Hi Catherine...
For dinner tonight I made Corn Flake roasted chicken, lol...If I would have had pretzels in the house I would have been so upset right about now but, I don't, lol...I'm going to get me some though. The chicken this way must be oh so yummy!
Thanks so much for sharing, Catherine and thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. You are in my thoughts today too...
