Homemade Soft Pretzels Recipe – Easy and Delicious https://happyhooligans.ca/homemade-soft-pretzels-recipe/ https://happyhooligans.ca/homemade-soft-pretzels-recipe/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:56:08 +0000 https://happyhooligans.ca/?p=25206 Soft homemade pretzels are one of those things that everybody loves but no-one ever makes, right?

Well, I have a little secret to share with you.

They're SUPER-easy to make at home!

Seriously!

They're really fun too - especially if you have little kids in the house because, hey, the kneading and rolling and shaping is kind of like playing with play dough!

Use your dough to make traditional pretzel shapes or pretzel numbers or letters.

Top with your favourite pretzel toppings, and boom, you've got yourself a delicious, soft, chewy homemade snack for after school or whenever.

And... they're so easy, your kids can pretty much make them themselves.

Check out the link below to how see "Miss Mess" (9 years old) whipped up this batch for us last week.

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls – Easy, To-Die-For Recipe https://happyhooligans.ca/bread-machine-cinnamon-rolls/ https://happyhooligans.ca/bread-machine-cinnamon-rolls/#comments Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:27:25 +0000 https://happyhooligans.ca/?p=812 So, I have this amazing cinnamon roll recipe.

You make the dough in your bread machine which makes the process so easy.

The part you do by hand is actually really fun and cool, AND...

They are the BEST cinnamon buns ever.

Here's the funny part though - when I made these the last time, I didn't use a big enough baking dish, and my cinnamon rolls rose UP as well as OUT.

They tasted delicious, as usual, but the results were quite comical.

I shared a photo on my facebook page, and people went nuts for it, saying they looked like Dr. Seuss cinnamon rolls, and suggesting that I make them this way for Christmas, dusting them with icing sugar, so they look like Christmas trees, OR colouring the frosting orange to make them look like candy-corn for Halloween.

Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that I wrote a post about them, and included the wacky pictures.

Check them out, and MAKE THEM! They are SO crazy-good. You'll never buy store-bought cinnamon rolls again.

Just use the right size of baking dish if you don't want the Suessical version. HA!

Whenever I feel like I'm slacking in the mom department, I bake homemade cookies. I'm not sure what it is about a homemade cookie, but when my kids come home to find that I've made a batch, suddenly I'm "mom-of-the-year".

These particular peanut butter maple cookies are a favourite here. An old school friend of mine gave me the recipe years ago, and I've been making them ever since. My family LOVES these cookies. The pale, golden colour... the soft, chewy oatmeal... rich peanut-butter and a hint of maple.... Mmm-mmm!

They. Are. Amazing.

This is your cake! I mean it! It might even be just as good as my crazy banana cake, and believe me, THAT cake is out of this world. I say "might" because it all comes down to personal taste, so I'll let you be the official judge!

My banana cake is crazy because of the way you bake and cool it, but this carrot cake is just plain crazy-GOOD. No wacky baking techniques - it's just a traditional carrot cake that everyone goes nuts for.

I've made dozens of carrot cakes over the years, but after snagging this recipe from a friend about 10 years ago, I've abandoned all other recipes, and you might too. There's no turning back after you've tasted this one!
