Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Light Brownies

I'm going to share a long time family favorite with you today.  This is a recipe I got from Tony's Mom, right after Mandie was born.   It is super easy and very yummy.  One note, they don't keep well.  About 2 days is the max.  So if you have a small family you may want to half this recipe and bake them in a 9x9.  That has never been much of a problem for our family, as we seem to eat them pretty much the same day we make them or by the next day anyway! ;-)  We made this recipe countless times for fundraisers when my 3 older girls were in high school.  In fact, Ashley's Senior year, she made these so many times she could probably do it in her sleep!

Light Brownies (sometimes called Blond Brownies in our family)

 Lightly grease a 9x13 pan and preheat the oven to 325 F.

Mix together:

3/4 cup of butter or margarine (melted)
2 cups of brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups plain flour

Spread into prepared pan.
Top with 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Can add chopped nuts, too, if desired.

Bake at 325 for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
