Bake Sale Brownies

This afternoon I tried a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine.  I have been wanting to test it out for a while but have yet to do so – not sure why.  I would like to make these brownies for Meghann’s Bake Sale so I needed to to a trial run first.  The recipe is Fudgy Mocha-Toffee Brownies found in the September 2007 Anniversary Issue.  It was actually very easy to prepare and my house smelled amazing. 

 

Charlie did indeed sample the finished product – he loves them.  I can’t eat the topping – it has milk chocolate toffee bits.  I did try a tiny nibble of the inside – yes, it tastes like fudge.  I can’t wait to hear the co-workers reaction.  I feel pretty good about donating these.  If you like coffee and chocolate then these are sure to please. 

 

 

Onto my dinner.  I made a delicious salad with lettuce, zucchini, oranges and almonds.  The dressing was Maple Grove Farms Fat Free Balsamic. 

 

 

With my salad I made a grilled cheese with tomato.  I layered light Swiss and tomato between 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread.  I spread 1 tsp of Earth Balance on the bread before grilling it in a pan.  This was a childhood favorite of mine, with American cheese of course.  As an adult I quite enjoy other varieties of cheese. 

 

 

Dessert was a brownie that won’t cause havoc to my skin – Z Bar style with 1/2 a tbsp PB.  I heated this bad boy in the micro for a few - it was warm and gooey. 

 

That’s all for today.  I hope you all had a great Tuesday.  I have work in the AM and I am not looking forward to dragging D out in the storm.  I hope that it isn’t that bad until we make it home.  At least I am done at 10:30.  See you tomorrow.
