This is another recipe mom received from her good friend Kim Caldwell. We loved bread pudding! It was a common dessert on a Sunday evening. Later, mom would make a savory variation. She would cut some of the sugar, add sharp cheddar cheese and sausage. We’d eat it with pure maple syrup on Christmas morning!
Some of Mom and Dad’s good friends, Kim and Darin Caldwell, gave out a book of their favorite recipes for Christmas one year. This recipe was from that book. It is a recipe they got from the Parish House Inn in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Mom always loved oatmeal! This was a good way to make the oatmeal “fancy”! Sometimes, we would use craisins instead of dried cherries (or omit completely for those adverse to dried fruits).
Cinnamon rolls are a classic at our house. We all love them! I remember Mom making these for my friends and I when we stopped at our house to deliver mom her Valagram (a yearly choir fundraiser where we would get paid to sing love songs). She also sent me on a few trips with a 9x13 full of these. I was supposed to share, but I definitely ate to many and got sick.
Æbleskiver is a classic danish recipe. We would often eat this the morning of General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a tradition that Brad carried over with him from his time serving a mission for the Church in Denmark.
These are some of our favorite pancakes! The cottage cheese gives and excellent moistness and flavor, and the cinnamon and nutmeg add special freshness. This recipe is adapted from an old Joy of Cooking book.
