Can we talk about how expensive pecans have gotten? I have NEVER seen them this high. I get inflation and all that jazz, but pecans were getting into the "too pricey for me" index years before inflation hit. I don't get it, either. They're ABUNDANT here in the south. Heck, I have a pecan tree… Continue reading Pecan Pie Brownies

Brownie Pie
September means the start of pie season. I guess you could have pie anytime you want, but don't you normally eat a bunch of pie in the fall/holiday months? I love a good pumpkin pie (the marshmallow pumpkin pie I made last year is AMAZING) and pecan pie also has a special place in my… Continue reading Brownie Pie
Valentine’s Brownie Truffles
I don't usually make Valentine's treats, but when I do, I go all out. I wanted to make something nice and sweet for my coworkers after a long week of weather coverage last week. It's nice to have a treat every once in a while--and they don't last long around the newsroom. These brownie truffles… Continue reading Valentine’s Brownie Truffles
Spring Blondies
If you're in a post-Easter slump, have no fear! Spring is here and the spring treats can continue well past the holiday.I made these "blondies" over the weekend and luckily still have a few leftover. This is a small-batch of blondies, so don't make them if you want to take to a party or a… Continue reading Spring Blondies
Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Strawberry Brownies
When I was a kid, my mom would go all out for my birthdays. I'm talking theme birthdays (Beauty & the Beast, Under the Sea, etc.) and all the decorations that come with it. She would also always make me a homemade birthday cake. They ranged from Chocolate fudge to my all-time favorite: strawberry. I… Continue reading Strawberry Brownies
Christmas Brownie Cookies
Sugar is one of the most addicting substances in the world. It buries itself deep inside your brain thinking you need it---always. The holidays make it extremely hard to not overdo it on the sugar. I've found myself sneaking one cookie...two cookies...three cookies or more. Once you get one, you can't stop. These brownie cookies… Continue reading Christmas Brownie Cookies
Buckeye Brownies
Confession time: I don't really like peanut butter. Before you throw me to the wolves, hear me out. It's not that I don't like peanut butter. I'm just not a rabid fan of the stuff. Will I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Of course! Will I purposefully seek one out to make? Not… Continue reading Buckeye Brownies
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
For the longest time I thought red velvet was a special kind of cake batter. Like Dr. Pepper, I wasn't sure what was in it but I knew it was different. Imagine my surprise when I learned it was just chocolate with red food coloring. How is that possible? It tastes different than just plain chocolate. Nope.… Continue reading Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
