My 95-year-old grandmother, Margaret Troolin Anderson Peterson, gave me her recipe boxes a few years ago. She ran the Bethel College (Minnesota) coffee shop for years and was a professional caterer. Bottom line: Grannie could really cook. I decided to post the recipes on the cards in this blog. A new recipe card will be entered daily. Enjoy!
