I think that one of the reasons that I was so excited to make the cranberry mustard that I shared yesterday was that I couldn’t stop thinking of things to dip in it. Soft pretzel bites were at the top of my list. Originally, I planned to make my usual whole wheat soft pretzels. But,…

It’s Friday, Friday… Am I the only one who feels the need to walk around the house singing that horrid song every week when Friday rolls around? I’m really trying to stop, but that’s easier said than done. Fun, fun, fun, fun… I have to admit that I’ve gotten pretty far behind with my RSS…

Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away… Are you ready?
My husband and I don’t usually go all out with Valentine’s Day… It’s just not our thing. There are no diamonds or extravagant gifts (though I wouldn’t be entirely opposed to that). We usually make a point to get each other a card and (when we remember) a small gift. Instead, we usually make a special dinner together (which is rare) and make some chocolate covered strawberries.

Last week when I was preparing my chocolate covered pretzels for the bake sale, I opened the bag of pretzels that I had purchased to discover that it had more pieces than entire pretzels. That’s how it always works… If I had needed pieces, there would have been a whole bag of pristine whole pretzels. I…
