Pretzels

This was a fun little snack I wanted to try.  But I will have to warn you - watch it the last 15 minutes really closely.  I had them in the oven, stirring every 10 minutes.  The recipe said to cook it 30 minutes, but I should have taken them out at 20.  The last 10 minutes turned them too dark.  It is probably my oven, so if you try this - keep your eyes on them.  Here is the recipe:

16 oz. pretzels - put in a roasting pan

Mix:
1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Pour mixture over pretzels.  Place in 300 degree oven.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Stir every 10 minutes.

Take out of oven and spread out on paper towels to cool.  Store in airtight container.

Another little tip - I would double the cinnamon next time I make it.  But I like cinnamon!

Spread love and joy!

December is coming pretty fast, y'all.  And there is this little thing I have done for my kids ever since about 1988. I give my kids a "Happy December" present. When the girls were in elementary school and they came home from school on December 1st,  I usually had a little something laying out on their bed to find. A Christmas sweatshirt I made or a cute pair of Christmas socks or Christmas hair bow - something cute or fun to begin the holiday season. They are now adults, but I still get them something each December 1.  I mail it. Or if I see them at Thanksgiving, I can give it to them. I still do little things - Christmas earrings, Bath & Body Works Peppermint soap, a holiday candle. Oh, and I have a son that I don't leave out of the "Happy December" gifting. He has his own apartment now, so I can give him festive items, like Santa salt and pepper shakers or a Dunkin Donuts gift card for a speciality coffee. Or one year I gave him a pack of lip balm (ye...

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...
