Germany Round-up / January Destination Denmark

Welcome to the Germany Round-up for MKMW! Our December destination was Germany and what a wonderful selection of German foods we have to share...



First up we have a beautiful Log Cake from Torview Toronto, who also shares a cute candy cane craft we'll have to remember for next year!

~~~

Next up we have a wonderful breakfast treat, German Coffee Cake from Chaya at My Sweet and Savory, her husband loved this delicious looking cake!

~~~

Here is a beautiful German Cherry and Almond Strudel (Kirschstrudel) from Janet at the taste space. Another yummy breakfast or dessert treat.

~~~

Margaret at Tea and Scones has outdone herself again with a complete German meal of Rotwurst, Spätzle, Brotchen and a beautiful holiday Stollen.

~~~

CJW at Unchained Kitchen made a fun German dish of Pretzel Roll Bratwurst Sliders to conquer a craving, yum!

~~~

Joanna at In Search of Lost Time made New Year's Eve Sauerkraut, to ring in the New Year, an old family tradition, what fun! I love family traditions.

~~~

Over at our house, I made a German Puff Pancake for the very first time (haven't posted it on my blog yet) and the kids and I loved it. We especially had fun peeking through the oven window watching the pancake jump as it puffed up and baked in our cast iron skillet.

~~~

Thank you to everyone who participated with our December destination Germany! I know it was a busy time and tough to get things done. Sorry this round-up is so late!

Time to get back on track for the New Year, right? Our January destination is Denmark as suggested by Janet at The Taste Space, thank you Janet!

I will be working on the December -- Germany round-up over the next few days and get that posted ASAP. I know it was a difficult time for lots of people to keep up with over the holidays and am so glad we still had some participants.

Our January destination will be Denmark, suggest by Janet at the taste space, thanks for a great suggestion Janet! I don't think MKMW has ever visited Denmark so that should be a fun one. You can leave a comment in this post with a link to your Danish dish or in the comments on the Germany round-up which should be posted in a few days :)

Happy New Year,

Andrea

December Update...

Hi guys! Sorry for being a few days late, things have been extra busy around here with the holidays and I have not had time to post the Afghanistan round-up yet.

Hopefully I will get posted sometime next week, I can't wait to see all of the Afghan recipes!

Our December destination is Germany so go ahead and leave me a comment on this post with a link to your German dish. What a perfect choice for this time of the year! I doubt I will get the Germany round-up posted on January 1st because of the holidays, so we might be delayed again by a few days.

I hope you all can understand and that you are having a wonderful holiday season :) And if you've missed a month or two don't worry, just jump back in whenever you have time!

Happy holidays,
Andrea

Afghanistan was suggested by Torview Toronto and seconded by Searching for Spice, so that will be our November destination.

Germany was suggested by Lexi at Big Momma and Me, and that will be our December destination.

I hope everyone enjoyed the round-up and is excited for our next few destinations, I know I am :)

Take care,

Andrea
