  • Frozen Fruit Salad

    This recipe is from the wife of one of my bosses.  It tastes good on hot summer days.

  • Crunchy Bacon Coleslaw

    This recipe looked really good on the glossy magazine page where we found it pictured and also tasted really good when we tried it in our kitchen.

  • Frozen Corn

    This is the Hodnefield way of preserving corn.  It has a good sweet flavor and when eaten in the middle of winter, almost seems as good as fresh.

  • Stir Fry Chicken

    Mom and I love main dishes loaded with lots of vegetables.  We served this for supper when Dawn, Rachel, Jon, and Erika visited our house in celebration of Gert’s birthday.

  • Monkey Bread

    I first made these the morning of a Calvinette slumber party.  Even in the dawning hours of a new day following a sleepless night, they were a big hit.

  • Banana Bread

    Banana Bread is often served at Sunday morning lunches at mom’s house.  This bread stays moist.  Really ripe bananas give the best taste.  We often bake this in soup cans (fill about 2/3 full) for a more rounded effect.

  • Puffed Wheat Candy Squares

    Puffed Wheats definitely taste better when something is added to them.  This recipe was a staple in our house before we started making Rice Krispie bars.

  • Peanut Butter Brownies

    Going through our bar recipe files makes me hungry for some of the "old standbys" which we haven’t used for some time.  Here is one that easily makes a big batch (it makes two 9x13 pans).

  • Congo Squares

    I guess the chocolate chips are what gave this recipe its name.  Our recipe came from Gert.

  • Almond Bars

    We found this recipe in the Western cookbook and immediately liked it because it has a great almond taste without the hassle of rolling crust as for traditional almond patties.
