If any of you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen my bread-making baking spree results from last weekend. Somehow I thought it was a good idea to take a bread recipe which I was pretty sure already made two loaves – and double it. There was so much bread that I ended up […]

Sweet Cornbread
Finally! You can stop drooling over the cornbread shown in last week’s chili recipe and make your own! This is our favorite cornbread recipe. It has enough honey added to the mixture that you really don’t need to add anything to it after it’s baked. But why would you do THAT?! Butter melting on fresh, […]
Lefse-making
America is celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday this week. This year, we are hosting the big dinner. Grandma N has been staying at our house the last few weeks as a prelude to our Thanksgiving celebration and will return home this next weekend. We knew there would be a smaller crowd this year and this way […]

Greek birthday

It was so authentic that half the staff didn’t speak English! We often ordered the sampler platter for the wide variety it offered but we also did a lot of experimenting […]
Norwegian Kringle
Mom has made Norwegian Kringle (pronounced kring-la; also sometimes spelled kringla) for as long as I can remember. I love kringle! Even though I don’t make it very often, they don’t have to be a special-occasion treat – they are good anytime! These are nothing like Danish Kringle – the filled pastry made in a […]
