Whenever I get ready for a MidLife Road Trip, I have a million and one things to do. One of the most important is to make sure my husband has everything he needs until I return. He works hard and has long days and always looks forward to coming home to dinner. So before I head out on the road, I make sure to stock the refrigerator with some of his favorite dishes. When we were first married he introduced me to his favorite meal, Rouladen and dumplings. His parents had immigrated here from Germany and this dinner was a staple in his home growing up. His mother was an excellent cook.

No matter how many miles away I am, I always leave dinner back home, cooked with love.
