Mothball Christmas Cookies

by LeAnn Ralph on December 2, 2018December 2, 2018 in Christmas, Cookies

These cookies have a rich, buttery flavor, but they are not overly sweet.

As mentioned in the story “Good Things Come in Small Packages” from LeAnn’s book, Christmas in Dairyland

Christmas Bread

by LeAnn Ralph on December 24, 2013July 13, 2018 in Breads, Christmas, Norwegian

My first-generation Norwegian mother always made Christmas Bread for the holidays. The difference between Julekake and Christmas Bread is that Christmas Bread is not as sweet. It is delicious toasted and makes good sandwiches, too, especially sandwiches with cheese. Try with cream cheese, too.

Julekaga (Julekake)

by LeAnn Ralph on November 30, 2013July 13, 2018 in Breads, Christmas, Norwegian

There are several ways to spell Julekaga. Take your pick. Either way, it’s a wonderful addition to the Christmas holiday.

In addition to making lefse for Christmas, my mother made julekake and Christmas bread. The difference between julekake and Christmas bread is that julekake is a richer bread.
