TWD:Brrr ownies

Brrrr ownies
No it's not the brownies, but this is where we ate ours, Lake Powell UT/AZ . The majesty of Lake Powell is awe inspiring. The clear water, starry sky and layers of earth sandwiched together is indescribable in its beauty. It literally just takes your breath away.


Karen of Welcome to Our Crazy Blessed Life selected Brrrr-ownies for this weeks treat. We made these  moist, dark chocolaty and minty brownies before we left to Lake Powell.


Since we were long gone, I didn't read the P&Q to find out to pros and cons of this week's recipe. For us the brownies were just perfect. Not overly minty, moist but not too gooey and full of chocolate. Besides that, they travelled well and stayed fresh for a few days. We kept them in the cooler and they were the perfect cold and minty treat on those 100 degree afternoons. I definitely was not turning on an oven in the middle of the desert just for a brownie so everyone was glad that I had made these and brought them along.


Fish tacos were never fresher!

Wonderful pictures! I love Lake Powell. When we first started going there years ago, the water level was higher.

I wish I could reach into my computer screen and grab a couple of your delicious brownies!

Mimi, the brownies look so moist and chewy! Hope you enjoyed your trip; your photos are lovely. And fish tacos are the greatest food trend in years! I love trying all of the different recipes ever since I tasted my first fish taco last summer that my daughter prepared!
