Black Forest Brownies

I thought I'd post these here, since it was a really long time ago but they are the best brownies of all time!

Chocolatey Butterscotch Goodness & the Pretzel Things...

Not that you REALLY want this recipe but it's the one that keeps popping into my sugar addicts brain.

Chow Mein Clusters
1 c. butterscotch chips
1c. chocolate chips
1 c. chow mein noodles  (I omitted these in a few of the ones I made at Ron & Gwens due to their poison containing gluten and I LOVE them!)
1 c. cashews (it calls for peanuts but who wants peanuts when they could have cashews???)

Slowly melt (in microwave or stove) the chips until all smooth, add the nuts & noodles and spoon onto wax paper.  
Pecan Rolo Candies
As Dillon would say - these are easy peasy...  :)
Put a rolo on top of a pretzel and bake it in the oven 250 for 4 minutes, then put a pecan on top and Voila!


There ya go, gain back all that weight you just lost with your fancy new resolutions.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I got this recipe from a cooking blog I like. I made these meatballs the other night and they were really good. I don't know if I would call them amazing but they used simple ingredients and were super easy. We all really liked them, even Zach pigged out on them. We made our regular fried rice to go along with them but here is the recipe that was on the blog if you need a fried rice recipe. We make ham fried rice but we add brocolli, carrots, and peas. It is delicious!

Brown Sugar Muffins

I love these muffins! They are seriously the only muffins I ever make. I had a group of friends over today for brunch and I made these muffins and everyone absolutely loved them, even the kids. I originally got this recipe from Natalie but recently got a tweaked version from my friends cooking blog, bakeitandloveit.blogspot.com. Here is the tweaked version.
