At Home: Soft Pretzels

I finally found some active yeast from a local restaurant who was selling some of their pantry items to help their employee relief fund during this COVID-19 pandemic.  I looked for a couple baking recipes that called for yeast, and found Sally's easy homemade Soft Pretzels.  I followed her steps exactly and share my version here on What Micky Eats...At Home. I love that the baked and cooled pretzels also freeze well, up to 2 months, so I don't have to worry about eating them all in one sitting (though these are so good, it's hard not to!). Be sure to check out Sally's post for more step-by-step photos and a video.

At Home: Cheesy Kale Chips

Have you joined the kale band wagon yet?  Kale is one of the latest greens in the "super foods" craze and is super high in fiber, known to help lower cholesterol, and proven to lessen the risk of certain types of cancer.  It can be a bit bitter to eat raw, but it is easy to cook like you would spinach, by steaming or sautéing lightly with oil and garlic.  It can also be added to make your green smoothies.  Kale is pretty cheap compared to other greens, and we recently picked up a big bag for a couple bucks.  As my next experiment for What Micky Eats...At Home, Keith begged me to use up the rest of the kale and I decided to make Cheesy Kale Chips.
