Where my 'I'd rather stay at home than (insert whatever it is that you'd rather not be doing)' buddies at?!

Double Chocolate Macadamia Brownies

...and a variety of sprinkles on the top for aesthetic purposes only (let's be real here).

So, hello.  Here I am again, unable to start a blog post despite doing this blogging thing for years now.

Mocha Cheesecake Brownies

It all started with a block of cream cheese.  

The original plan was to make bibingka and sprinkle the cream cheese all over it.  But a banana leaf needed for lining the pan was always forgotten and never made an appearance in our household.  Days turned to a week and I started to crave for something really chocolaty.

And bibingka is definitely not chocolaty!

Double Chocolate Oreo Brownies

Is there a pack of Oreos in your pantry that you haven't opened or eaten yet?  Yes?

You could definitely enjoy those on their own or with a glass of milk where you'll dunk the entire pack one by one and the cookies will get mushy and fall apart... things can get real messy but at least you'll have Oreo milk!

But sometimes Oreo milk or plain Oreos just won't do, right?  Think of them mixed within something that's just as delicious; like ice cream or cookies or brownies!

Double Chocolate Cashew Nut Brownies

After I made these brownies, I realized I didn't use my mixer.

Again.

I  appreciate all the hard work it is able to do but most of the time a no-mixer recipe is just what I need.

One Brownie Recipe, Countless Possibilities!

Is that even possible?

I think so.

This delicious cheesecake brownie recipe is by Laura Vitale and that woman knows good food.

Good food that don't require any super powers to make.

Fudge Walnut Brownies, Joy The Baker-style

Before I made my first ever brownies, lo and behold, I didn't like them. Shocking, I know. Maybe it's because the ones that I would get to try aren't really what I envision a brownie to taste like. But if somebody gives me a box of brownies you bet that I'd still eat them!

This particular one is by the amazing Joy The Baker. If you don't already adore her and her equally amazing recipes, then I have to ask you to please go and visit her website. It's pure baking heaven!
