This is a seat of my pants meal that I do when I have no family around. No exact ingredients, but I will post my methods with photos. Enjoy!

Specifically schweineschnitzel.

Started off with thin cut boneless pork loin chops and pounded them thinner, salt & peppered, then dredged in flour, egg and panko (which I had run through a food processor to make it finer).

It was decent. There's plenty of room for improvement though. Not nearly as good as my local German restaurant, but a heckuva lot cheaper 😄

I want to find a better option for breading and figure out how they get the breading to puff away from the cutlet leaving it more airy.

Mine seemed more like Mexican milanesa than schnitzel.

Served it with red cabbage (out of a jar) and some fried potatoes (bratkartoffeln).

Cooked the potatoes in bacon fat, and they were delicious 🤤

Gravy was an easy cream dill gravy. It was decent as well.

I am pescatarian but my kid who spends her summers in Germany has been craving meat balls so here’s my version made with Impossible Meat. I followed a combination of recipes I found for Königsberger Klopse and adapted the sauce to be dairy free as well. ( my diet is really not very German food friendly lol) served with Red Cabbage and Apple Saurkraut, pasta , and boiled potato. Don’t mind the pepper flakes on my meat ball … I just needed a bit more bite..

Recipe in comments. :)

I cooked flour with butter 'till it's getting lightly brown, then added milk and a bit of cream. After a lot of stirring I added freshly grated cheese, Cheddar and Gruiere. I bought both at a small shop in town, called Kasdantlerin. That roughly translates to female cheese dealer. A small amount of salt and megnut with a generous amount of black pepper and the sauce was ready. I mixed it with penne 'cause I didn't had maccaroni, also panfried bacon and fried onions.

The kids decided to cook up a recipe from their grandmother’s kitchen recipe book. Story and recipe in comments. Enjoy! And happy Mother’s Day!

While not a native German dish, it is frequently served in German cuisine, often prepared with pickles, paprika, and served over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. 

Zürcher Geschnetzeltes translates to "sliced meat Zurich style" or "Zurich-style veal strips". It is a traditional Swiss dish of thin veal strips, mushrooms, onions, and white wine in a creamy sauce, typically served with rösti (Swiss hash browns). The German version, *Geschnetzeltes*, often uses pork instead of veal and is generally more sauce-heavy.

Recipe from *Dr. Oetker Best Recipes German Cooking & Baking Cookbook*.

I used pork in this dish making it more of the German version. I’ve included the original recipe. Enjoy!

NOTE: I was cooking for one tonight, so the photos show a one meal serving. :)

Slow cooked pork shoulder slices layered with onions, paprika and S&P.
