Happy Mother’s Day! This weekend, I traveled back home to hang out with my mom on her big day, so naturally I had to bake something for her.

This past Thursday was Report Card Night at school, which means that we had a half day before having to come back to meet with parents in the evening.

Two of us got there a little early and were starving, so we ordered an appetizer of pretzel bites while we waited for our friends to arrive.
