"Memories are often associated with flavors and aromas. Over 55 years ago, my German mother carefully collected recipes from her mother, that had been part of our family for over 150 years. These recipes were originally brought over from Germany and adjusted in Northern Minnesota when Laura Ingles lived not far away on the Little House on the Prairie. Thanks to my mother's dedication, these recipes have not been lost and continue to be cherished by my family and children.
Enjoy!
