Dill Pretzels

40 oz pretzels
12 oz Orville Redenbacher's popcorn oil
1 oz Hidden Valley Ranch Powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp dill weed

Mix the oil, ranch powder, garlic powder, and dill weed together in a bowl.
Put pretzels in a bag.
Pour the oil mixture in bag and mix together well, store in a cool place.

Note - they seem to get better if you let them sit for a day or two before eating, the pretzels absorb the oil slowly.

Alabama Chicken Salad

Another simple, yet delicious recipe from my good friend Beth (the only modification is that I add celery). Served on honey wheat bread...to.die.for.

4-6 chicken breasts boiled (I add celery, onion, salt and Watkins chicken seasoning to the water)
1/2 cup broth from chicken
3/4 cup mayo or more if too dry
a few big squirts of honey
a few big squirts of bold and spicy mustard
1 Tsp Watkins organic parsley
1 Tsp Watkins organic basil
lots of salt and cracked pepper
handful pecans chopped
bunch of grapes sliced
