  • 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.

  • Zucchini Jam

    This is good with Pineapple, apricot, or peach Jello.

  • 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.

  • Roggesbrood (Rye Bread)

    We don’t know why this bread is called Roggesbrood, the Dutch word for rye bread (the recipe calls for cracked wheat flour), but we do know why it has become a family treat--caraway cheese or peanut butter make excellent toppings.  Although finding cracked wheat flour in our part of the U.S. has been a challenge, Canadian stores are more accommodating.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
