Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites

They are pretty knowledgeable-so my job is easy:) I think it is fantastic that they want to learn how to cook at such a young age-they are in the 3rd and 4th grade. Since we don’t have any kiddos yet, I am glad I get to work with these kids. We have a great time in the kitchen. On Friday we made homemade soft pretzels,the traditional salty ones and cinnamon and sugar pretzels. For fun, we also made pretzel bites. everyone loved these. Is everyone ready for the big game?

Crash Hot Potatoes. Man, do I love Australia.

Crash Hot Potatoes

First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin? In the end, I chickened out, though—I thought that might be a little corny, and truth be told, I think she was actually conceived in Brisbane. But I’ll stop there. This is a family-friendly website. Anyway, I just love Australia. They’re so simple, it’s terrifying. For now, though, let’s take a chill pill and make Crash Hot Potatoes! The Cast of Characters: New Potatoes (or other small, round potato), Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, and whatever herb you like. Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil.

Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make, and cook them until they’re fork-tender. Oh! Next, generously drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan. This will mean the difference between the potatoes sticking and not sticking, so don’t be shy here. Or something. That’s it! Buttered Rosemary Rolls. I had some rolls like these in a restaurant once.

Buttered Rosemary Rolls

Just after I placed an order for a ribeye steak and macaroni and cheese (excessive much?) The waiter brought a small iron skillet of bread to our table. They were warm, soft dinner rolls with the most delectable rosemary flavor and I couldn’t control myself. Within seconds, the rolls were gone and I was frantically scanning the restaurant for our waiter so I could request some more, which I eventually did. Three iron skillets of bread later, I was wishing I could cancel the steak and noodles. I duplicated these rolls the other day using—brace yourselves—basic frozen dinner rolls.

Let’s make ‘em, baby. These are frozen dinner rolls, sold at the supermarket. This is a rusty iron skillet, probably 7 to 8 inches in diameter. Basically, I can’t be trusted. Generously coat the pan with some olive oil…or some good ol’ cooking spray. Now place the frozen rolls in the pan, leaving plenty of rising room around each one. Wow—look at what happened!
