baking friday :) Onion Garlic Cheese Breadstick :) a stormy day, we're thinking of everyone <3

Happy baking friday!!! :) Sending our love, prayers, well wishes, and our most warmest friendship hugs, hoping, and praying everyone is doing ok, keeping warm, and safe, as this very severe nor'easter passes through. We're thinking of everyone, and are with you all, our dear angel friends :) BIG GROUP WARM COMFORTING FRIENDSHIP HUG :) we baked today, and we still have power here at our home this early evening. it's been flickering at times, and the winds are fierce out there. We're all doing ok, keeping warm, and safe here at home. There's trees down around our city, and area. Jenn and family are without power, due to the storm. We're all keeping eachother updated, and are riding out the storm at home.


It's a very stormy day! Thank you angel friends, for all of your wonderful prayers, well wishes, and for checking in on us all :) We appreciate everything. my family, Holly, and i hope and pray, that everyone is doing alright, and safe and keeping warm. this has been a very massive nor'easter storm that is impacting many states and areas. it began to heavily rain and get windy this morning. we've had some very scary winds out there. our lights flickering this afternoon, our power went out twice, but came back thankfully. the fire department has been going out a lot today. my dad saw some big trees down up the road from us. This afternoon, Jenn and family lost power. they are at home, and are ok. Holly's also been recieving this severe storm there, and saw trees, and branches down, including a huge tree down where she lives. We're all riding out the storm, and thinking of everyone. it's very cold, and hard raining. the rain was so hard earlier, it was hitting my window and sounded like pebbles due to the winds. We're all doing alright, and hanging in there. it's been a very eventful day. We've been thinking of everyone, being impacted by this storm, and praying for everyone's safety, and comfort. it's expected to remain windy overnight, into tomorrow. We're going about the day as normal as can be. earlier, the schools notified parents here in our city, that they were closing a bit earlier, due to the severe weather. we've had some snowflakes amongst the rain. it's a very fierce storm, it kinda reminds us of hurricane irene and hurricane sandy. very bad winds, and it has been continuously windy all day. We're all hanging i nthere, and looking forward to the storm easing.


This morning, we had a new day blossoming, but knew it was gonna be a very stormy day. the winds and rain picking up early this morning, surprised us. we thought it may arrive later on today, but really began to pick up early. i went out very briefly this morning, to put some treats in our backyard, for our nature friends, and came back indoors. :) schools were opened, and the kids all went to school :) i love to wish my family and friends a happy baking friday, and i love sharing your special and sweet happy baking friday wishes with my family :) Thank you angel friends, so very much! :) You all are so nice, and sweet :)


It was a nice morning, as we were going about the day as normal as can be :) my mom and dad went out to walmart, they had some items they needed to pick up :) we had our baking friday supplies set :) i began to set up and decorate our kitchen for baking friday :) i love decorating it, it's one of my favorite baking friday traditions :) even with the stormy weather, i'm still thinking spring time, and put a few spring themed decorations in the kitchens :) our kitchen looked great :) i prepared a nice lunch :) my mom and dad came home from the store :) they brought me a nice blueberry iced coffee :) it's very nice, and sweet of them :)


Around 12pm, it was getting worse winds outside, the winds were really picking up. i did get a chance to spend some time with Holly on the phone, and some time here on ds, writing to friends :) the fire sirent was going off, and we heard lots of activity out there, including ambulances, and fire trucks. my dad was out a bit, he got some activity with his uber driving, and he saw some huge trees down in our area, and city, including a tree across the road, up on new London, turnpike. Holly and i were on the phone earlier, she heard a loud boom, and it was a tree outside, off into the distance, a tree fell into the woods area where Holly lives. she's in Maryland, and they too are recieving this massive nor'easter. she had to go out today to her appt, and shopped, and when she was outside, you could hear the wind, through the phone. i kept checking through our back window in our house, looking at our trees, in our backyard, as my mom and i heard some loud booms this afternoon, but thankfully none of our trees have fallen.


