Jill's Breadsticks

(my all time favorite bread stick recipe--easy and good)

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T. yeast
1/3 c. sugar
3-4 c. flour
1 t. salt

Topping:
1/4 c. butter melted
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 c. fresh Parmesan
dill weed



Mix yeast, sugar and water. Let bubble. Add salt and flour 1 cup at a time ( you may not need as much flour as it calls for, just watch until it is the right texture.) until smooth and shiny. Knead for about 5 min. Roll dough into the size of a cookie sheet and press to the edges of the cookie sheet. Spread topping on dough and sprinkle with dill weed. Let rise for about 30 minutes. Bake 400 degrees for 10-15 min until golden brown.

Melted Snowman

Frosty What Happened?

Ingredients:
White Chocolate (we used white candy melts)
Doughnut Holes
Rolo Candies
Milk Chocolate Candy Melts (one for each hat)
Fruit Roll-ups
Orange Mike & Ike Candies (or any orange candy you can shape into a nose)
Mini-Chocolate Chips
Pretzel Pieces (for arms)
Wax Paper
Directions:
Get out your ingredients. Cut Fruit Roll-up into strips and cut snips on the ends as "fringe". These are your scarves. Here's everything you'll need to accessorize one snowman (plus a couple broken pretzels for arms).

Melt white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring after each. When melted, spread a little "puddle" on your wax paper. Dip a doughnut hole in the melted chocolate and place on your puddle.
Accessorize your snowman with chocolate chip eyes, a scarf, a hat made with the candy melt and rolo, nose, and pretzel arms. Let set completely (about 15 minutes) then serve and enjoy!
