Beer Cheese Stuffed Pretzels

Hi there my ATPF friends!  It’s me Claire, from A Little CLAIREification, back again with a delicious recipe just for you!  This month, I decided to make these Beer Cheese Stuffed Pretzels for One. Main. Reason.

Beer-Cheese-Stuffed-Pretzels-7

I know it’s hard to believe we are already into August, but I happen to know that a lot of people are doing a little happy dance.  No, not because school is starting (although there may be some “Summer weary” Moms that might be just a little relieved about that)! 😉

It’s because so many of you are football fans and just cannot WAIT for football season to start!  Now, here’s the deal.  I don’t really follow football (I know, I know – sorry) BUT… I do love the food.

So, while I really don’t care which teams are playing, if you invite me over for a tailgating party, I’m coming to socialize and eat great food.  True story.  Go Bruins! (oops, that’s hockey)

And I’ll also be bringing along some of these cheesy stuffed  pretzels so that you’ll keep inviting me back over.

These are easy to make, especially with the help of a little canned pizza dough, and my family LOVES them so they also make a great after school snack or movie watching treat as well.

The recipe does include using a stout beer mixed with a little baking soda but never fear.  The beer evaporates and cooks off so you get a fabulous, tangy pretzel taste but they are fine for grown-ups and kids alike.

Although I’d personally rather not share with my kids because boys eat a LOT, you know.

This recipe yields four pretzels but, since you’ll have plenty of the beer/baking soda mixture, I would suggest tripling the recipe. Believe me, party fans won’t care about the touchdown with these around and they won’t last long.

So no matter which team you are (or are not) rooting for, I hope you’ll enjoy these as much as we do!

And, just for Heather, “Roll Tide”!!  🙂   I’ll see you again next month and, until then, what is your favorite game day snack??

Beer Cheese Stuffed Pretzels

Ingredients

  • CHEESE STUFFED PRETZELS
  • Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) stout beer
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust (such as Pillsbury)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt

Instructions

  • Directions
  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper.
  • Unroll the dough onto lightly floured work surface.
  • Roll dough into 12x14-inch rectangle.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut dough lengthwise into 4 even strips.
  • Along long edge of each dough strip, spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
  • Stretch dough over filling; brush edges with water, and pinch to seal.
  • Pick up ends and gently stretch each dough rope to 24 inches long.
  • To make pretzel shape, form each rope into U shape. Twist ends twice.
  • Press down dough where dough overlaps in an “X.”
  • Pick ends up and fold over so they rest over bottom of U shape. Tuck one end under dough at bottom of U shape; other end lies over dough at bottom of U shape.
  • In small bowl, beat egg and 1 tablespoon beer with whisk until blended, set aside.
  • In large microwavable bowl, microwave remaining beer uncovered on High for 1 minute 30 seconds or until hot.
  • Slowly add baking soda; stir until dissolved.
  • Dip each pretzel, 1 at a time, into the beer and soda mixture.
  • Remove with large pancake turner or slotted spoon; place on a rack.
  • Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes.
  • Brush pretzels with egg mixture, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Carefully transfer to cookie sheet.
  • Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until tops of pretzels are golden brown.

What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This is what I’m thinking (and sometimes saying out loud) every time I pass my dining room window and see my lilac tree bursting forth. I should probably just go full Paul Revere and ring a bell while I shout the news for all to hear. I’m sure my family would love that!

Lilac season is so bittersweet because it’s over way too soon but, fortunately, I’ve figured out how to capture the deliciousness of the fragrance by making my own lilac scented room spray. It’s SO simple!

Directions: Fill spray bottle with 50/50 ratio of water to vodka.

Add 12 drops of lilac oil. Give it a shake, spray and if the scent isn’t strong enough, simply add a few more drops of lilac oil.

This sweet little project was first featured in my book Life in Season and is definitely one of my favorites.

Have the lilacs started blooming where you live?

One of the greatest joys of this stage in my parenting journey is getting to see the results of the years spent pouring into my children. The worry, the sleepless nights, praying, questioning our decisions and learning to trust in the Lord Who loves them even more than we do. We definitely didn’t do everything right, but what an an amazing experience it is to watch them become these incredible teens/young adults. My tip this week might seem simple, but I believe it can make a major difference in the lives of our children, in our homes and maybe, just maybe, in the culture too. 🌸
It was the most glorious day to celebrate my best It was the most glorious day to celebrate my best friend! Oregon came through with perfect weather for my wonderful husband’s birthday and we made the most of it by taking the convertible to our favorite winery and soaking up the sunshine, yummy food and wine. Then we had a lovely time celebrating with family at our home. Robb is truly the most amazing husband and father and all around incredible man. He loves and leads us well so it’s such a joy to get to honor him on his special day. 🎂
