Hit the Pot Game (Topfschlagen)

You put candy in a pot (we like letting the kids pick it) and place it somewhere in the room/yard.

Then, you blindfold the first person seeking the pot (we always go from youngest to oldest). and place them somewhere else in the same room/yard as the candy. They go down on their hands and knees and begin crawling around trying to find the pot using their spoon/wooden stick.

Scallion-Potato Pancakes

Have you heard of Kartóffelpuffer? The kartóffelpuffer is a traditional German potato pancake that is usually served at Christmas time. Well, this is my mash-up of that pancake with some ingredients from traditional Chinese Scallion Pancakes (葱油饼)

This is probably one of my favorite mashups of my and my husband’s cultures, it’s also one of my kids’ all-time favorite sides. I use the basics of the German potato pancake and replaced onions with scallions, then I added fish sauce and mushroom bullion to add an amazing umami flavor.

I realized as I got older, how much I need to embrace both exploring other places, and appreciating what I have here.

DIY Pudding Cups

Awe pudding cups that fun treat you would look forward to in your lunch, and let’s be we all ate first. I can tell you that that nostalgic feeling we have about pudding cups is not lost on our kids. My kids love pudding, and I was, for a while, buying those plastic pudding cups, ready to grab at any time for them. That is until I saw my garbage bin, filled with plastic pudding cups. 🙈
