The Dutch Baker's Daughter

I am happy to announce that I've been chosen to participate in Saucy Mama's 2017 recipe contest! This is a big deal, folks. You may remember that I participated with my Saucy Orange Habanero Burger, a couple of years ago. Life gets in the way, so I skipped...

If you're like me, you've likely stashed a few leftover holiday provisions in the freezer. Extra butter, nuts, cranberries.... Now, after a brief vacation from baking, I can finally look at it all again! The first thing I pulled back out were those cranberries...

Sometimes the best things are the least complicated. Take, for example, these stunning potato stacks...a few minutes of prep, a few ingredients, and you've got an awesome side for an elegant holiday meal....or a simple burger.
I haven't been posting much lately, or entering very many contests. I've been very occupied with my impending status change to grandmother...er...GlaMa.  A week overdue! Luckily, these are so easy to make (and so good!) that we've had them several times...

When I was growing up, Sloppy Joe's were every school kid's favorite recipe.  In Wisconsin, however, we called them Spanish Hamburgers. Does anyone else remember this? Perhaps, in the land of meat and potatoes, a mixture of ground beef, celery, onions...
