My Goal....

It is my goal to get back into my blogging habit again. Ever since I started teaching I haven't been very regular :( I know I don't have that many followers but for those of you that do follow me:

I'm Sorry!

Please don't give up on me. I promise I'll be back!

Just to give you 1 thing to enjoy:

Worlds Largest Chocolate fountain at the Bellagio. We were there...in Vegas I mean...and we ate lots of delicious food. And saw a cool show. And saw Marks parents! More to come on that later :D

Living The Wife Life: Pasta Carbonara Guest Post :D

Hey everyone! Today I made my first guest post. It was on a great blog called Living the Wife Life. It is a blog written by two mom's about relationships, recipes, crafts, healthy and beauty, spiritual upliftment among other things! I love it and have gotten some great ideas from these two ladies :) 

Check out their blog and my post here:

Chocolate Heaven Brownies

WARNING these brownies are veeeeery chocolatey! They are not for the faint of heart or the person who “doesn’t really like chocolate very much” (aka my husband) If your husband does not like chocolate…and you don’t like sharing dessert these are for you! You can have as many chocolate heaven brownies as you want without having to give any up ;) (unless you have chocolate loving children…but this is not a problem for me)

You need:

10 Tablespoons room temperature butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour

2/3 bag of giant marshmallows (or 1 bag of small…smaller is better my friends trust me)

Pre-heat oven to 325

That is IT! Can you believe it? Hardly any ingredients at all!

First: mix your butter and sugar and cocoa powder together until creamy. Then put it in the microwave for 1 minute.

Next: Mix everything else in!

IMG_4839Spray an 8x8 pan and then dump your mixture in. Cook for about 20 minutes.

While baking cut your giant marshmallows into little pieces.

Take your brownies out and put the marshmallows all over the top.

Put back in the oven. Watch these CLOSE you don’t want them to burn just get nice and golden brown!

Wait until they cool and cut up and EAT. I promise if you like chocolate. (like you will eat any kind of chocolate anything rich, creamy, chocolate attack worthy chocolate…these are for you!)

Tips from Kj:

You can add chocolate chips to these! Either on top or mixed in to the batter. As usual we didn’t have them…you’ll find that for the next few months (probably the next 10) I’ll be a very thrifty food blogger. My hubby is in school and we are living on a very limited income. So my recipes are going to get more and more creative with our small amount of food/budget.

You don’t have to cook them as long as me with the marshmallows on top. I just really love a golden mallow.

You also don’t even have to put mallows on top. Just the brownie will make you happy. The marshmallow just adds a bit more joy :D
