Pintrest Recipe...Snacks!

source

I have quite a few pins for homemade pretzels, pretzel bites but I have never actually tried making them. 

I think the whole dipping them in boiling water sounded, well, strange, time consuming and messy. 

A few of my assumptions were true but when I was finished I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! 

 This is definitely a keeper!

The recipe is from Smells Like Home and I did everything the same except I didn't use the parchment on half of them because well they all got stuck.  Not sure I was suppose to oil them but I might have muttered a few unhappy words trying to get them off.  I was able to salvage most. 

Pretty little pretzel bites....

They are so addicting...fresh made from scratch.  Delicious!

Here are the salvaged ones...haha.  Oops.

And yes it was a tad messy...

 I think next time I will make a double batch and freeze some! 

Play-Doh...

Are my kids the only ones that do this? 

Please tell me I am not the only one that sometimes dreads pulling out the Play-Doh...

They like to chop it up into teeny tiny little pieces that always seem to make it into every corner of the house.  

But hey it makes the kids happy right!?

 

Pintrest - Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta

Success! 

I made a creamy tomato and spinach pasta for dinner and it was delicious! (Well the girls were a little apprehensive but they will come around :) 

I didn't have some of the herbs on hand.  I saw some in the refrigerated section at the grocery store the other day, I wonder if they are that much better than the dried? 

Recipe is here!

Land of sickness...

I have been consumed by the land of sickness...hope to be back soon :(

For the Mr.

I just want to send some love to my other half, the hubs, the Mr. Today is our 6 year Anniversary! Feels like just yesterday he left me standing on top of that flight of stairs. ;-)

 (Kidding babe...but you know you will never hear the end of that!)

Love you! To many, many more to come!!

Pintrest Food - Cheesy Bacon Potato Bites

I have the habit of pinning sooooo many things and never really following through on actually making/cooking/crafting. So now I am going to do one of my pins at least once a week and let you know if it was a success or FAIL. Because really we have all had those ;-) 

 This week I started with an easy one! Cheesy Bacon Potato Bites! 

They turned out delicious! Pretty simple, slice potatoes, boiled sliced potatoes for 5 minutes, arrange on baking sheet and then top with cheese and bacon (I didn't have any chives.) When it was done I topped it with a little sour cream and then YUM!
