Lefse

This recipe connect to BRIDGES in many different ways. To start, this recipes has been passed down through my family. Lefse holds a lot of heritage and memories for my family. Lefse is a Norwegian flat bread that can be eaten with just about anything. Just recently have I been able to learn how to make lefse from my grandma. Lefse has brought together my family and I hope that it can bring other people and their families together as well.
