My new addiction!

Spicy Pretzels!

My sister-in-law Jodi made these over the holidays and I'm totally addicted to them!

Of course, like everyone else in the world, I'm trying to watch what I eat, but what I have found is that these little guys fill me up! I have been having a handful of pretzels, some cheese and fruit for lunch. And when I feel the need to snack...these spicy guys do the trick.

Plus, I think the spicy in them makes me drink more water! And that's always a good thing!

So, I'm sharing the recipe! (Hope that's okay Jod!)

Hot Spicy Pretzel Sticks

1 bag of stick pretzels
1/2 cup veg. oil
1 package of dry ranch mix
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper

You kinda make this like Chex-mix. Mix all the spices with the oil first, then pour over a big bowl of pretzel sticks. Toss well. Then spread all the pretzels onto a jelly-roll pan. Bake in the oven @ 250 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. They are so good! I hope you love them as much as I do!

(these would make great gift for the guy in your life...add a six-pack of beer and he might just clean the toilets for you!)

Valentine's Day Wreath!

I saw this on Little Birdie Secrets and I thought it was just perfect. Simple and easy!

Instead of the glue (way to messy for me, I used straight pins...about 300 or so of them!)

I also didn't do the back of my heart...I just hung it up and made sure there wasn't any white spaces from any direction. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time...it does take a while!

Here's how mine turned out!

The Best Gift!

Remember this post last year!

Well, I got the 2009 version for Christmas this year! I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVE these books.

They are an investment, but I honestly think that they are worth every single penny. They are a true treasure in my eyes.

I know this blog isn't fabulous, or that many people even read it, but when I originally started the Sullivan Sitcom...it was for my family. A way to keep track of all the little things (and BIG too!) that happen in our everyday life. And guess what?! It's still for my family. A online scrapbook of all the good and bad...happy and sad. And these blog books make it even more "real" for me.

I spent a hour or more on the sofa Christmas day (while my people were out playing in the before said snow fort!) reading all the blog posts and comments from YOU! I even got a little teary eyed a few times. It truly is priceless to me!

The 2009 version of the The Sullivan Sitcom sports a bright yellow hardback cover and 286 pages. It also included this little note from my hubby.


Andy used SharedBook to make these books and included all the blog posts for the year plus all the comments (those are the most fun to read!) So if you have a blog of your own, I highly suggest you make the investment. It will totally be worth it.
