Baking with Booze



This year may be a "booze infused" Christmas. Ha ha!    Hubby brought home a 4 oz. back of "Whiskey Stix" made here locally in our state.  They were spicy, they were delicious, but way over priced.  I, like most days, said "I can make this myself!"

I found a recipe for Whiskey "Sticks", and made them for Hubby's game day.  They are easy to make, healthier than most snacks they take, and delish!


I used a recipe I found on another blog, but the recipe did not state the size of bag (recipe reads: 2 bags).  I did use her tip regarding the shape of the pretzel, so it would be easier for dipping.  This recipe was pretty good, but not nearly as spicy as the ones we purchased.  I may do some tweaking and, as the kids say, "get crazy with the spices." 

Oh, and as for the size of bag I purchased, I used 1, 1 pound bag of pretzels.  However, I think I could have added a bit more to each tray.  I did use 2 trays to bake them on.

We didn't get as much snow as the weatherman predicted.  That storm that rolled through, gave us about 1 inch or less.  It's still on the ground in most places, and the wind chill about 15°F.  There is a chance for snow tonight.

Hubby makes me breakfast every Sunday morning.  However, this morning, he got a call-out for a "confined space rescue" at work.  He had a call-out yesterday too.  Today, if I want a wonderfully, delicious, veggie packed omelet (and some crispy bacon and fried potatoes), I'll have to make it myself.  Then again, no one can make them as delicious as Hubby.  Phooey, now my stomach is growling.  Guess I'm making something for breakfast now.

Never heard of whisky stix before, just checked out the recipe and they sound delicious. Think I'm make some for christmas at my in-laws - bet they've never tasted them either. You have such interesting recipes.

Never heard of Whiskey Stix....gonna have to look that up. Is it a "Grown up" version of Chex Mix?
It is the adult version of a baked snack mix, but my kids devoured these. The alcohol gets baked out, but the flavor stays - yum!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
