"You'll see that simplifying is not necessarily about getting rid of everything we've worked so hard for. It's about making wise choices among the things we now have to choose from. It's about recognizing that trying to have it all has gotten in the way of enjoying the things that truly do add to our happiness and well-being. So it's about deciding what's important to us, and gracefully letting go of the things that are'nt."
I’m so sorry for not updating for the past 3 weeks as I was feeling totally burnt out from all the blogging & baking. Situation at work also did not help at all & recently I have been actively looking for another job. Hopefully I can find one soon.
Today, I’m slowly beginning to feel energise again & so I decided to try making those soft pretzel that Rachel & Michelle likes to eat from “Aunt Annie’s” at Parkway Parade. Those snacks are actually quite expensive for a simple bread with toppings. So, I googled for recipes & found this particular one which makes use of a Bread Machine. I chose this recipe because we have one that we hardly use & it really saves me time & effort of kneading the dough. This Bread Machine took care of all the mixing, kneading & proofing of the dough and all I need to do is just throw all the ingredients in & set to “Dough”, that’s all….Great huh? especially when I don’t have much energy. 
This is our Bread Machine
And these are “Uncle Eddie’s Soft Pretzels” with cheese, almonds & cinnamon/sugar toppings
Soft and chewy inside.
Here is the Recipe : Pretzels – Soft
