And only 76…

Kringla, Norwegian Pastry comes in many forms! A dear Norwegian friend Edith C. happily gave me her Kringla recipe years ago which was hugely popular at her church coffee hour.

This comes out perfectly every time, any way. Typically asparagus is paired with swiss cheese in quiches. Use whatever cheese you like! I am partial to cheddar so I use…

Europeans prefer a drier and less sweet scone, more like a biscuit. This is soft and yummy, bursting with plenty of real cranberries! It is a very…
