This morning, we had a sweet new spirited spring day, rising and shining, with sunshine hope :) this is the time of the year, when we cheer for the sun to shine, and to bring that spring warmth, for the plants, and nature surrounding :) It was a really sweet morning :) i wished Kayla and Taylynn and our family a happy baking friday, and i love to share your lovely happy baking friday wishes with my family :) Thank you everyone, so very much! :) i began my day with a nice nature walk :) there's just something so sweet, and inviting about the nature, when the sun is rising up, and the blue sky shining. :) i put lots of goodies, all around our yard, for our nature animal friends :) They always enjoy their baking friday breakfast feasts :)
i was outside in our backyard, and was watching some of the birds, Mr. Nut Squirrel, and guess who i saw? Mr. BUZZ THE BUMBLE BEE!!! :) awww! : )During sunrise hour! :) Buzz was buzzing over by our temperature gage, almost as if the Bee was seeing what the temperature was, and then flew off into the yard :) i thought about how incredible it is, Spring time nature, and it's here, and blossoming beautifully :) the bumble bees are becoming BUZZY BUSY BEES, as the flowers are blossoming, and our fruit trees are getting ready to blossom :) It's like a whole new world out there, with the nature :) it's truly amazing, and incredible :) i love it! :) i checked in on our plants this morning, they continue to flourish nicely :) We have 3 tulips, hyacinth's, and a wave of happy golden daffodils blossoming :)
Around mid-morning, i began to gather baking friday supplies, and decorations, and ventured out into our kitchen, to begin setting up, and decorating our kitchen for our super fun adventure :) i brought some of our new lovely decorative treasures into our kitchen today, including my nice new sunflower coasters :) Spring spirited decorating : )We have a very special shoutout, and thank you, for my dear, and lovely mom, and dad :) They went shopping today, and picked up baking friday supplies :) it's so nice, and sweet of them :) we all love to chip in each week to get baking friday supplies :) Thank you mom and dad, so very much! :) i cooked a nice lunch, brewed a vanilla iced coffee, and went back outside for a nice mid-day nature walk :) i heard buzz the bumble bee buzzing around our garden :) it sure is wonderful to see all of the nature, to feel it in my heart, seeing the nature blossoming all around, it's incredible! : )during the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on ds, writing to friends :)
Around 3pm, i began to go back out into our kitchen to put the finishing touches on our kitchen preparations :) my mom was doing some cooking for my dad, i washed a casserole dish, and also washed our pizza baking pan :) Kayla and Taylynn arrived home shortly after 3pm, and Jenn and Mikey came over :) we were all hanging out, and getting ready to bake :) Some weeks, Taylynn likes to have some snacks, and watches tv, or plays outside, after school, but we always mention to her, she's welcome to come out into the kitchen if she wants to join in on the adventure :)
Each week, we love to use our nice baking friday supplies :) over the years, my family and i have recieved many wonderful aprons, oven mits, kitchen towels, and hot mats, that we love to use, for our baking friday adventures :) These nice supplies, are always a very special part of baking friday :) i texted friends throughout the course of the day, to wish them a happy baking friday :) Thank you everyone, so very much, for the nice texts :) our kitchen was all set, and ready, and we were all ready to begin to get the flour flying in the air in the kitchen :) Calling all cookie monsters! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :)
We began our super fun adventure! :) We first began by preparing the pizza calzones :) Kayla and i have been teaching Mikey a lot about baking :) he also learns a lot, from Jenn and Mike, as he helps them bake :) we've been teaching Mikey, about the pizza dough, how to put flour down on the counter, so that the pizza dough can be rolled :) Mikey's very proud, and loves to help out with baking friday :) we began to get the FLOUR flying in the air in the kitchen! :) hehe! :) We love to clap the flour in the air :) it's part of the baking friday fun! :)
We were rolling the pizza dough, into a nice big round dough :) i then used a knife, to cut the dough in half :) Kayla and Mikey, and i each got the pizza sauce, and cheese, we began to spread some pizza sauce on half ot he dough, and then tried some of the mozzarella cheese :) Delicious! :) yum! :) We were sprinkling the cheese on the sauce, and Kayla and i then showed Mikey, how we fold over the dough, to make the pizza calzones :) he was so happy, and he loves to learn :) i said, "Mikey, you're in charge of the next step" :) he was spreading butter on the pizza pan :) he did great! :) Kayla and i love to encourage Mikey, and he's so proud, and smiles: ) We love sharing smiles in the kitchen :)
We used a spatula, to put the pizza calzones on the baking pan :) i then melted some butter, and we sprinkled the butter on the pizza calzones :) i then put the calzones into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) i sure was getting hungry! :) i love pizza calzones! :) We did some cleaning up in the kitchen, and swept the flour on the floor :) it was then time, to prepare the rice krispies treats :) an all-time favorite treat :)
i got a cooking pot, and Mikey put a stick of butter into the cooking pan, i then put the cooking pot on the stove, the butter was melting nicely :) once the butter had melted, Kayla poured the marshmallows into the cooking pot, and i used a huge spoon to stir the marshmallows :) Earlier, Mikey had enjoyed a couple marshmallows, a nice treat :) Kayla and Mikey got the rice krispies ready, we needed 6 cups of rice krispies :) once the marshmallows were all melted, we began to put the rice krispies into the marshmallows, i used the huge spoon to stir and stir :) i had a nice casserole dish all prepared, with butter inside the dish, and i then poured the rice krispies/marshmallows into the dish :) we smoothed out the rice krispies treats :) they came out great! :)
The Pizza calzones had finished baking, we were checking in on them from time to time :) the calzones baked so nicely, with a buttery golden crust, delicious! :) i couldn't wait to slice the calzone, to enjoy some :) i took pictures of the treats, and tidy up the kitchen a bit. :) We were showing everyone the goodies, the treats came out so nice :)i had a small slice of calzone with some of the extra pizza sauce, awesome!!! :) Kayla had a rice krispies treat, and i had one too : )they are nice buttery! :) i thanked Kayla and Mikey for helping bake goodies :) We had so much fun, and we have many more super fun Spring time baking friday adventures planned, including our annual campfire themed baking friday adventure :) We have a very special shoutout, to family and friends :) We love to hear about the nice foods, and goodies you all are baking ,and cooking throughout the week :) We're always with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) this is so much fun, and very special :) many great memories being made, to always cherish and treasure :) baking friday! :) We love it!!! :) Pizza Calzones, and Rice Krispies Treats, dedicated to our wonderful family and friends :) We love you all so very very much! :) April 25th, 2014 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)

