Friday's Fave Foods---

Today's recipes come from my blogging buddy SC in Wisconsin. She has published some great recipes on her blog and was generous enough to send some to me for this site. Her blog is also where I found "Pioneer Woman Cooks"(see sidebar for link) which is an awesome cooking blog!

SC writes;
"It's so nice to have a cooking blogger friend :) Here are two recipes I'd like to share. They are two of my favorite things to make, and my grandpa loves them. They are from a good friend's Canadian Mennonite mother-in-law."
