Soft Valentine Pretzels from Emily

This recipe came from my friend Heidi. It is their tradition to make these for Valentines Day in lots of fun shapes. My tip: DO NOT over bake! :)

1 cup hot tap water

2 T sugar

2 T. yeast

1 egg

4 cups flour

Dissolve sugar in water. Add yeast, let sit 15 minutes until foamy (this is a fun thing for kids to watch). Incorporate flour. Shape inball and rise for one hour in covered bread basket. Punch down and roll out like a square pizza. Cut into strips. Beat whole egg and coat the top and bottom of the strips. Shape into pretzels, hearts, etc. Sprinkle with rock salt (optional) and bake on lightly greased sheet at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

If you want cinnamon sugar pretzels, omit salt; lightly butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after they are baked. mmm Yummy!

Artichokes by Camille

Camille said she wasn't going to sent this in because it is so simple, but I'm putting it up anyway!

Boil artichokes for 30 minutes.

Eat! :)

Can be dipped in garlic butter or mayo ( or I'm sure whatever else sounds good).
