Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days.

Happy Thursday W+A friends! Tonight we are headed to the city for a tasting and of course New York is still holding on to that winter weather. We were teased with a few nice days last week, which gave us a taste of spring time weather. This week we wanted to use up some of our frozen three ingredient dough. Now that we've tested it out on bagels and pizzas, garlic knots were the next obvious choice. These were so easy to make and we paired them with some zucchini noodles and sauce. They are also a great lunchtime snack, toasted up in the morning with some butter or can be enjoyed with a big salad or soup. Here is everything you'll need to make these garlicky guys:  Ingredients  1 c of self rising flour  1 c of plain nonfat Greek yogurt (drained)  3/4 tsp of salt  2 tsp of baking powder  1 tbsp of olive oil  1 tbsp of butter  2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped) 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp of fresh or dry parsley (chopped) Directions   Preheat
