  • Bannock

    Arlo, Gwen and Elbert camped out in a tent in our back yard for a few nights during summer vacation in 1994.  They made bannock over their morning campfire.  They made sure all of the ingredients were out side the house or else I would have to set them on the deck before they got up otherwise it didn’t feel like they were truly roughing it!

  • Mulberry Muffins

    These provide a nice variety for breakfast.  Lori and Lloyd have snow vacation today (Jan. 27, 1994), and Lori plans to make a batch to enjoy.  Leftovers can be quickly reheated in the microwave to a more usual hurried breakfast.  The mulberries were picked and then cooked with a small amount of water, sugar, flour, and a package of black raspberry koolaid to enhance the flavour, then they were frozen.

  • Lowfat Oat and Bran Muffins

    These muffins taste great with some jam or a bit of honey on them.  Rachel makes them for her roommates at college and says that they like them too.

  • Cheese Muffins

    The recipe originally called for the cheese and 4-5 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon.  It didn't have the parsley, chives or onion powder.  They were really good too, just more fat in them.  In the COMPANY'S COMING cookbook, it also suggests that milk can be replaced with a tin of condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup for a different savory muffin.

  • Best Ever Muffins

    Best Ever Muffins

    These muffins have been made often by our family.  The recipe is from the early 1970's when I was new here and we made a Calvinette cookbook.  We like them, and over the years we have come up with some variations.
