{Baking} COCOA BERRY DESSERT BROWNIES … with Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, Cocoa and Berry Mix
There’s more to life than chocolate, but not right now. Anonymous THUD! It was that all too familiar noise of the postie chucking a parcel over the gate again. While I braced myself for probable disaster & broken bits of parcel, the son raced out yelling, “Mama, must be something for your blog!” Excitement writ on his face, the expectation of a new foodie flavour or recipe lighting up his life, he does enjoy the little joys of my blogging. A foodie through and through, he was spot on! Came in waving a brown floppy parcel, his eyes searching my face for a ‘go ahead’ to get to the contents!…

OLIVE OIL BROWNIES with ROASTED ALMONDS…Mmmmm delicious!
“Chocolate is the only aroma-therapy I need.” Jasmine Heiler There was nothing for the kids school snack box, so I thought I’d do a batch of sandwiches. Of course, the teen vetoed my idea & looked decidedly deadpan at the very suggestion. Why do I bother asking? That set me thinking. Rummaging through my blog, I decided to make a batch of these olive oil brownies for them the next morning. Lined everything up on the counter, roasted the almonds, & wound up for the night. Was up early the next morning, as sleep abandoned me for some insane reason, & hit the kitchen. These brownies are a breeze to…

BLONDIES OVER BROWNIES? YES! GIVE THESE A CHANCE!!
“The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.”John Walters I bookmarked an interesting blondie or ‘brown sugar brownies’ recipe the other day. The source was the ever impressive Epicurean Escapism…she’s got a virtual treasure on her blog & never ceases to amaze me with her new posts. These got me the minute I saw them…for 2 reasons. First because they didn’t have a chocolate overdose, which is good for a change; & secondly because they used oil instead of butter. Got down to making them pretty soon, & was very impressed with the result. My only change was adding chopped walnuts because I love nuts. &…

“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” La Rochefoucauld Pistachio Olive Oil Brownies…the healthy choice & TRUE!! I made these yummy brownies & I made them with olive oil!!

CHOCOLATE ALWAYS MAKES THINGS BETTER…’BETTER CAKE THAN CREAM BROWNIES’
“Any food not fit to wear is not fit to eat.”Jim Rosenthal ‘Better Cake than Cream Brownies’…Chocolate Overdose Diva @ Sugar Bar is hosting this intriguing event “Beauty & the Feast”. The challenge is to pick a cosmetic/beauty/body-hand-skincare,etc. product that has either a name that is food-related or has food-related ingredients. Use the combination of flavours of the product as best as you can& give it any funky name you like. I picked Cocoa Butter Body Butter…a Body Shop product which is full of ‘brownies in another form’!! Picture courtesy Body Shop, UK“Doubly rich for extra dry skin with a yummy chocolate-and-vanilla scent. An excellent moisturizer that melts at body…

MARCHing on to SUGAR HIGH FRIDAYS…SWEET GIFT BROWNIES!
“A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.” Seneca A gift of love…Brownies in a box! This is a box of brownies that I baked for a dear old lady who lives nearby. She is about 78 years old & makes sure she stops by to say ‘Good Morning’ to me at the childrens‘ bus stop every single morning! Two days without a meeting, & she comes by our place to catch up with me! She is a warm, wonderful person, so positive & so full of life, that one wonders why we crib about silly little things! Always…