Ahhh... Another BAKING FRIDAY with the BAKING BABES & JUNIOR BAKER MIKEY TOO!!! Your calzones look so yummy!!! I would like to make some myself... And who can beat RICE KRISPIE TREATS??? YUM & CLASSIC!!! NICE!!!

I also had pizza for dinner but it was a frozen one... I also threw together a salad, but after not sleeping, it was an easy night! Next I\'ll make egg rolls to bake and more bean burgers. I\'d like to do those soon so I have some meals in the freezer. Oh and white chili! I\'m trying to think of things I can make and freezer for summertime dinners when I\'ve been outside all day...

I also ran to town for a few things, but mostly to get off the farm for a while. I let the pupz run for a couple hours this morning, but when all were in at 9 a.m., I was getting while the getting was good! Easier on a rainy day like today to be sure. Made a few stops in town, then home for in/out/pup dinner/my dinner and Ellen... Quick chat with Mary then shower and jammers for me!!!

Love to you and everybody in CT!!! Have a wonderful weekenc in all that you do!!! And thank you for the beautiful card, Chris... I LOVE the cards you find!!! xoxoxo Cj

Hello Chris....Another flour flying Baking Friday day of fun and good food to eat!
I have never had a rice krispie treat...they look so good.
Your weekend of shopping and gardening sounds good too. Hope you find some good treasures when shopping. Today I walked for 45 minutes! Came home and made me a burrito. Yum. That is so cool about getting an action figurine with The Walking Dead! very very cool. Who is your favorite character? I have a few Rick, Michonne, Daryl and Carol. Its is a very intense show,I agree with you but Good. Can\'t wait for the new season. Last season shows were really intense. Its like Breaking Bad,,...each season is better than the last. Have you watched Breaking Bad? Its a dark show but good. I got into watching it when I got into watching The Walking Dead. It use to follow it on Sunday nights I believe. That is too bad about OneTrueMedia closing down,but YouTube is good,I think you will enjoy it. I felt awful when The Soap Opera Channel stopped/closed. Was one of my favorite channels. Also use to watch this game show called Supermarket Sweep! Miss that show as well. Oh well. Enjoy your evening and get a good night sleeps. Hope your feeling better with each new day friend . Love/Blessings/Greenies
