Brownie Bites

These are actually called “Crinkle Cookies” but I think they tasted like Brownie Bites to me. Recipe from Carla Hall of “The Chew,” which is in my opinion a quite dreadful name for a cooking show. I’ll let you have this one straight, since I pretty much followed this recipe as written. 4 tablespoons Butter

Puddle Cake

I made a delicious chocolate-chip bundt cake topped with chocolate ganache. Unfortunately, it did not resemble the lovely picture on the ganache recipe. (I know. A real shocker, right?) Still, it tasted GREAT and had a surprise ingredient! Wait until you see what that was! (Hint: the recipe for the sauce came from Kikkoman…)

Dodged that one! SCORE!

We went to the fall festival at the elementary school over the weekend. <<< Here’s Little Boy playing “product placement” at the fair. After this event last year, I got stuck with a couple of goldfish. (Read that story here if you’re interested.) I wasn’t about to let that happen again this year. The twins

I didn’t do it.

They put the tape over their own mouths. I swear.

Peanut Butter Cheese Ball

I pinned three different versions of this recipe over the course of the last six months. I guess I like peanut butter and chocolate, huh? Anyways, when I finally made it for my book club, this was delicious. I thought it might have been better as a cheesecake or brownie than as a cheese ball.

I read a scary book

I realize this doesn’t look like a scary book. But that’s because it’s specifically designed to frighten ME personally. (The book is Calling Invisible Women by Jeanne Ray.) In this story the protagonist, a doctor’s wife and mother of nearly-grown children, suddenly turns invisible. And no one in her family notices.  As long as they
