I am a girl with a serious sweet tooth. Anything that has sugar in it tends to make me happy. When I saw a brownie that combined three of my major loves {chocolate, cheesecake, and peanut butter} I knew I had to try it. I found the recipe through Pinterest and it led me to the recipe on Pip & Ebby. I tried it. I loved it. Confession: I ate half the pan. Second confession: I didn’t regret it for a second.

RECIPE TO TRY – OREO TRUFFLE BROWNIES
I have two things to thank for this: 1. My {overwhelmingly popular} post on Slutty Brownies… which led me to 2. Searching other delectable brownie recipes on Pinterest and stumbling upon this gem from Raising 4 Princesses: The Oreo Truffle Brownie. This brownie recipe knocked my socks off. De-lish!!!It’s this simple:
1. Make brownies {go ahead and use a box mix. You won’t be able to tell}. Put them in the fridge to cool.
2. Put two sleeves of Oreos in a ziplock bag and smash them up.
3. Mix the smashed up Oreos with 8oz of softened cream cheese.
4. Spread the mixture on the cooled brownies.
5. Melt 1/2 bag of semisweet chocolate chips on the stove and spread on top.
6. Refrigerate and try not to eat the whole thing all at once!

RECIPE TO TRY – SLUTTY BROWNIES
My Pinterest obsession/addiction has led me to many phenomenal recipes… and I am ridiculously grateful that I stumbled upon this one. These brownies are the very best brownies that I have EVER consumed. Seriously. And, they are quite easy {hence the term “slutty”}. I found the recipe on The Londoner. It requires the following:1 Box chocolate chip cookie mix
1 box brownie mix {I went with Ultimate Fudge for extra gooey-ness}
Eggs {as called for on the box mix}
Oil {as called for on the box mix}
Butter {as called for on the box mix}
Double stuffed oreosPreheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9 baking tray with parchment paper. Make the cookie mix and mush it into the bottom of the tray. Then cover that with double stuffed oreos. Then make the brownie mix and pour it evenly over the top. Bake the entire thing for the time listed on the brownie mix box. Easy. Delicious. Bonus points if you eat it while it’s still warm with some ice cream.

RECIPE TO TRY – CHILI, JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD MUFFINS, & HONEY WHIPPED BUTTER
In a word (or two… okay, three): ultimate comfort food. There is nothing I love more than comfort food. My daddy is a Texan… so it’s in my blood that the ultimate comfort food is chili and cornbread. I whipped up the whole meal in literally 10 minutes (leave it to simmer for at least an hour and a half, though… chili is all about the simmer). I used a ridiculously simple recipe (find it here). Then I used some basic cornbread mix and threw some diced jalapenos and cheddar cheese into the batter. I cooked up the cornbread muffins in my Babycakes maker (my obsession is highlighted here). The honey whipped butter is literally as easy as it sounds (whip honey into some butter, sweetheart. See? Easy.)… There is nothing glamourous about chili (as you can see with my oh-so-simple and totally-not-glamourous pics)… but there is something so ridiculously satisfying about it. And, of course, the ultimate Meal for Your Man (or, come on, just for your wonderful self!) testament is the review from… well, a man. My man tester’s words {after a long “Mmmmmm”}: “This is my second favorite chili ever. My mom’s is the best, of course” (smart answer)… For such a simple recipe, I was thrilled with the compliment. Oh, and he ate (at least) five muffins. I consider it a success. So, get simmerin’… you. will. love. this.
