Those brownies look amazing! Yum! It’s so wonderful to see the baking Friday tradition carry on over the years as the younger generation come into the kitchen. A whole new team of super-stirrers :))
It’s nice keeping those routines that we love. Now that I have all my kitchen set up, I can do some baking too! I bought my gluten free flours and am going to bake rose and pistachio biscottii :))
Love to you all xx

Hi Chris and Holly Looks like another successful baking Friday adventure. Everyone looks like they are having a ton of fun in the kitchen. Everything looks really good. I am making peanut butter chip cookies today. John has been out of dessert for most of the week and is complaining!!! I told him he could bake something and he just laughed!!! So glad that the buys are learning to cook. You should get credit for teaching them cooking as a subject of their school work!! Love that you have new upcoming cooks. You should be teaching cooking for a long time to come!! Hugs--John Debbie and Allie
