Oreo Brownies + Waffles and Honey Jewelry + Other Randoms

Dec 17, 2014

I posted this picture of my Oreo Brownies on Instagram and several of you wanted the recipe.  I actually just kind of made it up, but its damn good.  I gave these to Frances Moon’s teachers paired with a Visa gift card for Christmas gifts.

You will need one box of brownie mix and I highly recommend the Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie Mix.  You will also need the ingredients the brownie mix calls for which is water, eggs, and oil and one package of the Double Stuff Oreos.  Mix the brownies per the directions on the back.  Grease a glass baking dish ( I swear these cook better in glass dishes) and spread half the brownie mix.  Take the tops off the oreos and lay cookie side down across the pan.  Cover with the other half of brownie mix.  Bake at 350 about 20-25 minutes.  Do not over bake these are better gooey.

Let cool before you cut them.

I finally stopped in Mac and Murphy, quite possibly the cutest paper store ever.  I can’t believe it took me this long to get in.  I will be a regular from now on.  I got the most beautiful wrapping paper and Sally King Benedict calendar.  Locals please stop in, it is so charming and filled with amazing paper products.

I met my neice Avery for the first time this week.  I have 3 nephews but she is my first neice and I am so excited.  We were all so happy to welcome her to our family.  Almost made me want another.

You forgot how tiny and innocent they are when they are first born.  She is just the sweetest.

I mentioned it yesterday but don’t forget to check out the Serena and Lily Private Sale.  I snagged these pjs for Sterling for only $11 and these crab sheets for his room.

I am reading the Light Between the Oceans right now and loving it.  Erin recommended it and honestly I look forward to getting into bed every night to read it.  I highly recommend it!

I finally donwloaded the app Headspace and have been using it at night to meditate and love it.  Please download it if you are looking into meditating.  and is weird I find the narrators voice soothing and attractive?  The ten minutes at night really help me destress.

If you love Chardonnay I highly recommend this Unwooded Chardonnay. Matt and I both have been loving it.  and gotta love my napkins my mom gave me last year:)

I can get enough of these Fox tights from Old Navy.  I finally found them in Frances Moon’s size and just adore them.

 

If you need size 0-6 they are still on line in the Fox and Cat designs.  Otherwise check your local stores.

    That is the BEST book I've read in years. I loved it and had the hardest time picking up a book afterwards. It was soooooooooo good. You'll cry but it was such an awesome read. Enjoy it! Maybe make some of those brownies afterwards.
