Polish Fest

For Father's Day, my husband's two requests were to spend time with "the girls" and to go to the Polish Festival in Milwaukee. At the festival, we feasted on pierogies, potato pancakes, schnitzel on a pretzel roll, sauerkraut (yuck!), polish sausage (of course), and cheese curds (this is Milwaukee mind you!).

We took the one hour polka dance lesson that they offered and convinced ourselves that we could dance! (Hey, no one knows us here!)








Happy Father's Day to the best dad I know!!!

Lamb Chops

This is my fool-proof way for preparing perfectly tender lamb chops. I put them in the oven and wrap them individually in tin foil. According to a chef from Notre Dame, he told me I am actually "steaming" these not "baking" them. But the recipe is quite simple:

Lamb chops
Ground pepper both sides
Garlic salt both sides
Fresh or dried basil both sides

Wrap individually in tin foil, put on a cookie sheet and bake/steam at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes for medium cooked chops. Let rest in foil for 5 minutes before serving.

MY TIP: You must wrap these in tin foil to insure they will be tender.
