Recipe: Peppermint Brownie

This recipe is my holiday version in honor of my husband’s all-time favorite dessert, the brownie. Chunks of chocolate chips, with a fudgy rich texture that crumbles on the top and has that perfect amount of peppermint that throws you into holiday nostalgia. Peppermint hot chocolate by a cozy fire listening to Nat King Cole and watching the snow fall gently.

This peppermint brownie recipe is a little different, in that I use powdered sugar (instead of granulated sugar) to help make the brownies denser and hold their fudge-like texture together. Much like fudge, they are also decadent and rich, so I highly recommend cutting them into smaller squares much as you would fudge. trust me, your tummy will thank you.

Recipe: Zucchini Bread

I try to make recipes that you can adjust for your family. If you actually prefer nuts, you could add 1 cup of walnuts or pecans to it if you wanted. My kids don’t always want nuts in bread like this or the banana bread I make, if I feel like adding nuts, I’ll make muffins instead and split the batter so that I can add nuts to half.

If you make muffins, they will take less time to bake, A LOT let less time, so keep that in mind.
