Grandma Nelson’s Cardamom Bread submitted by Mary Stetson

“I learned how to bake bread from my mother who learned from her mother, my
Grandma Nelson, who emigrated from Värmland as a teenager about 1906 and settled
in St. Paul, MN. She worked as a cook in the Hill mansion before she married my
Grandfather, Olof Gustav Nelson. They raised a family in St. Paul. Most of the girls in
the family, including my mother, worked in offices at the Great Northern Railroad, I
enjoy baking cardamom bread because it brings back memories of my mom and
grandma and other relatives.” Link to Grandma Nelson’s Cardamon Bread recipe.

Rhubarb Tart with Vanilla Cream Submitted by Chris Fleissner

“I just joined the SAHSWI this year. I am enjoying learning about Swedish culture and learning to research my ancestors. I have been very impressed with the Fika, and wanted to contribute. This is the first Swedish dish I have made. I used fresh rhubarb from my garden.” Link to Rhubarb Tart with Vanilla Cream.
