"My thrifty Swedish grandmother would turn day-old bread into breakfast treats. Delicious dunked in your morning coffee. Use any plain bread or rolls. We always have leftover hot dog buns whenever we eat hot dogs. I keep a bag in my freezer and throw leftover rolls into it, when it's full I make Skorpa. You can use any quantity, I've used 4 for the nutrition calculator."

My husband, Walt and I live in Huntley, Illinois; about 1 hour west/northwest of Chicago O'Hare airport. I'm a stay at home wife with 3 adult children. I collect old cookbooks, enjoy reading, gardening, canning, candy making and jewelry making. I'm passionate about my savior, singing on the worship team and volunteering for a non-profit that provides free legal services to poor families. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home Contest Winning and those authored by Rachael Ray. A pet peeve is when a cook doesn't give an alternative for a difficult to find ingredient.
