Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread

Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos Miller

My paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside.

A Refreshing Combination of Nutritious Carrots and Mint

A Refreshing Combination of Nutritious Carrots and Mint by Nathan Willow

Carrots are easily one of the healthiest and most colorful vegetables to have in a cake recipe.
