Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups make good things even better.

I made brownies similar to Fudgy Nutella Brownies, added some Reese’s Cups, and continued to doctor them up even more.  Suffice to say they’re “pretty good”.

Sunshine and blue skies make a Saturday even better.

And so does time with my family, yoga at home…

…and baking.

Baking supplies: eggs, chocolate, peanut butter, and butter

However, dirty dishes do not make things better.  Excuse me while I clean up the baking dishes and then start on dinner.  And then the dinner dishes…

It’s a revolving door of dishes, but they were for a very good cause.

  1. I want you to come over and clean my floors; they never look that good! While you’re at it, my yoga mat needs a good wipe-down, too, since I take it out to the track for boot-camp and never remember to wipe it down.

    Boot-camp was excellent; I was full of fire and *almost* able to keep up with the young Coast Guard studs!

  2. I read a quote once that was along the lines of “A clean house is a sign of a boring life…”; it made sense to me. So I say, dirty up those dishes and work that creativity! Yesterday, we created a lo mien dish with chili orange-sauced veggies! It got messy, but it’s always worth it :) Have a great weekend!

  3. Had a great day today! made wonderful birthday pancakes for my step-daughter, got pedicures, made birthday cupcakes and had Hibachi Grill for dinner. finally had a day where I wasn’t sitting at home!

  4. Good Day= 11 mile run followed by an evening with my closest friends and some delicious food. I heart spinach dip!!!

  5. Ugh. How come there is always a load (or five) of dishes to do? They never end!

    Sometimes, though, dishes are well worth it. Like that Reese’s cup creation. Totally worth it.

  6. i love all your sweets that you make but I’m curious.. what do you do with all of them?! You are very healthy and fit looking so I can’t imagine that you are the one polishing off all the brownies ;)

    1. We eat them! I don’t throw away food, ever! My husband, daughter, and I..her friends, his coworkers, my friends, trust me, it all gets eaten. No, I don’t eat a whole pan by myself but I am not shy about my desserts, either!

  7. couldn’t agree more with your first line… “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups make good things even better.” aaaand those brownies look incredible. i wouldn’t be able to keep my fingers out of that pan…

    1. I bet they have great prices on a case or two of Reese’s…not that I ‘need’ a case :)

  8. Do we get to see the brownies that first drool worthy picture went into? ;)
    Today I went to visit my brother and his new fiance, tried on a bridesmaid dress and talked about weddings! fun, fun :) have a great rest of the weekend!

  9. I know I’ve said it before, but I really need to learn to love yoga. Today I hit the gym for cardio since I couldn’t get out and run. Then the rest of the day was spent with friends. I call it a good Saturday.

    1. you would love it if you could just get to that quiet-mind place. It took me YEARS to get there and now, it’s…the best gift ever :)

  10. Mmm how good do those reeses cup look?? And yes, nice weather makes all the difference. Today i ran, walked with kay and josh, shopped a bit, baked and went to dinner with friends

  11. guess what averie? i’ve had my eye on those zak confetti mixing bowls for quite some time after seeing them on your blog and i just ordered some today… that made my day great! and yes, reese’s make everything look better. :)

  12. Dishes are a perfect example of the futility of life! Ha! But luckily we have lots of examples of the beauty in life, too! Those brownies do look “pretty good!” Yum!

  13. Today ilk made. Some 5 minute Blondie from a blog I found. Did yoga super early then went for a bike ride! Feeling good!
