Pretzel Challenge Winner

You all made this week super fun, with all of your creative pretzel making and picture taking. My inbox filled up quickly as you sent in your pictures and told of your experiences. I LOVED seeing whole families involved in the pretzel making process – kids, dads, pets…

Okay, not pets. Although they might have had fun too.

Here are a few pictures I grabbed to share  – wish I had room to show them all! Way to go everyone!

The winner of our Pretzel Challenge winner is:

Laura:  (laura.hojnacke@)

Laura, email me and I’ll send you your Heavenly Homemakers Gift certificate code worth $20 off anything downloadable in the Heavenly Homemakers Shop! 

If you haven’t had a chance to make these whole wheat soft pretzels yet, might I encourage you go do that? Make it a family event. Get the kids involved. Call in the neighbors. You can come up with different shapes and letters and twist up pretzels all fancy like if you want. Hey, it’s better than a game of Twister. Unless you like embarassing yourself in front of your neighbors. And then you get to eat the pretzels, which is obviously the point, and the best part of all.

Hey, maybe next I should extend a Twister Challenge. Now those would be some fun pictures to see. Not that you’d be able to actually take a picture with your right hand “on red” and your left knee “on blue”.

I’ve gotta say, that game ranks up there with some of my least favorite. Makes you wonder why I keep talking about it, huh?

Happy National Pretzel Day (Week) everyone! :)

Yes indeed, today is the big day. It’s National Pretzel Day! (I’m sure you all dressed up for the occasion.)

I made a big batch of pretzels earlier this afternoon. They came out fat and sassy this time, and rich and buttery, and were best hot and steamy and well {she says, with a bit of a tear in her eye}, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite holidays. 

Oh look, a tower of Pretzels:

It’s been so much fun to receive your emails showing your pretzel pictures and telling of your pretzel adventures!! Thanks to all have been participating so far in our “Pretzel Challenge“. 

It’s not too late for the rest of you to join in! Read more of the details about the Pretzel Challenge here (not that it’s very complicated), then send me your pretzel pictures!!

Everyone who participates in the Pretzel Challenge by Friday night, April 29, will be in a drawing to win a $20 Gift Certificate from the Heavenly Homemakers Shop!

Happy Pretzel Baking!

Menu Plan for the Week (plus a Pretzel Challenge!)

Did you know that Tuesday, April 26 is National Pretzel Day? Yes. Let’s have a moment of silence in honor of The Pretzel. I kid…sort of. I think it’s ridiculous that there’s a National Day for all kinds of things (like National No Pants Day), but this National Pretzel Day, I could kind of get into.

What do you say we have a little pretzel fun? Wanna make these pretzels with me this week?  Your family will love it! You could make them into fun shapes, or spell out people’s names or make a big long chain of pretzels if you want. Or just make regular pretzels, because there’s nothing wrong with being good and traditional. 

I have a little pretzel-making  motivation for you!  Anyone who makes our pretzel recipe this week and emails me the picture, whether they are traditionally shaped pretzels or wild and crazy pretzels or anything in between, will be eligible to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Heavenly Homemakers Shop, good for any of our down-loadable products!

So get your ingredients ready, make some pretzels, snap some pictures and send them my way by midnight Friday, April 29! I’ll draw a random winner from emails sent on Saturday, April 30!
