Soup, Bread Bowls, and a little Breakfast

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted!  Things have been crazy as graduation is nearing and I am trying to figure out what to do with my life!

I did want to share some recipes I tried with you though.  I've got a soup recipe, pretzel bread bowls, and a yummy breakfast recipe.

Cheddar Ale and Bratwurst Soup

One of my friends posted this recipe on Facebook and said she loved it, so I decided to give it a try.  Unfortunately I didn't love it as much as she did.  It was good, but there was just something a little bit off about it.  I will try it again someday and see what I think then, but for now, here's the link.  If you try it, let me know what you think!

Pretzel Bread Bowls

I love pretzels and I love all the pretzel breads that have been popping up everywhere.  (I am extremely sad that Wendy's Pretzel Bun Burger was only limited time because it was yummy!).  Since my last bread bowls turned out pretty well, I figured that I would give these a try.  The dough doesn't rise as much as regular bread dough so that threw me off a little.  I didn't think they were going to turn out at all, but they were actually quite yummy.  I wish I would have made them a little bigger, but overall I was pleased with the end result.

Here's the recipe for those

Breakfast Ring

A friend was coming over for dinner and I thought breakfast for dinner would be yummy, so I decided to try a recipe that I had pinned on Pinterest. (I have pinned so many things that I have never gotten the chance to try!)  So glad I tried the recipe because it was delicious!  The original recipe calls for bacon, but I used turkey sausage crumbles.  I also added some diced hashbrown potatoes that I had in the freezer.  My ring was a little full, but it was so good!  I had enough to make two, so I made one for dinner and another one the next morning for brunch!  We enjoyed it with fresh fruit, ambrosia salad, cinnamon rolls, and mimosas!  Fairly quick and easy, definitely delicious!

Here's the recipe link that I had pinned

Here's the link where she got the recipe idea from (it has more pictures of how to put it together)
