Family <3

I went out and visited my family for a couple days and here are a few pictures I have of our time together. We got to visit my Grannie who is 99 years old. I love her so much and every time I get out there I always want to see her. Zoe is usually scared (because my Grannie likes her room dark) and she usually cries and clings to me. But this time she was did great!!! 

I don't like this picture of me but I think its cute of Zoe and Grannie

Still not a good picture of me but I will always cherish this picture

My Aunt Debbie and Zoe. Zoe really warms up to Aunt Debbie very quickly. I love spending time with her.

After we left Grannie's we went out to lunch and Aunt Beckie (my sister) was sharing her sprite with Zoe . Zoe's nose would crinkle up every time. It was so funny and cute!

Country Sweet Calzone.......Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Doesn't this look so yummy????

My Sister Tracie got me addicted to Country sweet calzone's  from Avanti's years ago. And very time I came in to visit my family I always want to stop and get one. But that only happened twice. But the last time I came in for a visit. I went grocery shopping with my mom and found the sauce!!! I was so excited!!!! And my Walmart actually sells the sauce too!!! (that is amazing) So I taught I would give it a try and I did and it was amazing!!! My hubby even loved it!!! This makes two large calzones .This is what I did....

I made my calzone dough which is 

1 cup of water

3 cups of bread flour

2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tsp of salt

2 tsp of dry active yeast

And while that was stirring and rising in my bread machine. I cooked 4 chicken tenders all the way done.

When everything was done I cut the dough in half and rolled it out. And then I placed 1/4 of cup of the Country sweet sauce in the center of the dough and I spread it all around the dough 2 inches away from the edge. Then I cut up 2 chicken tenders and placed them all over in the sauce and then I put 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken tenders. And then I folded the dough over.  I also put a little olive oil on top with Italian seasonings and Parmesan cheese. And then I placed it on my cookie sheet stone and cooked in on 400 for 20 minutes. Make sure you have the sauce with you while your eating it. I love to dip my extra bread in the sauce...yummmmmmmmmm

Mommy's little helper!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe is watching everything we are doing and now she wants to do everything we do. Here are a couple things she loves to do. She thinks she is helping me but even though it takes longer to get things done. I love the look on her face that she gives me while she is "helping" me.

Crazy and Having so much fun!!!

We cant believe how big she is getting and how independent she wants to be. We have so much fun watching her grow .

 

 

 

A Braid Finally!!!

 

 

I forgot to share this!!! I can finally put a braid in Zoe's hair!!! I have been waiting soooooooooooo long for this moment. I love styling Zoe's hair. So even though She has very thin hair I can finally put a braid in at the top of her head. I know its not using all of her hair. But her hair is getting longer and we will be able to use all her hair in the braid in the near future!!!

 

 

 

The braid!!!
