Red River Cereal Bread Recipe at Plummer’s Great Slave Lake Lodge
Peggy Overby was the Chef at Plummer’s Lodge on Great Slave Lake for several years in the 1980’s. One of the special food items she served was Red River Cereal Bread. She served it to Prime Ministers and Presidents from all over the world. Plummer’s Lodge Owner’s made recipe cards and handed them out when asked for the recipe. One of the recipe cards was given to Peggy’s Daughter, Cathy, and she is kind enough to share this recipe with all of us. Thanks Cathy!
I should add this recipe was affectionately referred to as Peggy “Cookie Dear” Cereal Bread
