My oldest son is seven. He was home from school today. Fever, cough, headache to name a few. It was my day to stay home, I had a plan. First some resting on the couch with his favorite video (we still don’t have cable, only channels 2 – 23 and most of those are in another language or someone preaching about a higher power). Then we’ll write over due thank you letters (this was really more for me, but he didn’t know and it served two purposes). Third, we will build a huge lego tower that I had promised weeks ago. In the midst of all of this my son wanted to bake something. He walks over to the closet and pulls out the brownie mix. Brownies, I thought to myself, not too much of a mess, ok we’ll do it.

I have to say I haven’t made brownies in awhile, but these were the best brownies in the world. Goowy on the inside, but the outer edges were still crisp. I’m not sure what we did to them other than actually follow the directions, but they were amazing. Unfortunatly my children aren’t the ones I can blame for the huge piece missing out of the dish. I have managed to eat 1/4 of this glutinous masterpiece ( I should probably bake more if I find these as amazing as I do). As I write this I have another piece sitting besides me. I just can’t stop tonight. Which makes me think of a big salad I need to have tomorrow. Which lead me to think about the Baby Food Making Workshop we are having with Whole Foods in Cranston on October 29th at 6:30 pm.

Everyone needs a little sweetness now and again. Knowing how to get heathly food into your children is priceless. Come join us at Whole Foods to learn new techniques and ways to incorporate multiple colors and flavors into their day.
