Pretzel Crisps and Dip, or as We Called It, the Pretzelbowl!

Do you like snacks? Salty, crispy, seasoned snacks that you can dip or just shove in your mouth on their own? If yes, you’ll like the Pretzel Crisps we had the fun of trying last week.

**Disclaimer: Pretzel Crisps sent us a very large complimentary bag of pretzels and dip fixings. The photos and opinions are my own.**

We ended up having a party for last week’s big game. Last year, in South Carolina, we sat home alone watching the game, just the two of us, in our livingroom. Me on the computer, the husband on the couch, both semi-bored and me complaining constantly that a) everyone local was a party pooper who didn’t want to hang out and socialize and b) none of the commercials that everyone was raving about on Twitter were being shown in our small town. We decided we weren’t doing that again! We invited over a small group of family and friends and started planning a menu.

Chicken wings? Enchiladas? A big sandwich? I ended up making a huge pot of chicken tortilla soup and jalapeno popper dip, while my youngest made cotton candy white chocolate chip popcorn and to-die-for lemon brownies with lemon glaze. Everyone that came brought something, so we ended up with so much food. SO.MUCH.FOOD.

Some of the soup is still in my refrigerator. (It was good, but we did so much snacking, people were full!)

A big hit of the party was the Pretzel Crisps. They were different from the regular potato chips or tortilla chips and were good with the jalapeno cheese dip, blue cheese dressing, and our favorite (which was gone way too quick) was the salsa, with the recipe and ingredients provided by Pretzel Crisps.

A jar of salsa, the juice of a lime, a chopped avocado, a red onion chopped fine = yum. Good mix of acid and onion and seasoned tomato salsa. The hardest part was choosing which Pretzel Crisps to open! (I have to admit to sneaking the personal size bag of jalapeno chips into my desk drawer as part of my personal stash for while I’m working. You’ll need help if I ever catch you in my stash. Trust me.)

As you can see, the chips and dip was appreciated! In fact, by the time the last guests arrived, it was <horrors> gone.

Moral of the story: if you want dip, come early. Or this happens.

Someone hogs the bowl!! She really did share, but you might have had to push her out the way just a little bit.

Thank you, Pretzel Crisps, for contributing to our awesome party and turning it into a #Pretzelbowl!

Pretzel Crisps come in nine deli-style flavors (all of which were included in my large bag, sweeeet), four modern classics, two minis and their seasonal indulgent options. You can find the flavors listed on their website. Pretzel Crisps are not only delicious but they have a lot less calories than traditional chips and none of the fat, coming in at only 110 calories per serving. They are thin, flat-baked pretzels and their shape also means they are easily stacked into mini-sandwiches with cheeses and deli meats.  The Pretzel Crisp company started in its early form back in 1970 and with a long timeline of events, detailed on their website, eventually came to make pretzel chips after starting with funnel cakes. (Like that wasn’t a good sign, right? I LOVE funnel cakes.)

For more information, you can visit their website or find them on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. They’re available at fine stores nationwide, including Ralph’s, Vons, Sprouts, Circle K, and a ton of other stores all over the United States that this California girl is unfamiliar with. You can also order them online should they not be local to you. (And I know how that is, I used to have to either order online or drive 2+ hours to Charleston or 1.25 hours to Wilmington to get a lot of the ‘cool’ food we liked. It’s usually worth the drive!)

    I haven’t tried pretzel chips but they sound like a better choice over regular chips. Thank you for sharing, I will have to see if they carry them in the story.

      I’m not a big potato chip person — I like pita chips, bagel chips, that kind of thing, so I rarely eat just the ‘normal’ potato chips. So glad to have found one more option, there are so many kinds to choose from, I hope you find them!

      They’re really good! I like that they are very light and I don’t feel like I’ve eaten my weight in snacks when I just need a little bit of yum to tide me over! 🙂

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!

So you may have heard about a little storm that hi So you may have heard about a little storm that hit Southern California this past week. For the first time in the ten years in our house here in the foothills of the Inland Empire, our grass was covered in big, fat white chunks of snow. And it was amazing. As you can see, Lady Sif loved it. She was trying to catch the, uhm, flakes…she rolled around and kept staring at the sky. I mean, who wasn’t? This was crazy. 

It posed a few problems. People here can barely drive in the rain. Our roads aren’t built for this much wet, and potholes were popping up everywhere. One drop of rain and people slow down, but snow was a beautiful distraction…so you see where I’m going. 

We may start to dry out after today. It’s sunny and there’s this blue in the sky that I’ve forgotten about, it’s been so long. But, it was hailing an hour ago and my backyard is still a mini-pond which the dogs will do anything to avoid when they have to go potty…which they put off as long as they can.

We’re from NY, so we’re not new to snow. We’re just acclimated to a climate that has us much more prepared for 100+ degree weather, not this constant low 40s. The layers of clothes, the hot showers and the extra blankets are getting old. Here’s to spring.
