How was your Christmas? This was my first Christmas without Tanya. Even though she rarely came over for Christmas, it’s still tough without her.

I hope you and your family have a great Christmas full of memories.
From my family to yours,

I attempted this recipe twice before I was successful. It’s a simple yummy recipe which is one of my favorite types of recipes.

Have you ever done or bought something but did not know why? A few weeks ago, I bought some marshmallow creme/fluff because I wanted fudge. Then I kept looking for a recipe that used marshmallow creme. I didn’t find any recipes that I would want to make. (more…)

During the Christmas season, I enjoy finding new recipes to try. So when I saw the recipe for Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies, I knew I needed to try them.

The day after Thanksgiving,the Imaginative One and I left early for the Magic Kingdom resort area. Before leaving Pop Century, we stopped quickly in the food court for a small breakfast.

Every year, I have to write down a list or create a list in my brain of what I usually make during the holiday season. This year I’m going to create the list on my blog. Then next year I can add to it if I want to or change it up.
My boys’ favorite holiday treats are priority. (Link to the list from last year.)

I have a favorite quote that I say all the time. It’s a simple quote that has a lot of meaning for me. It’s “Hakuna Matata.” The quote simply means “No worries.”
We live in a world where there is constant worry.

I’ve begun my Christmas Making and Baking 2016. When I found this recipe, I decided to make it since it looked so simple to put together.
While I was waiting to put the white drizzle on the pretzels the Wee One wandered into the kitchen. He decided he needed to taste the pretzels. The Wee One told me how much he loved the taste of the pretzels. He helped me put the drizzle on top of the pretzels. When I was packing up the pretzels, we put the pretzels into two containers. One was for later and the other was for he and his brother to snack on.
Later on in the day, we made another two batches of cinnamon sugar pretzels for a cookie/ treat exchange Hubby was going to attend. The Wee One helped me with making those two batches. He told me that he wanted to know how to make cinnamon sugar pretzels. The Wee One enjoyed making the cinnamon sugar pretzels.
The cinnamon sugar pretzels are easy to put together. When we did the white chocolate DRIZZLE, we used a baby spoon to do the drizzle.
I also used a large 8 cup measuring cup to make the pretzels. It was the perfect size
Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
Stars of the recipe:
- 1 (16 – 18 oz) bag of pretzels
- 2/3 c. oil (I used canola.)
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 & 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 c. cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
- 1 c. white chocolate chips
Steps:
- Prepare two cookie sheets by covering them with parchment or wax paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the pretzels.
- Stir until all the pretzels are coated.
- Microwave for 1 minute. Stir.
- Microwave for 2 more minutes. Stir.
- Divide them between the two cookie sheets. Make sure the pretzels are in a single layer.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- While the pretzels are cooling, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. (70% power, 1 minute, stir, if not melted – continue at 70% power 30 second intervals until melted.)
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the pretzels.
- Allow to harden.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!

We stayed at Pop Century in Walt Disney World on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.
After checking out of Universal’s Cabana Bay, we traveled over to Pop Century. Before heading to our room, we stopped at the food court for a light brunch.
I had biscuits and gravy with a tie died cheesecake. The tie died cheesecake is only found at Pop Century. Yum!
The Wee One and the Imaginative One had pancakes, bacon, strawberries, and grapes.
Hubby had eggs, hash brown casserole, and sausage gravy.
A better photo of the tied die cheesecake.
We decided to do something different for our Thanksgiving dinner. We ate at Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Boma was wonderful!
My shrimp, hummus and pita, salad, chickpea salad, and curry pasta salad.
Butternut squash soup – Pumpkin pie in a bowl
My shrimp, steak, stuffing, curry pasta salad, watermelon rind salad, and Brussels sprouts
Zebra dome, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan tart, and strawberry panna cotta.
Before and after dinner, we walked around the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We wanted to see how it was decorated and the animals.
This is a video of one of the Cast Members talking about Victoria Falls. He lived 10 minutes away from Victoria Falls.
Here are some photos from the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Since we had a big dinner at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, we did not have any other food.
Join me later for what we ate during our day of resort hopping on Black Friday.
