Cold weather survival: Baking

 Things are looking very jolly out at the elf house in my garden.  I love the way the snow transforms everything.

In my mind, one of the best ways to keep a house warm is through baking!  This is a new cookbook I'm excited about.  It has all types of traditional breads and a much coveted recipe for Icelandic Vinarterta Cake!  As I bake my way to warmer weather, I'll share my triumphs and failures with traditional Nordic Cooking. It will keep me busy until the Spring thaw when I can start building elf houses again.
