Hey everybody!!!  Y’all, it’s only Wednesday, what the heck?  When you have totally reached your quota of people annoying you, arguing with you, and generally just causing massive amounts of stress and discontent inside, and then<\/em> you realize it’s only the middle of the week, siiiigh.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m normally a very happy and positive person, but there are just some people who come along and put a quick stop to that, and folks, that has been happening since Monday.  Literally visions of getting in my car, driving far far away and changing my name have genuinely crossed my mind at least 10 times, yes a little melodramatic but whatevs.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess all I can do is keep on praying for my continued sanity  haha.  Soo anyways, back to what you’re really here for..food, and lots of it. I don’t know about y’all, but soft pretzels in my mind are one of the most delectable savory treats in the world (a very grand statement, but I’m sticking to it).  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I mean, come on, soft, buttery, chewy dough covered in sea salt? mmmmmm…Something so simple yet so awesome, and today I show you an easy way to enjoy them at home, and hello with an easy cheese dip!  I really hope each and every one of you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by !!!
