Welcome to the recipe collection of Margaret Meps Schulte, author of Strangers Have the Best Candy, The Joyful Bear, and The Secret Society of Cats & Chickens.
I have clipped and saved recipes for years from many strange and untested sources. I’ve probably only made about 25% of these. I recommend using the recipes in the categories “Meps’ Favorite” or “Tried and Tested.” Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the results at all.
