Yum Yum Brownies

So I made these Yum Yum Brownies a week ago and I am just now posting them. I found this recipe because I was searching for a simple and easy chocolate dessert that I could make with no eggs and no milk. I hadn’t done my shopping yet so I had no eggs or milk in the fridge and with out time to run to the store before I had to get dinner and dessert ready.

Now I love to bake and I do all the time, even if I don’t post something I still most likely baked something that day but here’s the thing. I never really bake with out eggs, cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and brownies all usually have eggs in them. So I was a little skeptical of this recipe to start with but it turned out fantastic! Soft and chewy just like you expect your brownies to be, I ended up cooking mine for a few minutes longer than the original recipe calls for because I doubled it and used a larger pan.

Easy as.. Strawberry Pie!

So a few days ago I posted a very simple pie crust and the reason for that post was so I could do this post. A super yummy, super simple Strawberry pie! Now I set out to make this pie specifically after I saw a post of one on Pinterest and followed the link to this great site here. I wasn’t even looking for Strawberry pie, or pie at all… I was actually searching for a cute white pie plate and ended up with a beautiful picture of a delicious looking pie.

I really love this display of the pie.. This super cute white pie plate on top of a vintage looking blue cake plate. I personally love old touches like this in the kitchen and even through out the house.

This pie says spring to me and that summer is around the corner. Now I am the kind of person who loves fall and winter! I love the cool crisp weather, the fall colors, pumpkin patches, snow and Christmas, but nothing really beats the fresh fruit and veggies of spring and summer.

Simple little pie crust.

Okay.. So this little post is for a very simple little pie crust. It only has 5 ingredients and is very simple to make. Lets start with why I even needed this recipe! Well I needed… sorry wanted… to make a pie and I kind of needed a pie crust yet I did not have a pie crust recipe. What?

Now every homemaker needs a good pie crust recipe and I didn’t have a simple pie crust so of course I turned to the internet to find a fast and easy recipe. It only took me about 40 minutes to complete it from start to finish. That might seem like a long time for a pie crust but this includes a resting time.

Potato soup and blueberry muffins!

Yes you read that right, Potato soup and blueberry muffins! This may seem very odd to you, and it does to most people that I tell my dinner plans to on potato soup day but I am telling you the combination is outstanding and you have to try it!

Now the first time I remember trying this is when I was little at Grandmas house. This soup recipe is the one she uses, so I have no idea where she got it but it has always been the one she uses. This recipe is a nice savory and buttery potato soup, it always reminds me of the great buttery Clam chowder fromĀ Doogers (located in Seaside Oregon), just minus the clams.
