Tastes Like Strawberries?

It was a cloudy, cool, rainy day today... so what does that mean? A perfect day to heat up the house (and our tummies) with some yummy baking. Only one minor problem... No butter. No hard margarine. No soft margarine. No oil. How is this even possible? As it turns out, this is more of a major problem when I start scouring recipes for something,anything, to bake. And then I come across pretzels. Well, I had been wanting to try these again, so I used a different recipe this time. I doubled it (except for the egg), used grated mozzarella, and topped with cinnamon and sugar. The recipe made 16 mini pretzels and they were pretty good. Next time I would add more sugar to the dough.
... I just asked Jacob if the pretzels yesterday were yummy and he said "Yup." I asked what they tasted like and he said "Strawberries."
