A New Twist on Brownies :-)

 I LOVE mixing salt and sweet these days... 

here is an idea for the next batch of brownies that you make...

Crush some pretzels into the batter...

And put some on top...

Bake as usual...

SO YUMMY!!

You can also use crushed potato chips.

Just the right amount of sweet and salty.

My family LOVES 'em!

Breakfast Casserole

 I made a Breakfast Casserole for our Sunday Midday Dinner this week and it was Scrumptious!!!

You might notice the cute little oval goodies on the table as well...

I put cinnamon roll dough (canned) in my waffle maker and then iced them. And I also put crescent roll Dough (canned) in the maker and added butter and jelly. I pulled apart the rolls and then gently formed a ball before putting them in the iron. Yum! And the canned doughs cook in about 1/3 the time when flattened in the waffle maker. There are really a gazillion (slight exaggeration ) things you can do with a Waffle Iron :-)
