"Oh My Thighs"

My sister-in-law has this recipe on her blog. I made it again last night and thought I should share this sinfully delicious dessert with you via blog :)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. brownie mix (I prefer Ghirardelli's triple chocolate brownie mix)
1/2 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 cups Rice crispy cereal

Bake brownies according to package directions and BE SURE to NOT OVERCOOK them. Let them cool off a bit. In the meantime, melt chocolate chips (slowly, over very low heat), and add peanut butter to the melted chips. Once the peanut butter is thoroughly mixed into the chocolate, add the cereal and stir until it's well coated. Dump mixture over brownies and spread it out evenly over the brownies. Let cool on the counter, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to cool. Enjoy, but try not to eat the whole pan yourself!
(My sister-in-law does a layer of melted marshmellows between the brownies and rice crispy mixture, but I like it better without the marshmellows. If you want to do the marshmellows this is what you do: after the brownies are baked, take them out of the oven and dump about 2 cups of marshmellows on brownies and spread out evenly. Put back in the oven until marshmellows start to brown. Let cool and follow the rest of the directions above).

Pasta Carbonara

"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say.  You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store.  While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something  with that tortellini!  I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will  appear to not be cooked.  We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe.  The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still.  I promise it is delicious.  But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance.  Now you ma...

Spinach Waffles

Spinach in waffles?  Gross, right? Only for people trying to lose weight, right?  WRONG.  Right? Okay, I see how thoroughly confused you are now.  And I know what you're thinking: "wait, she can see me?? Creep!"  Oh, you weren't thinking that? Weird, you should be--that IS creepy.  But I digress...we were speaking of spinach in a standard, non-spinachy food.  The thing is, it's SOOOO good you guys!  I even made regular waffles side by side to compare, and my kids (my KIDS!) said the spinach ones were better (cue jaw drop, gasp, and fake fainting spell).  Full disclosure, one (out of 6) of the kids said they were gross, but she refused to actually taste any, so we just won't pay any attention to her.  She's kind of in the middle anyway, so she's used to it.... (cue awkward, judging silence from the reader).  Even if you're kids refuse to taste them, though, you have to be a grown-up and at least try them.  Try them, you will se...
