cheese steak roll-ups (made on homemade cheese roll-ups instead of bread) - Sliced chicken in cream and mushroom sauce - Steak bites and zucchini noodles - Deli roast beef roll-ups with cream cheese, provolone and lots of bell pepper strips - If it's a short week, I like to pack scrambled eggs, cheese strips, bell pepper strips and salsa (with a pack of carb-counter tortillas) and I make breakfast burritos -- but that meal doesn't last 'til Friday. Vegetables that often accompany these things: - Tomato-cucumber salad is a mainstay that probably shows up two weeks every month - Cucumber slices - Green salad, though that isn't my favorite...See MoreOutdoor family lunch

That looks delicious, Martha. One of the small family restaurants near our house in FL has German night every Monday. I took this photo of my Wienerschnitzel there. It’s usually served with spaetzle and red cabbage but I chose other side dishes.
