Grandma Hystads Recipes, Bar mixes, Food

This month’s recipes were taken from my wife’s recipe file box. If she has used them they are good. My niece who had started her Grandmother’s Cookbook was suppose to e mail more recipes, as I had used up all the recipes, from the first printed GHR cookbook, and I couldn’t find the extra recipes that were left over, due to space. Will have them here by the next time.

By the way Beverly has interests in the Home Restaurants Chain, and manages the one in Sorrento BC. They draw a lot of tourist from around the world to that part of BC. Beautiful lakes, etc. The HOME chain is famous for their home cooked meals. If you’re in the area, drop in and say hello to Beverley or her son Bradley.
