Luscious Brownies

I'm not a gadget person usually. I do not have lots of tools in the kitchen for baking, only the main essentials. Sometimes I see a fancy pan or mold that I like, but then I think, "how often would I really use it"? So I usually put it back. Are you like that or do you go ahead and buy it? 

Well, on a recent trip to JoAnn fabrics, I decided to keep the fancy pan. With this fancy pan, I made these adorable brownies. Can food be adorable?

Mari chose Red Velvet Winter Cake from Howling at the Moon. "Red Velvet is my best friend lol."
Mari chose Cherry Cheese Danish Braid from Reviews, Chews, and How-Tos. "And having food still on my mind I choose this other sweet treat by Lynda."
Reuven & Aliyah chose A Mom's Guide to Minecraft - Join in the Fun! from our very own Tiffany from TheMrsTee.com. "This post gave some nice definitions needed to understand a wonderful & creative game that kids can play for hours (and that parents will want to play, too)!"

Reuven & Aliyah chose When Breastfeeding Doesn't Go As Planned from our very own Melissa from The Healthy Living Mama. "It's very important for mothers to hear that not everything goes smoothly according to plan. Another extremely important lesson is not to listen to all advice givers. Even though they may mean well, their words may come across as mean and may not take your reality into consideration. This is a very useful and helpful post. Wish my wife and I had read this when we had breastfeeding difficulties with our first son."

Natasha also chose this post. "I had a lot of difficulties with breastfeeding my son, and I felt so disappointed. It didn't help that many people told me that it was my fault why it wasn't working and that I had to work harder at it. I realized over time and through talking to loved ones, that everything doesn't go as planned sometimes. In the end, I had to make the decision to supplement breastfeeding with formula. These are definitely some great tips for other moms that be going through the same! Thanks for sharing!"

Natasha Save $10 a month – Right Now! Buy your own Cable modem from My Family on a Budget. "Thanks for sharing! When I had cable, I also bought my own modem, and the savings were worth it. Great informative post!"

The post with the most views is Black Bean Quinoa Casserole from Courtney's Cookbook.

Complete the form here! Monthly guest hosts will be chosen on a first come first-serve basis.

Here are the Featured posts from last week!

Mari chose Orange Pecan Cinnamon Roll Donuts from Delightful E Made. "never turn down sweet rolls of any kind lol."
Mari chose Motherhood Madness from Coffee Mounds & Lipstick Clouds. "I always enjoy parenting humor so this was great treat."

Jessica Candy Cane Layer Cake chose from Annie's Noms. "This cake looks amazing!"

Bev chose Cranberry Orange Walnut Sweet Rolls from The Gold Lining Girl. "Wow, these would be so heavenly to have on Christmas morning. My husband would love the ones with figs. Need to try that one too."

Aliyah chose Spending the Holidays Along? 5 Tips to Help You Through It! from our very own Natasha from Epic Mommy Adventures. "Natasha wisely and supportively guides single parents to successfully negotiate and navigate the holidays for the benefits of all involved: themselves, their exes and, most importantly, their children, too."

Reuven chose Review: Squatty Potty from Reviews, Chews & How-Tos. "chose this post because it takes a humorous look at one of life's requirements and introduces a very interesting and potentially valuable product at the same time."

Natasha 6 Things to Let Go to Live a Truly Happy Life chose from Urban Naturale. "I think people dwell too much on having that one additional thing in life - money, wealth, a house, that new car - to make them feel happy. Happiness is something that lives within and exudes out, and this post makes this clear. I am a great believer in being happy and letting go of those things that don't bring me joy. Great post!"

Natasha 25 Awesome Christmas Cocktails chose from Budget Girl. "After the holiday shopping, wrapping gifts in the middle of the night, and assembling numerous gifts on Christmas, I'm craving one of these cocktails. Thanks for the sharing!"

The post with the most views Winter Solsticeis from Pleasures of the Northwest.
