Okay, is it browned butter or brown butter? I see it used differently all the time and really have no clue which is correct. In my head I think, “well the butter is browned so it should be called browned butter ____ ” ( for whatever it is you’ve made) right? Does it even matter? Whether it’s browned or brown,…
Brownies & Bars
Coconut Cream Pie Bars
I always go for the cream pies on Thanksgiving. I grew up with my Grandma making all sorts of cream pies so I’d take a slice of each and wouldn’t even touch the pumpkin pie. As much as I love pumpkin, it’s just not my favorite pie. Coconut Cream Pie isn’t typically my favorite cream…
Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Butterfinger Frosting
My stomach was in knots all night last night anticipating the results of the election. Did anyone else eat their nerves in chocolate while glued to the television? Today, I’m on damage control…..carrots and celery for me (pffff!). I’ve had more than my fair share of chocolate and it’s only Wednesday. My…
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies with Homemade Chocolate Whipped Cream
Some of our best friends just moved away to Michigan. They are like family to us and I swear Owen would live with them if he could {at least for a few days}. We helped them load their stuff into the moving truck the night before they left and when it was time so say…
Crack Brownies
I had one request for Mother’s Day yesterday. These Crack Brownies. Brett had every intention of making them for me, but I got impatient and made them Friday night. Half of the pan was gone by Sunday! Oopsie. I first saw this brownies over at Pip & Ebby and have just been dying to try them! …

On Tuesday night we drove to Denver, Colorado to spend Christmas with my husband’s family. We woke up this morning to about seven inches of snow! There are a few last minute things I need to do to get ready for Christmas, but today, is gonna have to be a snow day. Speaking…
Pumpkin-Oreo Cheesecake Bars
Pumpkin. Oreos. Cheesecake. The three are kinda made for each other. Don’t ya think? It rained this week, and then it snowed (SNOW! Really?) And then it rained some more. It was dark and gloomy and cold for three days straight. I think I wore the same pair of sweats three days in…
Easiest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars Ever
I’m on the road today. We’re heading to Aspen, Colorado for the weekend to attend a wedding. I’ve never actually been to Aspen so I’m a teensy bit excited to spend some time there….and maybe see a celebrity or two vacationing there as well. Hopefully, I’ve got my nose in the book The Help because…
Sinfully Rich Brownies (shhh…from a box mix)
I have no problems using box mixes. There, I said it. They are my go to when I need a quick dessert. Or when my intended dessert fails miserably and I need something FAST! Like recently, when I spent two hours making cookies that sadly only made it to the garbage can. All two dozen…
Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
I thought I’d share these quick and easy Chocolate Cheesecake Bars before we take off for Lake Powell. I’ll be gone for a week! These are very similar to my Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars, I just used a chocolate cake mix rather than a carrot cake mix. And they are topped with semi-sweet chocolate…
