German Pretzels (Bretzen) by Foodiewife

"Bretzen" are a traditional soft pretzel that is often sliced in half and buttered, as a breakfast treat. These bring back my memories of my childhood, living in Bavaria.

Spatzle by Carolinaheartstrings

For my last recipe this month, I once again dug into my old metal recipe box in search of something from my Russian/German grandma’s kitchen. When I think about visiting my grandma’s house as a child, the kitchen is always in my mind and generally she is there with her apron on, the flour bin open, kneading dough or cutting noodles.…
