AKA: Why I can't lose those last 10 pounds
Sunday evening rolls around. We are gripped in the throes of boredom. For Phil that means a movie, a guy movie, a Jason Bourne movie. For me it means ainlessly surfing the web or baking. I love to bake. He makes an innocent request: brownies. I tell him there is a box in the cupboard; hop to it. He delays claiming I always make them better.
"It's a box, everyone makes them the same" I reason. He walks over to the couch and settles into his movie. A few moments pass and I ask him if he wants brownies, really just reminding him of his need. "Okay!" he says.
Which means I make them. And I don't make box brownies. If you are going to have a brownie, have a real brownie. One with loads of chocolate flavor, moist, chewy and perfect. So I make this.
And then I eat one, at night, before bed(!), still warm and gooey...
And then this morning...
I ate another.
Oh the shame! I have no willpower. No control. No food morals!
But I do have...
10 extra pounds taking residence on my lower half which strangely mimics some known dairy product. What the?!!
These brownies must go! I sent 4 with Phil to work. I will take the whole dang batch with me to work to share the love, misery loves company right?
You want some? It's kinda lonely here...

Sinful, yes, in large quantities! But NOT sinful if you just eat one. THAT is the hard part. You are doing the "right thing" in shipping them off with Phil and bringing them to work with you.
Forgive yourself and recommit! You are never a "lost cause"! :)
I am so seriously craving a brownie, I might take my lunch break at 9:30... Heather you make everything look amazing. DELICIOUS. I am definetly trying those.
They look and sounds so yummy. I have tried several of your receipes and each one is better than the next. Now, on to brownies...and those extra giggling pounds!
Heather if you ever want to get rid of your homemade delicious food, my children (and myself) will gladly take them off your hands for you. Anytime! That's what family is for.
I remember when your mom would come over and bake at our house. We would always eat yummy treats especially on Sundays after church. The good-old days.
I will try this recipe for sure!
Thanks ~Sherri
Now those look "Downright Delish"! I'm definitely going to have to try those.
I want some of those yummy looking brownies, but I am on a no sugar diet for two weeks. Us girls here in Georgia (in my ward) committed to no sugar for two weeks. But, once those two weeks are up I am in. My daughter made two boxes of brownies for Sunday night. They were the 8x8. She didn't wnat to take the time and make them from scratch and her dad needed something sweet.
ha ha ha! That's me all summer long!
Nummy!! Those look delish! You are amazing!
