This Christmas we traveled to Tennessee to visit our son and daughter-in-love and four grandkiddos.

Imagine our excitement to hear Jason was making us Sauerbraten and Braised Cabbage with Apples and Bacon for our Christmas feast?

Tom’s Dad is German and Sauerbraten is his absolute favorite dish. I’ve never cared for German food and assumed I would not like this. Since it’s usually very expensive I was hesitant to order it.

A first for Jason making this, he was worried it would not turn out well. The process took 3 days, but the results were outstanding.

Our wine of choice was Daou, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. It paired well as the full bodied roast matched the bold flavors of Daou.

It does our hearts well seeing our son enjoy cooking for those he loves. I am grateful we were seated at his table this Christmas.

“Cooking is an expression of love from the heart to the table.”

We hope you’ll try this recipe in the new year. You won’t regret the effort.
