When I was a kid growing up on our small dairy farm in Wisconsin that had been homesteaded by Norwegian immigrants in the late 1800s, I figured everyone knew how to make lefse. After all, everyone I knew could make lefse, so didn’t that mean everyone else could make it too?
That was forty years ago.

a pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
Here is another casserole recipe that you can use for supper, to take to a friend who is feeling under the weather or for a POTLUCK! What would life in the country be like without potlucks?

I made this for the breakfast after the Sunday school Christmas program, and there wasn’t much left to take home!
Just mix the dry ingredients and Store in a jar until you want a tasty hot mug of tea.

When I was growing up on our small family dairy farm in Wisconsin, making taffy was a fun project for a Sunday afternoon in the winter.
