FREEBIE ALERT: Receive a FREE “No Strings Attached” Pretzel from Auntie Anne’s ~ Saturday, February 20th!

Posted on February 17, 2010 | Leave a comment

      

Try a Fresh Pretzel at Auntie Anne’s for FREE!
Have you ever been taunted by the aroma of baked cinnamon goods while
walking through the mall? Chances are, you might have been smelling the
wonderful, fresh-baked pretzels from Auntie Anne’s (IMHO, the best pretzels
on Earth!).  Good news, Auntie Anne’s wants everyone to try a pretzel for
FREE this Saturday!      

Details, Details
What:  Receive a FREE Original or Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel.  One Per Person.
Sign up for an email reminder or learn more details here.
When:  Saturday, February 20 ~ 10am-3pm
Where:  All Auntie Anne’s locations.  Click here to find a store near you.     

On a personal side note…
I had an opportunity to hear Anne Beiler (founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels)
speak a couple of years ago.  She has an amazing life story of tragedy and
triumph that reaches far beyond how she started her pretzel business
with the recipe that was passed down from Amish Christian home.       

If you want to learn more about Anne Beiler, read her autobiography,
Twist of Faith: The Story of Anne Beiler, published by Thomas Nelson. 
You can likely find the book at most Christian bookstores, or click here
to find it on sale at Amazon.com.     

Enjoy! :)

Frugal Fun: How to Make Snow Ice Cream (a.k.a. Winter Bliss in a Bowl)

Posted on February 11, 2010 | 1 comment

 

Something New to Try
On this fluffy-white, beautiful snow day, I thought it would be fun to make
snow ice cream for the first time.  I remember my parents sharing memories
about making such a yummy treat when they were kiddos (they grew up where
snow was a more frequent occurence than Ft. Worth), and I always thought it
sounded like the ultimate “fun food!”

I do believe this is just the thing to try on this wonderful winter day, and
have already set my largest bowl outside to catch a container-full of winter bliss.

Following is the recipe I found, which comes with great reviews
from allrecipes.com:

 Snow Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients
1 gallon snow
1 cup white sugar (or half cup of Splenda to make S/F)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk (or half and half for a richer taste)

Directions
When it starts to snow, place a large, clean bowl outside to
collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste,
then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency.

Serve at once.

 Options:  Try mixing other favorite ingredients such as
cocoa powder, cinnamon, coconut, or chocolate chips. 
Get creative and the kids (big and small) will have a blast
making it. 

Do you have a special winter memory?  We’d love to hear about it
in the comments section.

Enjoy! :)
