Strawberry Pretzel

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.

Sugar Cookies

Ah….the traditional frosted Christmas cookies. Of course this recipe doesn’t have to be used for just Christmas. How about Halloween? Valentine’s Day? The recipe source is listed as Penzeys, which, apparently, is a space company. I don’t know anything about the spice company, but this is one of the recipes that my grandmother used.
