Today’s Activity:

It’s baking day.

Note:

Here’s the recipe I’m using.  I’m going to be making these. You have to scroll all the way down to get to the recipe. I may even borrow the perfect brownie pan that my mom got for Christmas from her Brother-in-law.  Max LOVES that infomercial!

Evaluate:

This was not my best baking ever but at least I had fun with the kids.  They turned out pretty good but not really as good as I had expected which works out great for the diet.  :)   The main thing I didn’t like is that the actual brownie was very cakey which my husband loves but not me.  Plus I messed a few things up in the recipe so if you are choosing to do this recipe read it before you start actually cooking.  For instance I used cocoa instead of melted bakers chocolate.  After adding the cocoa I read that if you choose to use cocoa then it should not be added at the same time you would add the bakers chocolate.  I’m not sure if this REALLY effected the end result but it did make me wish I had read through the recipe first.
