Mary and Ada's Cookbook

After all of these years and many, many requests, a Chippewa cookbook with all of Mary's (and Ada's) recipes will be ready for publication this summer. While preparing it for the printer this week, I ran across one of my favorites...their breakfast coffee cake. This coffee cake is always the final meal for the campers at camp, a quick breakfast before they jump on the bus to head home. Enjoy!
