Cookie Dough Brownie Bites

I think that the Picky Palate is my new favorite blog!

Like me, she is always on the lookout for easy, kid-friendly meals, so I have a feeling that I'll be checking her out more often than I already do. And this recipe of hers from a couple of days is the most amazing little dessert ever, and I will be forever grateful to her for bringing it into my life.

And the recipe? So easy. All you need is brownie batter (I was lazy so I used store-bought) and cookie dough (still lazy - Nestle log it is!). Fill mini muffin tins with the brownie batter (about 1/2 - 3/4 full) and add in a ball of dough. SO EASY!!

And the results?? See for yourself:

Let's just say that my husband loves me even more than he did before. And we're both probably several pounds heavier. :) These puppies are GOOOOD.

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
