Hi Friends,
We officially have 3 of 4 kids in school. I don’t know where the time went.
We do a German tradition and give the kids a Schultüte ("school cone"), which is a large cone-shaped, cornucopia-styled container made of paper or cardboard (we used poster board) filled with a few small treats. My mother made them for us and now I lovingly make them for our kids. They get them the first day school until 1st grade.

Reader comment
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe. We have stopped eating beef and now I’m having to find recipes to substitute for burgers, tacos, meatloaf and such. These burgers were way better than beef burgers. This will be a staple in my monthly menu rotation.
