A few years ago a girl told me about black bean brownies and I thought it sounded real cray. Like how can that be a thing?! But during my lil vegan phase after New Orleans I gave these a go. I loved them so much that I didn’t even share them! Instead I put them in the freezer and ate them at my leisure for days. These will help you believe in magic and dreams because…
Ok guys, let’s listen to this song and live our lives! I hope you all have had the best Valentine’s Day! Mine’s been weird-ish this year, but don’t worry, to me Sunday is the big day. I bought a new coral dress and will wear heart tights and plan on making a million mini foods and over-serving mimosas to my favorites. In the meantime, I totally made these twice last weekend. Once for my friend’s…
The lovely Bev is having twins! Soon! So, let’s just say, that when I heard about this virtual baby shower, I knew I wanted in. You see, Bev is just lovely! And funny! And yay, she’s having twins! It’s pretty major! I was perusing recipes when I spotted these brownies on her site. I knew turning them into an ice cream would be just the thing to kick the massive chocolate cravings going on. I’m…
I’m itching for a change. Part of it might be the winter blues. You see, I think I’m having bike ride withdrawal. I need patio beers, and grilled dinners. I’d like to walk to get ice cream, and wear maxi dresses, and be more freckled. But for now, I’ll brownie. Because there’s something therapeutic about chopping chocolate, and something even better about eating chocolate. And while these baked my kitchen was cozy warm and smelled…
I couldn’t stop thinking about these brownies. I can’t stop listening to this song. I can’t stop wearing cowboy boots. I couldn’t hold out about turning the heat on anymore. I can’t eat these for dinner, but I want to. And these brownies are a turning point. I successfully made caramel sauce! Caramel generally intimidates me. I’ve burnt it before. I’ve made it too firm, too soft, it’s just been wrong. But this recipe is…
What are your pantry staples? Currently I can’t live without spare cans of pumpkin. I get uneasy if I’ve only got one can left. They hang out in the cupboard with black beans, half-full boxes of noodles, and honey. I also like to buy giant bars of chocolate from Trader Joe’s that I can cut up and put in cookies or brownies like these! When I cut up chocolate I like to transfer it to…
I wouldn’t choose White Chocolate as my my rapper name. I mean, white chocolate’s ok. I like it on things like pretzels or in a pumpkin cookie, but I’d never just say, “Toss me that white chocolate bunny, I want to eat its ears.” It just wouldn’t happen. But these guys make me totally appreciate white chocolate in a new way. Because, you see, these are pretty much white chocolate brownies with milk/dark chocolate chips.…
