  • Chicken Noodle Bake

    This was a handout from a store taste test.  It was a chilly and damp day.  Yum!

  • Cheese Burger Pie

    Sister in law Nellie gave me this recipe.  It is a nice meat dish.  I usually serve potatoes, vegetables and salad with it.

  • BBQ Spare Ribs

    Clarice made these when Ted and I went to their house for supper when we were dating and when we were first married.  They were still living in the bungalow in Sioux Falls.  Some of our kids really like these a lot!

  • Waffles

    We usually make a big recipe and then cool the leftovers (if there are any) on a rack and then warm them up in the toaster for a snack sometime.

  • Oatmeal Waffles

    I was almost out of flour so I tried this.  It is good for a change.

  • 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!

  • 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

    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.

    This is a bread Mom used to make quite often.  The recipe says it is for 9 - size 303 cans.  It can also be baked in a large loaf pan, or two small ones.

  • Mrs. Olson’s Orange Slice Bread

    Mom worked for Olson's for a while. Mom always appreciated how Mrs. Olson always looked forward to a cup of coffee with her in mid morning.

  • 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.

  • Bread Twists

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