We began our super fun adventure! :) baking friday teamwork! :) We first began to prepare the peanut butter cookies :) We got an egg, and were gathering all of the ingredients :) the kids love to help, they're great bakers, and learning so much about baking, and cooking :) the kids get so proud, when they add the ingredients, they all love to each have a job, with the ingredients :) from adding the flour, sugar, to the butter, and peanut butter :) we're so proud of the kids :) We added extra peanut butter to the cookies dough :) peanut butter cookies are my favorite :)

We were super stirring, and sharing lots of smiles :) my mom and Jenn came out into the kitchen :) You all were with us in spirit :) i used vegetable oil,to grease the cookie baking pan, and we put the cookies dough into the pan, and i then put the cookies into the oven to bake :) our kitchen smelled great, the scent of peanut butter :) as the cookies were baking, the kids were coming back and forth, from the kitchen to the living room :) Mikey came out to check in on the baking friday adventure fun too :) he and Taylynn have been enjoying playing the road blox, and minecraft games :) Hunter and the triplets like to watch cool youtube videos :) We began to get ready to bake the onion pretzels :)

Onion Pretzels are one of our favorite goodies to bake :) the dough rised nicely in the fridge :) i sliced the dough into portions, and got some water heating up on the stove, in a cooking pot :) we made the dough into the shapes of pretzels, and i put 2 pretzels at a time into the cooking pot :) i used the metal spatula to remove the pretzels from the water, once the pretzels got bigger :) the water boil helps the pretzels get bigger :) i used vegetable oil to grease the baking pan, and put the pretzels onto the pan :) we then, melted butter, and added onion flakes into the butter, and drizzled the butter/onion flakes onto the pretzels, and then put the pretzels into the oven to bake :)

The pretzels, and peanut butter cookies were baking nicely :) we did some cleaning up in the kitchen, and were hanging out :) lots of awesome spirit in the air :) The peanut butter cookie bars finished baking, and a short time later, the pretzels finished baking, the goodies came out great! :) once the cookies finished cooling down a bit, i sliced the cookies, took a picture, and we all then began to dig in :) Jenn and my mom had a pretzel, and my dad took a pretzel to work :) the goodies are awesome :) we had so much fun baking goodies today :) we love these special times :) i thanked Alyssa and the kids for helping bake :) We have many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too, as we get ready to welcome the month of September :) a very special shoutout, for family and friends :) lots of great baking, and cooking this week :) We love hearing about the nice goodies, and foods you all bake, and cook :) We're all with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) this is awesome!!! :) i wish we all could gather and have a big baking friday picnic :) Thank you everyone, for joining us in our kitchen each week, and for welcoming us into your kitchens :) Peanut Butter Cookies, and Onion Pretzels, dedicated to our wonderful family, friends, and to the awesome spirit of summer time! :) We love you all so very very much! : )many great memories made, to always cherish and treasure :) baking friday! :) we love it!!! :) August 23rd, 2019 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)
