Week 3 - Day 4

 *What is your heritage?

A little girl came to her mother one day, and asked her where she came from.

As her mother delicately tried to explain the facts of life,

 the little girl looked more and more confused.

"Oh,"  she said.  "I was just wondering, because my friend said she came from Germany,

and I was just wondering where I came from."

Hi, and welcome back!  We'll be learning to make cuisine this semester

from a variety of cultural backgrounds, including French, German, British, Amish, Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, and all-American.  

Whatever your cultural background, know that you have an eternal heritage if you are a child of God.

Psalm 28:9 "O save Thy people, and bless thy heritage; be their shepherd, and carry them forever."

Revelation 21:7 "He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my child."

Hebrews 9:15 "Therefore he (Christ) is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance..."

Today we'll be making a German dish.  Gather your supplies and ingredients. 

Be sure to read the Healthy Home Ec book, as all ingredients and measurements are not listed here.

Make sure you read ingredients on the labels and choose natural, preservative-free foods 

(and organic if possible).

   Wash and cube the potatoes.

Add to the skillet.

 Saute the ingredients as directed.

Make the sauce while the meat and vegetables cook, then set aside.

Make the apple juice as directed.

Wash and cube the apple as directed.  If the apple is organic, you could leave the skin on.

If not, then peel the apple.

(I used 2 apples today, as they were small.  Both were organic, but I peeled one that had a little thicker skin on it.  The other one, I left the skin on.)

Add the apple to the skillet.

 Add the all natural sauerkraut.

(See note below on sauerkraut 

and read more information about sauerkraut in the Healthy Home Ec book .)

 Mix together.

 When potatoes are tender and meat is browned, add the sauce.

Cook until thick and bubbly.

 Ready to serve!

You'll enjoy the delicious aromas that fill your house as this cooks.  It's amazing!

The ingredients in sauerkraut should only be cabbage and salt. 

Did you know that sauerkraut contains nearly 4 times the cancer-fighting nutrients 

as unfermented cabbage?

Read in the Healthy Home Ec book about how to make your own sauerkraut,

and what a full moon has to do with it.
