It’s Friday AND a long weekend for the Memorial Day holiday so we should celebrate with, what else, food.  How about some brownies?  They are a crowd pleaser and easy to make.  Oh yes, they will do just fine.  I’ve got a couple of kick butt recipes already, but these are different from what I’ve done.  These brownies are gluten-free! These brownies are loaded with chocolate fudgy goodness and have a hint of peanut butter flavor. Flourless Chocolate And Peanut Butter Fudgy Brownies Recipe (About 16 servings) Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter (equivalent to 1 stick) 2 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided …

These gooey cookie bars are loaded with chocolate, coconut, and nuts. Magic …

Since then a million bazillion brownie recipes have been invented.  (Yes, I counted.     😉 )  They can be fudgy or …

As St. Patty’s Day approaches, I’m seeing more green colored food online (i.e. pinterest.com and all the various social media outlets).  I simply can’t go there.  Not for the lack of spirit, but because it looks unappealing to me.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a little green color in my food, but I’ve never been one to want green eggs and ham.  I do, however, love mint and mint is notoriously green colored (even if not naturally so). In honor of the one day a year when everyone is Irish, I was inspired to create these bar cookies which are loaded with …

February 22nd marks the 1st anniversary of my blog (AKA blog-iversary)! There I was, in the middle of the winter of 2013, wearing sweat pants, and soon to be turning another thirty “something.”  I needed a change and I wanted an outlet to connect better with my family.  Was starting a blog my answer?  (See my answer below.)  I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned about myself, the blogging world, photography, and so many other things along the way.  I’ve met so many wonderful people and made many great friends along the way.  Honestly, the history of Tina’s Chic Corner …
