I am giving you this brownie recipe by popular demand! I developed it out of necessity and it has become my go to recipe for brownies, which is amazing because I have a recipe that I have used for years that I thought was the best of all. Let me explain!
In my church, I lead the children up to age 11 years old in music. Each year we are responsible for a program that teaches about all of the things the children have learned in their Sunday classes throughout the year. Music is a large part of this program and we work on about 9 (or so) songs throughout the year until the fall program. In order to motivate my kids to sing their very best, I have used a "Brownie Points" system for a couple of years. As the children improve as they learn each song, I award them brownie points. Then, at the end of the program, when they have sung their very best, I bring them brownies. (They always sing their very best.) Here is a copy and paste printable of the brownie point stickers I have made to add interest to this process. I tell them in advance that we have a goal of 9 to 10 stickers per song in order to earn the brownies. I make a poster listing all of the songs and award stickers across as the year goes by. 
At the end of Primary, after the program, I hand out the brownies. There are a few children who need to eat gluten free, so the first year I did this, I made both regular and gluten free brownies. The gluten free brownies were so popular and delicious, I only made those this year.
We do a lot of mustache themed activities in our singing time. It is just a gimmick to add a little fun to singing time. So, this year I cut the brownies into mustaches with a cookie cutter. The kids loved them. My husband loved eating all of the scraps! 
Here is a tip, flip the brownies and peel off the foil before cutting them out. Then drizzle them with frosting. I learned this the hard way, peeling them off the foil individually can be difficult.
I recently took a batch of these over to some friends, who incidentally must eat gluten free, here is what they told me about these brownies:
See that awesome crackly top?
Double Chocolate Gluten Free Brownies This recipe adapted from runningwithspoons.com
Now, fast forward to Christmas Treat Plates! This are going to be a hit on those I believe!
Right out of the over!
Drizzled with chocolate frosting, white chocolate and sprinkled with sprinkles!
Voila! (These may or may not have been my breakfast.) Won't they look adorable on a Christmas Treat Plate? And Santa will love them!
So, the moral of the story is, don't let the words "gluten free" scare you! These are some of the best brownies you will ever eat!

During my recent trip to visit my family in California, I attended a luncheon with my sister where we were served a variety of soups. I started with the delicious clam chowder, which is a favorite of mine. Then I tried the Pumpkin Sausage soup and I fell in love with it! Since my son does the Keto Diet, I knew that he would like it too.
I came home to Phoenix and found this recipe on I Breath, I'm Hungry. I made a couple of changes for our taste and I will post the recipe I used below. One of my favorite things is that the turnips made a really good replacement for potatoes and another favorite thing is the creaminess that the mascarpone cheese adds to the soup. This recipe makes quite a lot of soup. My husband and I had eaten it for two days, then my came over and finished it off with us. He kept going back for more! It is that good! This soup would be easy to make and put in the crockpot for later and is a warm and satisfying meal during this hustle and bustle time of year. 50% off this week!

Thank you for your support  You may not have realized this, but even buttons get a day! And that day is today, November 16th. I'm glad buttons have a day because I have always loved them. From the time I played with them in my mother's big, musty smelling treasure chest of a button box until today, there is something so special about buttons. They are so cute, except in the book/movie Coraline, of course, when they are creepy. I have my own button box now, but it isn't as brilliant as my mom's was. But, when I do a project, it is often one of the places I turn to first. So, today for Friday Faves, I thought I would show you a few projects that are button-fabulous!  First I used a styrofoam ball and green, red and white buttons to make this ornament. I love it.  Next I made a wreath on this tablescape easel and hand lettered the greeting in the middle. You could a dd a bow to the wreath or use different shaped buttons. I just used what I have at home. I love displaying little things like this on my bookshelves during the holidays. Here are some other things that we would like to try! If you don't have a big stash of buttons, you can order them online here or here! Or, go to Walmart or any fabric store. You can find serving trays at Dollar Tree here. I am having so much fun playing with buttons, I can't stop, so you may be seeing more button projects form me, Ha Ha! I did do a Spring Button Project here a while back.  And, if you like the idea of little framed pieces on your bookshelves, look at these!  |
