mini pretzel dogs

Mmmk so let’s be honest — even though it’s summertime and the kids are out of school and you’re probably (hopefully!) getting those Friday half-day summer hours at the office (at least my friend has these; but she also has things like luaus and pajama parties at her office, so let’s all be jealous for a second and then move along) and Minnesota is ridiculously beautiful right now — I’m coping with a major case of wanderlust. And by coping, I mean stuffing my face with things like mini cheesy pretzel dogs because SOMEBODY is keeping a vacation out of reach for quite a while. Pssh. The nerve.
But really, if I can’t travel to the shores of the Caribbean or the top of the Rockies or the castles of Germany or the… uh… well, anything of Bali (what is in Bali, anyway? Not sure, but I so want to go to there) or in my friend Erin’s case, the farmers markets and bakeries of France, I can be down with my alternative plan, which, as mentioned above, involves copious amounts of mini cheesy pretzel dogs. And baby snuggles.

All of this to say, my dear friend Erin of The Law Student’s Wife (you may recall her as the genius who combined almond chocolate granola in granola form a couple of weeks ago) is on the trip of a lifetime with her hubs to France for the next four weeks, and she’s asked a few of her blogger friends to fill in on her blog in the meantime. So I’m bringing mini hot dogs stuffed with melty American cheese and wrapped in pretzels to the party — you know, because I’m classy like that. But also because they’re delicious and I want to share the deliciousness with all y’all (I mean, the class just overfloweth).
So head on over for the recipe and while you’re there, give Erin a follow on the Instagram so I’m not the only one living vicariously through her photos abroad. Kthanksbye.
I’ll happily stay put if it means eating myself silly with these! And gah, I’ve been dying over Erin’s photos as well!
How amazing do these look? These would be so perfect for entertaining! Pinning!
So jealous of Erin! But glad that you are sharing these cheesy dogs with us. Can’t wait to bake up a batch!
These look amazing!! Love that cheese oozing out!
You had me at mini, cheesy and pretzel! Oh my goodness. They’re gorgeous too!
Love Erin too. Hope she’s having a blast.
Now, these dogs will make any Monday more tolerable!!
Cheese? Pretzels and HOT DOGS??? YOu know how to make a bread, cheese addicts Monday better! Love it!
Oh yum!! These look delicious, and the mini size is awesome! I definitely sympathize with you about the wanderlust – so many of my friends are traveling this summer, and the photos on Facebook and such are making me so envious!
Ughhh I’m dying. I want a whole sheet of these!
Yeah, I was just drooling over Erin’s photos the other day! I’m just a teeeeensy bit jealous …
So you just became a mommy, but you’ve already come up with a child’s most favorite food? You’ve got to be a genius! My kiddos will be all.over.these. I may not ever have to come up with a menu ever again. Cause the kids will eat these every single day!!
