Double Dessert Delight

I must admit, I've had those rice krispy treats stuck in my head for awhile now. When I think of desserts they sound good.. usually it's them or brownies that I think of first. Then cupcakes - but mostly brownies and rice krispy treats :) So why not combine the two? Take care of two cravings at once :)

It sounded good so I figured it was worth a shot... if nothing else, I could always separate the two layers and eat them separately.

I baked a box of Ghirardelli Ultimate Fudge Brownies (in a slightly larger pan than recommended so it tweaked the baking time just a little)... they're my favorite boxed brownie.  Then I added rice krispy treats on top. I also gave the rice krispy treats a little twist by making them coconut flavored. Then I put the chocolate from the brownie box on top. I think the chocolate may have been good in between the two layers too - and probably would've looked a little nicer as it was difficult to spread out correctly. However that was probably more from the larger pan size than the rice krispy treats in all reality.

Anyways - they were super easy and super yummy! The resulting dessert is decadent, rich, chocolatey... simply put... amazing!



Make and bake brownies per package directions - if you make it in the correct sized pan, just be sure you have tall enough sided to account for the rice krispy treats (that's why I used a bigger one). If you get a larger pan, shorten your time and check until done.



Remove brownies from oven and start on your rice krispy treats. I made mine with coconut oil and added coconut flakes as well. Once they were made, I poured them over the brownies and smoothed them out.


Once cool, I poured on the chocolate topping.



Allow topping to cool and then you're ready to enjoy :)

A Quinoa Experiment

Image
I've had a bag of red quinoa in my pantry for a long time. I originally got it to be part of a recipe that sounded good, but I didn't find all the ingredients at the time. I never really went back out to search and the quinoa just sat in the pantry. So finally I decided to make some and try something with it. And well, I'm going to pat myself on the back a little, this was one experiment I really liked! It came out so good that a few days later, I did made it again :) However, as a result, I honestly didn't take many pictures. Sorry about that. So here's the yummy red quinoa veggie salad... I didn't cook the quinoa exactly as the package said too - but you could and have it totally cold. Trust me, this is one dish that's yummy warm or cold :) I'm going to write it the way I made it though... not necessarily the way it should've been cooked.

Crock-Pot Salmon?

Image
I don't know about you, but I love my crock-pot! The ease of tossing things together, walking away, and coming back to some yummy food is wonderful! I honestly have yet to make something that hasn't come out good from the crock-pot! It's not always as pretty, but is sure is tasty! I was recently looking through a blog where a gal used her crock-pot every day for a whole year! I found lots of yummy ideas on her site, but the one that I just couldn't wait to try was salmon. Fish - from the crock-pot? This was unheard of for me... would it really taste good? Would it dry out? It was certainly worth a shot! She had done Salmon 5 different ways - with green beans  in January,  sweet and spicy  in March, lemon and dill in May,  Jamaican  in July, and cedar planked in December. I must admit, I still want to try the cedar plank as that sounds interesting to me. However, my inspiration for this one came from the sweet and spicy and the Jamaican one. They were both...

Cooling Down Part 1

Image
I must admit, ever since I did the Peach Tea post I've been thinking of other summer drinks. So over the  past week I've been having fun with some cool drinks. Tea came first to mind, understandably after the last one :) But I did take the time to get at least a little more creative with most of the drinks... the first one though was very similar to the  Peach Tea  - but it's not sun tea or peach so I did grow a little :) Generally I am all about water in all honesty. It's my go to drink of choice and I honestly do enjoy a good tall glass of water. I'll drink it hot - and I mean like hot tea water without the tea :) Or room temperature... sometimes iced, but in all honesty iced is usually my least favorite. I don't know what it is about it - but I like water. However, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other drinks to get my daily dose of liquids - sometimes a little flavor is pretty nice :) The tricky part is not getting too  much sugar - and yes, ...
