I am originally from ND, moved to TX in 2002. I am more of a confectioner than anything else, Love to make candy. I am scandanavian decendent and try to stick with heritage foods, although its harder to find some ingredients here in TX than ND. Krumkake and Lefse are always a holiday treat at my house, but Lutefisk is not. Teaching my kids how to cook. My son is 10 and my daughter is 6, both have been helping me in the kitchen since they where about 4. Setting the microwave on fire because I put the chicken nuggets in for the time it was suppose to bake in the oven.
