For any special dinner or family occasion or holiday dinner this recipe for Sour Cream Crescent Rolls takes only 2 hours from start to finish. And they’re downright tasty too!

Easy Blueberry (or Cherry) Cheesecake Recipe

by LeAnn Ralph on November 2, 2014July 13, 2018 in Cakes, Desserts

This recipe is so easy that even my husband can do it.

(His specialities are boxed mac-n-cheese, Ramen noodles and frozen pizza!)

Hot Apple Cider With Cinnamon, All Spice and Orange

by LeAnn Ralph on January 5, 2014July 13, 2018 in Beverages

When the thermometer reads 15 below zero in January, hot apple cider is sure to be a hit.

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.

Potato Buns

by LeAnn Ralph on December 1, 2013July 13, 2018 in Breads, Buns

This is the basic recipe for “Hot Cross Buns” except with potatoes.

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.

Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake

by LeAnn Ralph on November 10, 2013July 13, 2018 in Cakes, Desserts

My husband loves raspberries, and this is one of his favorite desserts. I often make it as a birthday cake for him. The recipe (like the parfait dessert) can in no way, shape or form be considered a “heart healthy” recipe. But it is delicious! Also good with cherry pie filling instead of raspberry.

Quick Bread Mix

by LeAnn Ralph on October 20, 2013July 13, 2018 in Biscuits, Breads, Breakfast

After my mom and dad retired from farming and moved to the house where I live now, I used to mix up this recipe for Mom so she would have it to make pancakes, biscuits or muffins.

Easy-Cheesy Casserole

by LeAnn Ralph on October 13, 2013July 13, 2018 in Casseroles, Main Dishes

I have always loved mac-n-cheese, and this variation is one of my favorites!

Scones

by LeAnn Ralph on September 9, 2013July 13, 2018 in Biscuits, Breads, Breakfast

My mother enjoyed these biscuits with a cup of coffee. They are especially good if you make them with dried cranberries.

Refrigerator Muffins

by LeAnn Ralph on August 8, 2013July 13, 2018 in Breakfast, Muffins

If you like muffins for breakfast and snacks, this recipe makes enough batter for lots of muffins. You can mix the batter up, refrigerate it and then bake muffins as you need them. One batch of batter will make about six dozen muffins (more or less), depending on the size of the muffin tins.
