About Colleen
I come from German heritage. I grew up eating breakfasts with hash brown potatoes topped with sour cream or home made bread, toasted, smeared with real butter then topped with sour cream! Home made pastries like Kuchen…apricots or prunes spread on top of sweet dough with a sour cream, sugar & egg mixture poured on top and baked til just set were a weekly favorite.
