Today's the day! I'm the SITS featured blogger... and a wee bit excited :) I hope my first time visitors find a lot of great new recipes to try. I feel my mission's accomplished if I inspire one person to cook. There's no bigger compliment than my viewers emailing me and telling me their families enjoy or have saved money using the recipes I've posted! For those of you new today I would like to share a few links to some of my favorite ( and top commented) posts:
Marshmallow Roses- I felt quite clever coming up with this idea! They're adorable, simple to make and would be great party favors.
Fat-Free Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries- Need I say more?
Poor Momma's Pizza- This is a great meal idea for a mom on the cheap (like me!). My kids and husband both enjoyed these.
I don't know about you, but I don't think any celebration's complete without chocolate. Being featured blogger's something to celebrate, so here's a great chocolate treat. Use your favorite boxed brownie mix (I don't see why you couldn't use your favorite from-scratch brownie recipe) and get cooking. The marshmallows and frosting make these delicious treats over-the-top! Imagine how great they would be warmed and served with vanilla ice cream... I'm officially drooling (and I hope you are too!)
MARSHMALLOW BROWNIES
mini marshmallows (about 3/4 bag)
Frosting
1/2 cup butter
4 TBSP cocoa powder
3 TBSP milk
3 TBSP water
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Make the brownie mix according to package directions for CAKE LIKE brownies and bake according to package directions. When brownies are done, cover with a layer of miniature marshmallows and put back into the oven for a few minutes until marshmallows are nice and puffy. Cool brownies and top with frosting.
For frosting bring 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons cocoa, 3 tablespoons water, and 3 tablespoons milk to a boil. Remove from heat. While still hot, add confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Beat well. Pour frosting over brownies while frosting is still hot. Allow to cool before cutting.
Thanks everyone for stopping by. I hope you all remember me when you need a new recipe :)
