Sassy Sister got a microwave for her birthday. You know, an Easy Bake Oven. But, she swears it’s a microwave, so we go with it.

Although we tried to keep it nice and tidy in the box (and in the closet), she was adamant that she was going to use it as soon as she woke up. I managed to hold her off until 10am when she convinced me that the pretzel kit would make the perfect snack.

The ingredients were nicely organized and we only wasted two bags of pretzel powder before following the rest of the directions easily.

Subtly Sassy Brother got to stir only once and had to get the business the rest of the time.

But, we ended with some super cute doughy pretzel sticks and cheese sauce.

The lesson from this microwave session:

If you’re thinking of making a pretzel in the easy oven, don’t.

Put one in the microwave instead.

See you next time. ~STS
