Stella’s friend Bella was over and as we were talking – I mentioned that I could really go for a good cookie. Bella said I wish I had gone to my sister’s soccer tournament because they were having brownies. So what did I say? If you want you guys can make some brownies – how about blonde brownie with chocolate chips? They both looked at me and said what are blonde brownies. I said they are brownies that do not use cocoa so are not brown but blonde color. That piqued their interest. We went to the cabinet and no chocolate chips to be found. We put our jackets on and took a walk to the grocery and picked out some good dark chocolate chips.
We came home and the baking began. The girls did it all – I just supervised and showed them how to do certain things. They made the brownies, popped them in the oven, set the timer and waited. I did the dishes and the girls played a card came. The timer went off and they ran to the kitchen – not quite done, set the timer for another 5 minutes and then they were done. They were so excited and then decided that they wanted to go down the street and play with some of their other friends. The brownies went uneaten! I am sure they will be eaten later! Sometimes you just need a little sweet something!