Shortly before 3pm, we found out, Jenn and family lost power at their home in their area. we also know our DS friends Stacy (Sunflower10) and her boyfriend Ron lost power where they live in our city. We're so hopeful, everyone's power will be fully restored, and back on very soon. it's cold outside. Jenn notified my mom, that she, Mike, Mikey, and Hunter were gonna be staying at home this afternoon. Schools here in our area, notified parents they were gonna be closing earlier than normal, due to the severe weather. Alyssa picked up Taylynn and the triplets, and came here :) We had planned to bake some spongebob themed cookies, for thre kids, but with Hunter and Mikey not here, we wanted to wait until they get to bake with us, to bake the cookies :) Earlier in the week, Hunter saw the cookies mix, and he really wanted to help bake the cookies :) awww! :) We decided to wait until next week, to bake the spongebob cookies :) We'll even look for a 2nd box of the cookies at the dollar tree tomorrow :)


Kayla, Jacob, and i baked some nice garlic onion cheese breadsticks this afternoon :) We got our picture taken in the kitchen :) Earlier, i had prepared the dough, so that it would rise and be ready for baking :) each week, we love to use our nice baking friday supplies, we've recieved from family and friends, over the years :) we love our nice aprons, oven mits, kitchen towels, and all of our baking friday supplies :) These special supplies are always a big part of our baking, and cooking each week :) it was about 3:30pm, and we were all set, and ready to bake :)calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite!!! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :)


We began our fun adventure :) Mikey and Hunter were with us in spirit, and you all are always right there with us in spirit too, our dear angel friends :) Kayla, Jacob, and i began to get the baking pan ready :) Jacob was using butter to grease the pan, Kayla and i were showing him how too :) we're so proud of the kids, and all that they are learning about baking and cooking :) They're great helpers, and love to help :) Brayden, and Colby were in the living room, they love to play their video games, and they watch videos too :) we were preparing the breadsticks :) it's a really nice easy dough recipe i used :) 1 cup of water, 1 packet of yeast, plus salt,dried onion flakes, and garlic powder, and adding in the flower until it's a nice dough, perfect for breadsticks :)


We put the dough on the baking pan, and Jacob used the dough roller, to roll the dough :) We then added some nice mozzarella cheese, and melted butter on top of the cheese and dough, and i then put the breadsticks into the oven to bake! :) We were hearing some bad winds outside, my dad arrived home safely :) he was telling us about his adventure out there today, seeing all kinds of trees, branches down around our area and city. we're so glad, and thankful he arrived home safely. the cheese breadsticks baked nicely for about 15 minutes :) i then brought them out of the oven, and used a pizza slicer to slice the breadsticks :) the breadsticks came out great! : )Everyone is digging in : )We love breadsticks :)


We're so glad, we got a chance to bake today :) we've been doing our best today, with all that's been going on, with the storm. checking in on everyone, and making sure everyone is alright. We love baking friday, and sharing our adventures, and we have many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too :) i thanked Kayla and Jacob for helping bake :) a very special shoutout, for family and friends :) Lots of great baking, and cooking this week : )We love hearing about the nice goodies you all bake and cook :) We're with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) i wish we all could gather and have a big baking friday picnic :) Onion Garlic Cheese breadsticks, dedicated to our wonderful family, friends, and to the spirit of the season :) We love you all so very very much! :) many great memories made, to always cherish and treasure :) baking friday, we love it!!! :) March 2nd, 2018 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)

Those breadsticks look yum! Sorry to hear about your wild weather. I hope it calms down and you don't lose power. It's officially Autumn here now, and it's still hot as hades. Ugh. Sitting here under the airconditioning, Misty is upside down airing out her belly and getting cool! I had to go out earlier for some supplies, and it was so humid out there. I was dripping by the time I got home. We may have a storm later. Sending you all love and best wishes xxoo

sometimes you just have to go to plan B. I'm glad that everyone is okay, it is a pain to lose power. I hope they get their power back on soon. I loved the garlic breadsticks, Jacob looked like he had a great time baking. I want some breadsticks. I'm glad Holly is okay and didn't lose power.

Hi Chris John and I lost electric from this storm as well. It went out about 2:30 a.m. and we never got it back until 11:00 yesterday morning. The house was really getting chilly and the furnace ran for almost two hours to get it warmed back up. It is so nice that you are waiting until next week to bake the cookies. I didn't get my cookies made yesterday either. John and I got busy around the house and time just got away from me. So today I will bake them. Your breadsticks look really good. It looks like Jacob had a great time helping in the kitchen. I am glad that Holly didn't lose power and that you guys got through the storm all right. We had fierce winds even last evening yet but they weren't as bad as they were the night before. We have trees down everywhere as well and had one down on our road that they guys had to cut up before any of us could go to work yesterday morning. That was one fierce windstorm. We ended up with just a dusting of snow but the temperatures dropped like a rock and this morning it is only 28 degrees. Stay warm and have a great Saturday. I am going to do a journal to catch everyone up on what has been happening here. Love you--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
