A Day at King Arthur's

I have always loved

B a k i n g

 with ingredients.

In her own way, my grandmother taught me that it was an art.

She rarely used measuring tools.

Pretty teacups and wooden spoons were her guides.

I loved baking with her...and we baked often!

Visiting King Arthur Flour Bakers' Store in Norwich, Vermont
this weekend

was such a treat for me!
I've used their flour for years and years!

Look at the different flours!

I picked up some pizza flour for me and for my father who LOVES to make his own homemade pizza.  My grandmother would have brought home a 25 lb. bag!

There were all kinds of baking tools available.

We bought their famous apple peeler!

With our apple trees ... this will be awesome!

{I'll let you know how well it works in the fall}

Turning the corner

...wow...

{it's blurry because I was jumping up and down LOL}

look at this!

{I wanted to take it all home}

{But, where would I store it!?!  I picked up lots of sprinkles though!}

I did take this home

 English Muffin Mix and Rings

as recommended by Misty @ Yellow Shoe Day.

Oh do visit her blog and read why she named it "Yellow Shoe Day."

I also bought several varieties of scone mixes.

I fall for the sampled items almost every time!

The cranberry-orange scones 

served up by Irene the baker were incredible!

the apricot sour-cream scones 

were highly recommended by another shopper.

I fell for that too :o)

{I made some Sunday morning for brunch!}

Here I am with Arthur.

The drive to Vermont from New York is so beautiful!

~ It was a day well spent ~

If you're heading to this part of Vermont

... do stop at King Arthur Flour Bake Shop...

A goal of mine is to eventually make it back there for one of their baking classes.

Rachael and I were talking about which ones we could take

and how we would get Amanda there too!

Here's an awesome video produced by the team at King Arthur Flour.

Dearest Friends and Family,

 ♥ 

Have a beautiful week!

Let us all keep our eyes and hearts open to all the gifts

our Heavenly Father blesses us with each and every day.

You are all precious gifts to me!
