Brownie Heaven

Today was a crazy day! I had originally wanted to cook cook cook all day long, but unfortunately cleaning my garage came first.

For dinner we enjoyed "steak bites" with horseradish and steak sauce, with some roasted asparagus and zucchini... I added in some "non-homemade" biscuits (Hello Pillsbury!) which turned out just as expected. Yum yum! Lazy evening, boyfriend is already asleep... so I made some brownies that I will get to enjoy ALL BY MYSELF! ... Diet, what?!

SO MANY MARSHMALLOWS!

Marshmallows... on sale... so many of them but nothing to do with them! I really wanted Rice Krispie treats, but no Rice Krispies... so I made Fruit Loop Treats?... sure, I'll call them that.

I am pretty sure anything with melted marshmallows and butter has to be delicious, because this was amazing. I wish I had a recipe to share, but I kind of just threw stuff in the pot and then spread it out into the pan. De-licious. Super marshmallowy.

Before the Fruit Loop Treats I made Pumpkin Zucchini bread with walnuts for a coworker that's had a rough week. Obviously i'm selfish and definitely kept a loaf for myself and MMMMMMMMM did it turn out good! A bit strong with so much cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg... but I still think it's pretty tasty!

P.S. - Picture is from my phone, will do my best to get a new one soon!

Fresh Alaskan Salmon and Roasted Vegetables

Holy crap.

Ollie acquired some unbelievably delicious fresh caught Alaskan Salmon, that looked unbelievably amazing. I whipped up some lemon/onion salmon, with sea salt and a sprinkle of pepper. YUM! Along with that, some brown rice pilaf, roasted Brussels sprouts, zucchini and yellow squash. Um, yes, I drooled. I had not tried Brussels sprouts before, I was so excited that they turned out so amazing! Thanks to my friend Sarah (Ripley Eats) I finally got up the courage to try them.

Fred Meyer was also having a fantastic sale on reusable grocery bags, so I was pleased to purchase two of them. So cute!

Ensalada!

Burned the Brussels a bit, but not too bad!

Let's Back Track!

Dessert competition for our work picnic over, and sadly I did lose. BUT! Now you can see all the marvelous things I've made this week. It's been a crazy, crazy week but now, in a series of blogs (I tried one REALLY long one, but I thought that would probably bore you to death) Read along with me, and please enjoy some with pictures and some without.

To tide you over to the next blog, here's a picture of my adorable dogs.
