Brownies are a bit of an addiction at my house. If I’m looking for a super easy brownie I might just pick up a couple of boxes of Ghiradelli brownie mix and make up a double batch, putting it all in one 13 x 9″ pan. (I like my brownies thick and tall and really [...]

During the week I like to have simple-to-make “go to” dishes that I can pull together quickly in between helping with homework and running kids to activities.
