the perfect snack.

In my head, going to Grandma's house means lots of good things: family, Dutch Blitz, bowling, being cozy, and lots of food. My grandma makes these pretzels for us when we go to her house, and my mom has started to make them... and now I've started to make them.

They are my favorite. Although, they're not the healthiest. I probably only have them two or three times a year... but I can definitely see it becoming more often. They are SO yummy... and SO simple.

Don't go all Paula Deen on me. I don't eat like this everyday. I wish I did... but I don't.
You just melt butter and stir in onion soup mix.

Mix the pretzels in!

Bake and done! :)

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups of butter (that's 2 1/2 sticks, people.)
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 16 ounces of chunky pretzels (I use sourdough pieces)

Instructions:
  • In a big pot, melt the butter.
  • Stir in the soup mix.
  • When that's blended, I put 1/3 of the pretzels in at a time, stirring until they're coated, and then taking them out and putting them into a 13x9 Pyrex pan 
  • If you have any butter mixture left, pour it over the pretzels
  • Bake at 250 degrees for an hour and a half, stirring every 15 minutes. Eat a piece every time you 'stir' :)

assorted Christmas...

Man, I fell off the wagon again. Sorry... I wasn't even that busy over Christmas. It was very relaxing... and refreshing.

This Christmas...

We received a card addressed to our cats... from my in-laws cat. Best Christmas card EVER.

I was inspired by my mama to make these pretzel turtles. Problem is: I only had chocolate graham pretzels. Does that count as a problem? I guess not. So I improvised... and ran out of Rolos as well... so used some candy cane kisses. YUM!
before baking...


So melty... and so yummy!


Also, before we left for Christmas break, my students left me some sweet notes... they are the best!
I have the coolest job ever.
