After my college self (seeContinue reading “She’s a BRIK house!”

Snow Day To Do List:

Seeing as how I was highly grumpy when facing ANOTHER 16.5 inches of snow today (BLARGH), I decided it would be best to stay productive. Here are some snippets of what I did today, in hopes that they might inspire you out of the White Witch Blues. (Ahem: always-winter-never-Christmas, yes?) #1: Make Homemade Cocoa-Based Brownies!

Gooey, Chocolatey & Homemade

The Easiest, Best, & Quickest Brownies NOT From A Box Sometimes you just need brownies . . . and you don’t happen to have a brownie mix available.
