Baking!

I used to do a LOT of baking for the holidays but now everyone is choosing not to eat many sweets, sigh.  I do love to bake.

The only time of the year I make Povitica  (p-tetska) is at Christmas.

A wonderful sweet bread with a walnut filling.  It isn't particularly difficult except for the rolling out.  The dough has to be really thin, rolled as large as possible then stretched by putting a hand underneath and pulling it out.  Usually, I have to stop and let the dough rest at least once.  After spreading the filling on the dough, you roll it up in a long "Snake" and cut it to fit the pans.  

It is SO good!  My children are always afraid I won't make it!  I keep offering to teach anyone and everyone how to make it but so far there are no takers!  (I have considered making a video of the process, but that would mean learning how to make a video!)

These are Call for Seconds cookies.  My middle son and his wife love them!  They will be in tonight sometime so I made a batch.  I had to make a special trip to the store as the coconut I thought I had seems to have disappeared!  I haven't made them in so long I forgot how many they make!  If I ever needed to take a lot of cookies somewhere this would be a good choice;

I'd be happy to share recipes if anyone would like.

How about an overload of cuteness?
