Creamy Chicken
This recipe quickly became a favorite of mine. Fast enough to do on a weeknight. Flavorful enough for special events it's only drawback is it doesn't quite have the most beautiful look. I will skip coating the chicken in flour on weeknights or in a hurry.
Harring Kaka
This was a strange recipe we found while going through an old collection. It seems to be similar to Swedish Tunnbröd or Norwegian Flatbrød.
Moms Swedish Meatballs
When my ancestors came to Minnesota they had to struggle to survive. This recipe shows the adjustments to make a good home cooked meal with limited supplies and with a house to maintain. Enjoy this quick to prepare flavorful Minnesota version of Swedish Meatballs.
Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette
This vinaigrette is a timeless classic for good reason. It balances the sharp, tangy balsamic with the smoother, mellow olive oil. Perfect salads, caprese or any other. Mix it with tomatoes, feta, strawberries, or any green. It's simple to make, just don't use cheap ingredients. You'll have a major challenge to find a time I don't have some in my refrigerator.
Minnesota Lefsa (Lefse)
Here is an old recipe that's been passed down for Lefsa. Careful with the image of the recipe, some important information is left out!
Swedish Gingerbread Cookies (Pepparkakor)
Pepparkakor are traditional Swedish gingerbread cookies, often associated with the Christmas season. They are thin, crisp, and typically cut into various shapes such as hearts, stars, or pigs. This recipe is a family recipe from my neighbor. The dough is flavored with spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sometimes cardamom, giving them a warm, aromatic taste. Pepparkakor are usually decorated with white icing or sugar glaze, adding a sweet contrast to their spicy flavor. The recipe makes a large batch so consider slimming it down if you don't need as much.
