Bring on the carbs!

In my attempt to cook & bake more from scratch {okay and a slight obsession with mall pretzels and course salt!}, DH & I decided to try to make our own pretzels lastnight. It was fairly easy and they tasted soooo good! Honestly, I was a little surprised myself. ha ha! C even asked to take some with him for school snack - and he wanted me to write the recipe down to share with his teacher. He's a sweetie pie! ;) Anyway... we used the recipe in my favorite simple recipe book "Dining on a Dime" (you can enlarge the pic to read the recipe specifics).

Here is some pics we took... today's all about picture sharing, huh? :)

All the supplies together? Check.
Throw some flour on your cheeks to look like a real baker while kneading? Check.
Cut the loaf into smaller pieces to roll out? Check.

And roll them out into 18 inch snakes? Check.

Admire my husband's secret pretzel shaping ability? Check.

Add egg wash over lightly & add course salt? Check.

Yummy smelling already...

And we voted these 3 as our favorites...

Runt pretzel; snake pretzel; and poo pretzel. ha ha :)

While they're not perfect... they were soooo good fresh & warm out of the oven! Woohoo -- we did it! :)
