Rustic Soft Pretzels

September 10th, 2014Tina32 Comments

Are you guys ready for another edition of Dave’s Bread Corner? I leave you in great hands! You ever been to a bar and ordered pretzels? I don’t mean the kind that sit on the bar getting sneezed on for days at a time, I mean the kind that shows up with earthy brown mustard or some cheesy beer dip and carries with it the warmth of the oven they just came from mere minutes before you eat them. Well, I have… and they are awesome. 🙂 I started the day with the question “What kind of bread have …

It’s zucchini season! Do you know what that means? If you’re an avid Pinterest follower then you know that every other recipe will have zucchini in it. I love zucchini and I don’t object to the sudden flurry of recipes using this veggie, so I hope you’re not sick of seeing zucchini recipes. I’m here to add to the fun with these spicy zucchini chips.

Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies

Is it normal to always have two jars of peanut butter in the house at all times? I feel like I’m running low when I’m down to one unopened jar. I guess it means that I love peanut butter… a lot, or I’m just being ridiculous. (My husband suspects both may be true.) 😉 My latest adventure with peanut butter is this awesome sweet and savory snack. It’s a combination of peanut butter and chocolate covered Chex with pretzels, and peanut butter M&Ms. Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Recipe (makes about 5 cups) Ingredients: 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/2 …

Crispy Baked Onion Rings With Chipotle Ranch Dip

March 31st, 2014Tina44 Comments

My youngest sister came over for a visit on Saturday and as always we had a blast. We started off our day chatting while we sipped our favorite iced coffee beverage, a Cafe Frappe. Then we got down to business, snack time. 😉 She was in the mood for comfort food and I was in the mood for something healthy. There just had to be a way we could both win on this one, so I thought “how about we combine both and make baked onion rings?!” These onion rings are the tastiest and crispiest baked onion rings that …
