See what an easy fast blog post. Sometimes I don't know what to write and this was an easy one. Wait... what? I get a lot of questions about how I get things done - like when do I have time to blog about what I bake, let alone bake things? Well... writing the crazy thoughts in my head is something I enjoy doing - I get to be sarcastic and tell stories. The baking and cooking part? Well, that just makes me feel sane. I love baking - it helps me feel like I can be successful at something. I used to have a job where I was beat down on a daily basis and made to feel worthless. Baking was something I knew I could do and be successful at. Cooking is fine - I enjoy trying new recipes, but baking is my jam. Most of the time I like planning out our meals for the week because I can tuck new recipes in there to try. I like signing up to bring dishes to various meetings or events we go to - then I can try yet something else that is new. Sometimes I think my family just wants the same boring "normal" stuff, like oatmeal raisin cookies and a casserole we all like. This week everything on our menu is boring and normal - but our kids love it all so that's worth the boring to me (and they are all easy meals which is nice too).
So yeah - these brownies - easy - even if you are making the brownie part from scratch - still easy and delicious. Made in a small pan - cut them in tiny squares they are rich but delicious. So very very delicious!
