This is just another variation on Gloria’s banana brownies, but I thought I’d post a picture because the Oreos worked out really well. Plus, I think these would be perfect for Halloween if made with the Halloween colored (orange filled) Oreos. Recipe Here — just add in about a half cup of broken Oreos. I [...]

Last night’s conversation about the Chex contest led to another discussion about favorite recipes – specifically, ones you consider your own. My friend told me she had this amazing brownie recipe. She’d been making it for years and it even won a brownie baking challenge at work. I had to have this …
