DeKam Family Favourites 2.0

Masoor Dal (Spiced Red Lentils)

We made this the other day and the older kids gave it cautious approval (e.g. a "once a month" rating).

Laryn Kragt Bakker
Surprise Sausage Bundles

Erika made these for us during one of their visits. They are really tasty and loved by those who enjoy sauerkraut. This recipe has inspired a sauerkraut/sausage pizza. We'll add that recipe another time.

Gert Bakker
Potato-Tomato Gratin

I found this recipe in Aug/Sept 98 Canadian Gardening magazine; whenever I am leafing through magazines the recipes always catch my eye. It seemed like an odd combination to have tomatoes and potatoes together but we find it quite tasty.

We enjoyed it for supper tonight.

Gert Bakker
Goat cheese, spinach and grape tomato spaghetti

This spaghetti has a fairly subtle (but good) flavor. The kids didn't expect to like it because of the cooked spinach but they all enjoyed it.

Laryn Kragt Bakker
Dutch meat spice

From Auntie Grace, via dad.

Arlo and Heidi Bakker
Pumpkin Muffins

This is our current favorite [pumpkin recipe]. We have 1 cup bags of frozen pre-cooked pumpkin in the freezer which work for this.

Patrick and Melinda
Granola

This is the granola that we eat regularly for breakfast, and that we prepared for the Bakker Reunion at Moonlight Bay Centre (Wabamun Lake) in 2024.

Jon & Erika Bakker
Shoreline Granola

Elbs asked for the recipe a while ago too, so I'm sending this to the whole family.

Erika Bakker
Broccoli Salad

This salad can be prepared in many ways. Perhaps Bev is including her recipe that she shared with us when we visited John and Gena in 1985. I used memories of that and the recipe Nellie Ann shared with at our Christmas 1992 to mix up a version we enjoyed for dinner at Lyle’s apartment in Sioux City, on the day of his graduation from Morningside College. We also made a similar salad for Sunday dinner at Lisa and Lana’s apartment after helping them move in Iowa City. On that occasion I enjoyed an early morning walk about 12 blocks each way to get sunflower seeds and dressing.

Elda Vander Schaaf
Sproutie Bars

I came across a recipe for a homemade equivalent of Clif Bars. I modified a few of the ingredients to reflect what supplies our cupboards contained with positive results.
