Pepper Garlie Spicy Mayonnaise

My own personal recipe... :) i just whipped up quick for some chicken nuggets i threw in the oven... Of course this was for a serve of 9 nuggets the recipe can be expanded to suit your tastes and serving needs.

I used about 1/2 table spoon Garlic Pepper seasoning
1/2 tablespoon of Chipotle seasoning
A few tiny squeezes of Grey Pu Pon Deli Mustard with Horseradish
and about three good squirts of Helmans mayo....

I think it's better than BB Sauce.

A Great Trick For Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Its such a pain in the butt dipping pretzels in chocolate etc. SO I found this thing in Martha Stewart and shes right, it tastes better and is so easy.

Lay your pretzels.. (I like the flufy soft pretzels) on a backing sheet, and put a hersheys kiss or hugs (white chocolate and reg) on top of the pretzel and in the center. Put them in the oven for like 10 minutes on 200 degrees. JUST engough to make them soft, not melted. Then take an m&m and sit ontop of the kiss and press it down. the chocolate kiss spreads all over the pretzel and the m&m is cute! They taste so much better than the baking chocolate. TRY IT! SO easy!!

Makes about 64
3 6-ounce packages white chocolate baking squares
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Welcome Foodies

Well, it seems the blog I started with is giving me problems and I can't access the site. I know it may be just for the night but if this happens often then I figure I need a new place to blog. so welcome to The finicky Foody. This blog is going to be dedicated to the love of food and be place where people can come to view recipes and reviews on food & food products. I know there are probably a load of sites like mine but I am certain mine will hold up. I love the way food connects cultures, brings families together and teach people through the roles that food have played through history.
