sharing my recipe box and a little everyday life...
Today I have a very special treat for you! My dear friend Angela will be sharing her husband’s family tradition of lefse making. Angela and I each married a Norwegian boy, and neither of us has never made lefse. So I am really tickled that her family agreed to take over the wheel here, and [...]

I first enjoyed this Peppermint Bark when my friend, Jennifer, gifted it to me a few years ago. It was such a beautiful present to receive. Tied up loosely with a beautiful wide royal blue satin ribbon, I tucked it away gently in my purse. I was anticipating eating it later that day, on our [...]

I’ve always loved the sweet tantalizing aroma that hangs heavily around a fudge shop. But, alas, I’ve never fallen very hard for the fudge itself. I think it’s usually just too sweet for a girl like me. My taste buds have always craved a depth of chocolate that has eluded me in these high sugar [...]
