Congrats on your Artful Blogging feature. I saw your site on the cover on the mags website but the issue is not available here yet. I read February 1st. Yours will be the first that I read when I get my hot little hands on it.
How wonderful is that? Congrats again.

I haven't made blonde brownies in years. My mom used to make them and when we were first married I'd make them all the time. Our friends would come over and we'd make brownies then eat the whole panful. Thanks for bringing back memories for me:) Rhondi
