In the Hive

I took a break from 9 patches to try out a new recipe today. The kitchen smelled wonderful with the scent of cinnamon. The recipe and wonderful close-up picture came from a cool blog called Bake or Break - Adventures of an Amateur Baker. She has lots of tasty recipes on her blog!

More baking and cooking! We are celebrating Mike's 40th birthday a little early! He wanted svickova with dumplings for dinner and he picked apple strudel for his birthday "cake" this year!

I made up a batch of Michael's favorite Czech christmas cookies this morning. I probably should hide them from him and the boys!
