Swedish Limpa Bread

This is a recipe John made during his medical school days. It goes really well with creamy soup or with chunks of cheese when hiking. Since it is a braided bread, chunks are broken off from the loaf instead of being sliced.

Gena Van Dorp
Overnight Buns

This recipe is from Mrs. Tuninga, the wife of the minister who was serving College Ave. CRC when Ted and I moved to Winnipeg in 1971. We make them a lot, and I sometimes use this recipe for caramel rolls when I want to let them rise overnight and have them ready in the morning.

Gert Bakker
Mom’s Overnight Yeast Buns

On the farm it was 8 loaves made 3 times a week plus a pan of buns. Later, as the family grew smaller in town, 2 pans a week was the norm.

Mom DeKam
Irish Soda Bread

I made this with some of the meals at college, and then as a side for our Christmas dinner as well.

Dawn and Edward Berkelaar
Health Bread

Clarice Wixon
French Bread Elegante

Cut loaf diagonally, but not quite clear through. Mix together...

Bev Gravenhof
Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

Bev got this recipe from Mrs. Wheeler, the widow lady in whose upstairs apartment she and baby Ryan lived while Norm served in Viet Nam. These rolls are often a Sunday morning breakfast special at our house. At fund raising auctions, a 9x13 pan of these rolls has brought a good price. They are usually sold quite quickly at bake sales too.

Gert Bakker
Bread Twists

This recipe was originally for cinnamon twists, but when we find a good thing, we usually want more of it (variations).

Gert Bakker
Breadsticks

I got this recipe from someone in Regina. These breadsticks are really good (we have made them as a midnight snack upon occasion).

Jon & Erika Bakker
Boston Brown Bread

I can still see Lisa, Lyle, and Lana enjoying this when we stopped at a roadside park on our way to Kentucky in 1976.
