That brownie recipe can be found here.  Check it out it is really easy and good.  Clean-up tip: line your pan with foil and spray your foil with cooking spray.  When your brownies are cool, lift the foil out of the pan! :-)

How about sharing a random fact about yourself in the comments, please DO SHARE!

  1. I loved finding out about you Mary--especially the piano playing and the singing--how awesome.

    Random fact about me--I was homecoming queen in high school and in college but it was not a popularity contest--the basketball teams voted on it and I was a very loyal, fanatical basketball fan--still am!!

  3. I love chocolate too! I am 38 and I have lived in 3 states, but I have moved around 30 times in my 38 years of life...sometimes more than once in a year! I make great southern food, but rarely do since it isn't healthy. I am currently into experimenting with more veggie recipes b/c I love eating whole foods that are not processed.
    I love your post!

  7. You have given some fascinating facts about yourself. This could be the start of a memoir of your life. Just reliving the past can be good insight into who you are and what matters most to you. I have been retired for five years and trying to write a book. I started out writing poetry which I still dabble in but now feel led to write fiction and weave a message of redemption of a your girl growing to adulthood. I am 68 years young and enjoy my two kitties who are inside cats and one outside tortoise shell cat. I was raised in Texas and migrated to California some 38 years ago. My 7 grandchildren are my delight and wish I lived closer to them. Thank you for this enjoyable entry.
