Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Hey everyone!

I just finished eating a delicious dinner that my mom helped me to make. It was Giada DeLaurentiis's recipe for Orechiette with Chicken Meatballs, Mozzarella, and Cherry Tomatos, and boy was it good! So light and fresh and satisfying all at once. The recipe is sort of long, so if you're interested in it you can probably find it on http://www.foodnetwork.com/. Another hit for Giada in my book. :)

For dessert, I made peanut butter cup brownies earlier. The recipe for this one is super simple, and I actually found in a Cosmo magazine amongst the raunchy sex tips haha! It's by Katie Lee Joel, Billy Joel's wife. She's a beautiful woman and a great chef, she's so much fun to watch whenever she's a guest on Paula Deen's show. So anyways, here's the recipe, incredibly easy and delicious!


Katie Lee Joel's Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Ingredients:

Boxed brownie mix
9-10 Peanut Butter Cups, halved into 2 pieces (making a total of 18-20 pb cup halves)

Prepare brownie mix according to the instructions on the package. In a baking pan, pour half of the batter. Next, lay the pb cup halves evenly onto the batter. Then, finish by pouring the remaining batter over the pb cups. Bake according to manufacturer's directions, cool, cut, serve, and enjoy!


Before I head off, I'd like to thank everyone who reads this blog and has visited my YouTube channel to watch my Funky Punk Fresh videos. It means a lot to me that friends, family, and maybe even strangers are supporting my culinary endeavors! I'm at a strange part of my life now where my world has been literally flipped upside down, and I'm starting from scratch trying to figure out who I truly am at my deepest core. And I think I'm headed down the right path, following what my heart is telling me to do. It whispers to me, "Brooooooke, go to culinary schooooool..." And so I must listen. ;)

Thanks and tastefully yours,
Brooke
