There’s no better way to wrap up our holiday recipe blog than to have Berg Larsen Group realtor and business partner, Jon Ness, share his family’s Lefse recipe. It’s hard to get any more Minnesotan (aka Norwegian) without having a recipe for this iconic flatbread. We are honored that Jon is sharing his Grandma Ness’ handwritten recipe. God jul!

Nanci Anderson’s Chicken Tetrazzini recipe adds an Italian spin on our holiday recipes. As a real estate agent at Berg Larsen Group, we knew that she would bring that special something to the table!
Years ago, the Anderson tradition on Christmas Eve was to have an Italian family dinner at Café Di Napoli in downtown Mpls. As the children got older and the family grew, we started having the large group for Christmas Eve at Grandma Lolly’s home.
However, Italian was still on the menu. To this day, Christmas Eve is not the same unless my sister-in-law, Julie, makes her infamous Chicken Tetrazzini. Even if she is unable to make Christmas Eve dinner, she still makes and delivers it to the hosting family. I have tried to make this delicious dish…

Today, Barry Berg invites us to try his recipe for Pumpkin Lentil soup. Not only is Barry the founding partner of the Berg Larsen Group, but he’s also an exceptional party host. Here, he shares not only his recipe but also his secret to entertaining friends and family.
When I first lived downtown at Stone Arch, recognizing that I was likely to be someone’s guest for Thanksgiving dinner in future years, I decided to invite friends the “night before Thanksgiving”. This night, a soup and wine dinner is a tradition I’ve now done for 22 consecutive years. In 2020, due to the pandemic, I made soup and delivered it to guests, rather than hosting the event during the heart of COVID.
What began as an evening with perhaps 14-15 guests has grown to…

"Our family holiday recipe is for homemade “Mounds Bars.” My big sister, who already had a family of her own in the early ‘90s, started making them and she’s made them EVERY Christmas since. I got the recipe and have followed in her footsteps once I stopped celebrating the holiday with her. For a while, we saw each other every other Christmas, and she would always send us a tin full of her Mounds…

Deb Shafer is bringing a savory slice of holiday cheer to our recipe series. As our office manager, Deb has a variety of responsibilities that keep us running smoothly. And, Deb’s Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese will keep you toasty warm this holiday season, so you can weather whatever comes your way.
"We really don’t have any special holiday traditions. We didn’t live close to our families, so it was always just the four of us. When our girls were very young, I started a tradition for Christmas Eve. Instead of making a huge meal, I started making parmesan-crusted grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Every year, we would eat that and then watch It’s a Wonderful Life. My girls now do the same with their families."
