Usually considered a special-occasion dessert, Rommegrot, a rich, creamy wheat porridge, makes a delicious, satisfying breakfast, perfect for a chilly November morning. If you’re getting a little tired of oatmeal, give this a try! Oh, but before you look at the recipe, please read the following warning…
WARNING:
Do not be alarmed by the three sticks of [...]

I’d been wanting to make bread pudding for a long time. My dear family members were not all that keen on the idea, however. Were they haunted by ghosts of puddings past? Who knows. But I was in a determined, oh-try-it-you’ll-like-it sort of mood, so I collected my ingredients (And my thoughts? Well…) and set [...]

Today was the pie-baking day, and the outcome was one Dutch apple and one pecan. Now the pecan… Oh, the pecan! The recipe, handed down [...]

Look what we had for supper yesterday evening! Amanda made a double-batch of shortcakes to go with our freshly-picked strawberries, while Erica made a bowl of cream cheese whipped cream to glop on top. To complete the red-white-and-blue triumvirate we added some store-bought blueberries. Don’t all the ingredients look delicious, layered together to create [...]

I had it all planned out this morning. We’d have waffles for breakfast and I’d take some absolutely stunning photos of them for my blog post. Then I remembered that we’re entirely out of butter. What a thing to be out of! We’ve had pounds and pounds of it in the freezer for so long, [...]

I’ve received a most kind request for some of the recipes used at the Ladies’ Luncheon my sister Audra hosted a couple weeks ago. While “vastly happy to oblige” (too much Pride and Prejudice-watching), I’m afraid I do not have in my keeping all the recipes used at the luncheon. Those for the Tartlets, Sour [...]

The flavors of warm, freshly-baked banana nut bread are truly comforting on a chilly winter’s morning. However, the preparation and baking time (upwards of an hour!) have kept me from attempting such a thing on a weekday, when breakfast is always served before seven-thirty (Get up at six to make banana bread? No way.). Here’s [...]

It’s rather a cruel irony of life — the fact that, though I am on a very strict low-carb diet, I derive no small amount of satisfaction and pleasure from the art of baking. Flour, that indispensable ingredient in bread, cakes and cookies, is a big no-no for those trying to cut down on carbohydrate [...]

I made a double batch of pillowy-soft, delicious-smelling Whole Wheat Onion Buns today. I’ll bet they’d be just perfect for hamburgers, or most any kind of sandwich a person could think of. I’m thinking of a big, mouthwatering roast beef sandwich, with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and sauteed mushrooms and green peppers.
This recipe [...]

Yesterday afternoon, just after Dad arrived home from work, a much-appreciated rainshower settled the dust on the dirt roads–perfect weather for a four-wheeler ride! After the supper clean-up, we headed out. Can you believe we almost forgot to bring buckets for gathering wild blueberries? Here in Minnesota, July is the month the delicious pea-sized berries [...]
