Breadsticks

I guess technically this is not a new recipe.  I have been using it for years and it's one of my favorites.  Sometimes we just have these for dinner with pizza sauce and some green beans and a bottle of peaches, my kids' favorite meal hands down.  Obviously they are also great as a side dish.  Pair them with soups or pasta and enjoy.  Let me know if you like them.
