Yummies

We've been having fun trying out mom's Christmas gift. She always talked about the big Kitchen@id mixer, and how some friends make noodles, kolaches, cookies and a lot of other goodies, so we got it for her.
Last weekend we tried it out on making noodles, and oh my goodness, it was much easier than how we used to make noodles. We whipped out two batches in less than an hour - mom couldn't believe it either. Now we have some fresh egg noodles, perfect for a big ol' pot of mom's chicken noodle soup.

Today was kolache day - we made sausage rolls (or pig in the blanket), cream cheese rolls, and cream cheese, cottage cheese and prune kolaches. They turned out so yummy, we didn't even cook this evening because everyone was eating the roll fresh out of the oven all afternoon.

By the way, if you happen to be from the side of the family that will be having the reunion in a couple of weeks, you can look forward to some of these yummies :)
