The winter winds have this howling sound to them especially during winter time, it's like the trees are making a whistling sound from the winds. i gathered a nice bowl of goodies,and went outside briefly for my nature walk :) i put goodies in our backyard, for our nature friends :) they love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) awww! :) We love to take good care of our nature friends, making sure they have plenty of goodies to enjoy, during these cold winter days. We're looking forward to a warm up in the weather on sunday :)

It was a nice peaceful early morning :) We enjoyed our breakfast, and having some hot tea,water,and sprite soda :) i love adding peppermint candies into my hot tea :) Holly and i are gonna stock up on some more candy tomorrow at the dollar tree :) we love the red bird brand peppermint candies,they're awesome :) i began to gather our baking friday supplies,and Valentine's day decorations,and went out into our kitchen to begin setting up and decorating our kitchen for our super fun adventure :) i decorated our kitchen with a nice Valentine's day theme :) our kitchen looked awesome all set up and decorated :) it's fun decoroating :) As the morning went on, we put the sports radio on :) The radio's been really good this week :) We're counting down to the big superbowl 57 on February 12th and looking forward to celebrating with everyone :) only 9 more days until the big game! :) We look forward to baking a superbowl themed cake next week, and stocking up on foods, snacks, and drinks,for the big game :) Around mid-day, we enjoyed a nice lunch,and during the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on DS,writing to friends :) i also made a nice batch of onion pretzel dough :) i like to make the dough early,so that the dough rises :)

We began our super fun adventure! :) baking friday teamwork! :) We first began to prepare the heart shaped cookies :) the kids love to help! :) They're great helpers :) we began to add the ingredients into the bowl :) The kids love to each have ingredients into the bowl :) We got the flour flying in the air in the kitchen today :) Brody cracked open egg :) he loves to show us how he cracks open the egg with 1 hand! :) Alyssa taught him :) my mom and Jenn came out into the kitchen at times ,and you all were right there with us in spirit :)We added extra melted butter into the cookie dough, as we love extra buttery sugar cookies :) We super stirred the cookie dough, and then got some plates, we put flour onto the plants, and of course some flour flying in the air in the kitchen! :) it's a cool baking friday tradition! :) we then made the sugar cookie dough into heart shapes with cookie cutters :) We love our cookie cutters collection :)

i used butter to grease the baking pan, and we began to add the cookies onto the pan, and i then put the first batch of cookies into the oven to bake :) As the cookies were baking ,we prepared the onion pretzels :) the pretzel dough rised nicely as the afternoon went on :) the pretzels are very popular,we got a special request from everyone to make more onion pretzels :) i cut the pretzel dough , and we made the dough into the shapes of pretzels :) i got some water heating up in the cooking pot on the stove, and put 2 pretzels into the hot water :) i used butter to grease the baking pan, and a metal spatula to put the pretzels onto the pan :) in our measuring cup, we melted butter,and added in the dried onion flakes, and drizzled the butter and onion flakes onto the pretzels,and i put the first batch of pretzels into the oven to bake :)

The kids were going back and forth, from the kitchen and living room :) we did some cleaning up in the kitchen :) The first batch of cookies finished baking ,i brought the cookies out of the oven to cool down, and then put another bafch of cookies, and 4 more pretzels into the oven to bake :) Hunter made the pink colored frosting :) he was so proud ,to add the red food coloring, and we stirred the frosting, the pink color came out great :) we got ready to decorate the heart shaped sugar cookies :) We spread the frosting onto the cookies, the cookies came out great :) the pretzels finished baking, and also the 2nd batch of cookies :) once the cookies cooled down a bit, we spread more frosting onto the cookies :) i took some pictures of the goodies, and we all began to dig in :)

The cookies and pretzels came out great! :) we're loving our winter time baking friday's, and so much more to look forward too :) i thanked the kids, and Holly for helping bake :) We love these very special, super fun times :) we had so much fun baking the goodies, and are looking forward to our annual Superbowl themed baking friday adventure next week :) There's many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too :) A very special shoutout for family and friends :) Lots of great baking, and cooking this week :) We love hearing about the goodies, and foods you all bake, and cook :)We're all with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) This is so much fun and very special :) i wish we all could gather and have a big baking friday picnic :) Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Sugar Cookies,and Onion Pretzels, dedicated to our wonderful family,friends, and to the wonderful 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!!! :) February 3rd, 2023 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)
