Whole Wheat Cinnamon-Sugar Breakfast Pretzels.
Emotional well being in tiny pretzel form. |
Early spring in New England is a filthy tease. It is consistent in its confusing, frustrating... inconsistency. The first gloriously warm day will give way to snow, then wind, then rain, rain, RAIN. Those longer daylight hours I pined for all winter seem pointless because, really, it just means more gray skies. Because of you, New England spring, my body is irrationally craving gorgeous, colorful, leafy vegetables that have not yet arrived. I never know whether or not to wear a coat. Everything is muddy and, worst of all, baseball season has not yet begun.
How do I cope?
With food, of course, and lots of it.
Pretzel therapy.
Breakfast pretzel therapy, more specifically.
Because, gray or not, any day that starts with a soft pretzel is a good day.
