So what do you do when there is a blizzard outside?! You bake, of course!

Yesterday we got hit with 18 inches of snow! Daddy was home from work, sleeping on the couch.

The kids and I headed into the kitchen to bake some sweets. We made Snowball Cookies (next blog post) and we made these delicious Bosnian Sweet Rolls called 'Buchteln'. My husband is from Bosnia and these rolls seemed to be perfect for a cold, snowy day!
