This was a revelation for The Goddess. Who would have thought this would be such a winning combination? I’ve been reveling in leftover Oma’s Sauerkraut with Apple, Onion and Bacon and have I been enjoying it.

They make a Breakfast Lasagna, that had all of us tripping over each other to get another piece. We had all moved on from the real reason we were there. We were all there for the Breakfast Lasagna!
