Since returning home I feel like this has been a non stop week. I don't even remember Monday, haha. I probably washed clothes all day. Tuesday, Abigail decided she wanted to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz for halloween, and of course I had to drive all over the world looking for a costume... no luck. Tanner had his football banquet that night and finally we landed at home about 8:45, whew. I met a friend for breakfast Wednesday morning and guess what she knew someone with a Dorothy costume. Yayyy. Mission accomplished. We had trunk or treat Wednesday night at our church ( I may get kicked out for my car decor... but it was fun). (see picture)
Today I came across a great tip that I can't wait to try. I am going to start tomorrow and will have it completed before Christmas. I may even double up on one or two days since they are pretty simple. I do have a head start because I cleaned out DH's closet Monday (oh that's what I did). Note to self: never do this again because all he has done is fussed that I removed items that he thinks he should keep.
Yummy sounding recipe that I found today, Can't wait to get my new oven to try it out. (found these on 3B's - Baseball, Baking and Books blog
Cookies & Cream Brownies
*One batch brownies with chopped up Oreos added.
*Cookies & Cream Frosting, doubled :)
2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
1 Tbsp. heavy cream, plus a little extra
approx. 8 oreos, crushed well
Combine all frosting ingredients except the oreos and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. You may need to add a bit more heavy cream to get a spreadable consistency. Mix in crushed oreos (more or less). Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies.
You can fancy these up by topping each bar with an oreo cookie half like I did or you can top the whole thing with ganache thus smothering the “cream” between two layers of chocolate.
See you hopefully sooner than later.
