Yeah, been a while since I posted a recipe or much of anything but here we are. Things are still hectic but did these for the kids today and figured I would share the yummy goodness! This recipe was not originally mine but has been tweaked a little to better fit my personal tastes. It is a very simple recipe and now you can create those wonderful large soft pretzels you get at the mall or the fair at home anytime you want! I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!

I prefer quick rising to cut down on time.) 15 Ounces Warm Water (110-120 F) 1 1/2 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar 6-8 Cups All Purpose Flour 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar 2 1/4 Teaspoon Salt 1 1/2 Tablespoon Oil Crisco 1/2 Cup Baking Soda 4 Cups Hot Water Kosher Salt Directions: In a bowl combine your yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar and water.

Well it has been a few weeks since I have managed to make a post. I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the new year and had just a great Christmas and/or Holiday Season in general. Out here in the Gibson home we did but it was bittersweet. My husband found out right before Christmas that they were terminating his position with his employer. Not that they were firing him but just removing the job completely. Needless to say it has been a hard month to deal with that reality. Thankfully the job lasted till December 31st, which he spent part of the time on vacation (paid) and the other part in training with the company in various places.  He spent 2 weeks doing nothing but traveling up and down the west coast. Not fun but you do what you gotta do to keep going. Now we are in January and he has been sent to a temp position in another state for the next 30 days, alone. Hopefully he will find a new job before the 30 days is up. If not, we have back up plan on top of back up plan ...
