Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken

​It's hard for me to believe but I have been a food blogger for nearly 2 1/2 years already!  I've learned a lot about the food blogging world since first starting this journey.  I really had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into when I wrote my very first blog back in 2011.

Writing my blog continues to be a source of joy in my life but that's not to say that there aren't moments that it stresses me out too.  Everything that is worth doing will cause some amount of aggravation and I think that's even truer for anything that involves a computer.  Despite the frustration that I feel sometimes, I still LOVE my job as a food blogger.

When I sit down to write a blog I don't usually have a target audience in mind.  I tend to believe that my blog will only reach anyone my immediate circle: my mom, my brother, my close friends.  After 2 1/2 years, you would think that it wouldn't take me by COMPLETE surprise when I get a comment or an email from someone who finds my blog by chance.  

I am even more astounded when I get an email from another website or food blogger that has visited my blog.  My recipes have recently been featured on Foodista.com, mytaste.com and EasyItalianRecipes.org.  That is astounding to me because I never contacted any of these websites, they actually found me!

I am honored to be a part of the food blogging world and to know that there are actually people out there who are reading my blog and making my recipes.  Who would have guessed that I would ever have become a food blogger?  Not me, but I wouldn't trade it for any other job.  

People ask me all the time how long I am going to continue to publish my food blog and the answer I usually give them is; "When I run out of recipes, I'll know it's time to quit."  With the access to unlimited recipes on the internet these days, I don't know if I'll ever actually RUN OUT of new recipes to try.  I found this recipe for Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken on www.cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com.

In a food processor pulse the pretzels until coarsely ground (small crumbs with some small pretzel pieces) then add them to a medium bowl and mix with the panko crumbs.
