- Brownies, Finally! -

Hi there! I'm interrupting my own blog hiatus for this:



I did it. I finally, after many attempts, made a super delicious grain-free brownie recipe!! I have this thing where I don't like to look at other people's recipes because I want to come up with my own, on my own. Sure, I'll look at the food photos all day long. But, unless I am purposely following someone's recipe because I'm making it, I don't typically read them. So it's taken me months to figure out a good brownie recipe. And with grain (thus, gluten-)-free baking that can be quite a challenge. But I did it. And they are absolutely delicious. :)  Rich, dark chocolate brownies. Yes. Thank you Lord!
Not only that, but today I remembered seeing a title on a picture of chocolate pudding and it said that the base was avocado. I was quite intrigued by this and have been wanting to try this. Today was the day because I cut into an avocado and it was perfectly ripe. Not the slightest bit hard OR over ripe. And I immediately thought to make the pudding. So I am excited to tell you that this pudding recipe (which I then froze and it's now an amazing ice cream substitute!) is fabulous. Not one hint of avocado flavor. Just  creamy, sweet, dark chocolate goodness. So naturally I had to combine the brownie and pudding and just for fun topped it off with cinnamon-toasted coconut that I toasted a couple days ago. 
I don't think I need to tell you that this was absolutely delicious. 
I imagine you're wondering where the recipe is, huh?
Well, that's the thing. I have a goal. A big one (for me). I want to put together a recipe book this year. And so I'm keeping recipes I love just for that book. This is one of them. So while I genuinely want to give you this recipe, I'm not. At least yet. :)
Stay tuned for more info on that book. And try out some of the other recipes I've posted. 
If you have any questions, please feel free to write me!
