A Healthy Start 2019

Do not think of Champagne as alcohol. Champagne can be a part of a healthy breakfast on January 1st. Vitamin C + Optimism is a way to start the New Year. Instead of a hangover remedy after December 31st. Traditionally, I start the year with a Mimosa in the morning. Why? Because a bright cocktail makes me feel good, optimistic. 

Happy 2019
Happy New Year 

Black and Paper wishes you a Great 2019!

Champagne Kraut

GLAM UP A Simple Dish

Traveling around Southern Germany from picturesque Christmas Market to market with friends, sampling stalls. It’s always a pleasure to have a glass of Gluwien with a Franconia Sausage.

There is a another culinary pleasure, the German staple, Sauerkraut. A simple cabbage dish served for dinner cooked with onions, caraway seeds, and soup stock cooked in water,  basic.  During a conversation around the stove, a change of recipe occurred.  The result, inspiration meets holiday feelings.

Last night my cooking enthusiast hostess decided to “Glam Up” the traditional hot vegetable plate for us with a variation on a basic ingredient. She substituted Champagne in place of water. Cooked Sauerkraut with bubbly is a way to make a common meal more fun.  Serve with sausages. Cheers!
Recipe:

Fermented Cabbage

Onion

Caraway Seeds

Bay Leaf

Substitute water with Champagne.
A Holiday Cheer 

Moet Chandon or any sparking wine.
