Ranch Pretzels

These ranch pretzels are so easy and great to snack on! Perfect for a New Years Party! I am not really a ranch fan, but I love these. I got this recipe from a church activity.

3 oz. Orville Redenbacker Oil
1 dry pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
24 oz. small round pretzels

Pour over pretzels. Stir Often

Christmas Tables

I couple of week ago, I went to a Relief Society Christmas Dinner. Different women decorated each table. I was seated at this darling table decorated by Lisa. It was seriously amazing! And I loved the non-traditional colors. Here is a look at her table and all the others. It was so fun to see all the cute designs. Great job ladies.
