I need to bring in a cultural snack from our heritage. I can barely make basic american and italian food. We eat out at asian, indian or middle eastern restaurants. Are there any Germans or Norwegians out there with some simple (very simple) kid friendly recipes? Even better is there a store or bakery in DC or MD that would sell something I could buy?
I can't think of a tradition either. The kids do storm through the house like little Vikings and DH is a big rule follower but that's about it for us. |

When I was in Germany there were soft pretzels everywhere, and they always served them with mustard. I've seen soft pretzels in the frozen food section of the grocery, maybe that can do in a pinch.
Or if it is in your area, try Heidelberg (sp?) bakery in Arlington. |

| My au pair makes a german apple cake for international parties. You could also bring a platter of german sausages - there is a german food store in Falls Church. |

| You could always serve pancakes for Norway. Make a thin kind--I'm sure you could find a recipe online, but you probably don't need to be totally accurate for this... Spread on some jam or berries, and roll them up into tubes. They don't need to be hot to serve. This is what some of my Norwegian relatives fed us one afternoon. |

Go to Cafe Mozart on H Street and get some food or cake/pastries. They have lots of wonderful stuff. I am from Denmark and I like the previous post about the pancakes. That's also how we eat them in Denmark and you can roll them with jam but when we eat them for dinner we roll them with a meatsauce kind of sauce. Always a hit with the kids.
Here is the link for Cafe Mozart: http://www.cafemozartgermandeli.com/zgrid/proc/site/sitep.jsp;jsessionid=aGRPQbM_nMab |

| Trader Joe's stocks Nurnburger Oblaten (gingerbread cookies) like the kind I always use to eat when I was in Germany. Also Wegman's has some German food items (Maggi) I think. I think the German store in Arlington (I think it's on Lee Highway) is your best bet. |

We always have stollen for Christmas morning. Warm, with a little butter, and it's heaven.

We don't put marzipan in it though. It's just a sweet bread. |

Lutefisk
2 tablespoons oil garlic salt black pepper dried dill weed bacon fat Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover the bottom of a pan with the oil and top with the lutefisk. Sprinkle with garlic salt, black pepper and dill weed, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes in oven, removing the instant the fish turns opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Pour over with hot bacon fat. |

I recommend Liebkucken which are chocolate covered spongy cookies. Not overly sweet.
You could always put out a jar of Nutella and white bread. |
