Brownies He Can’t Resist!

October 3, 2012 by Darlene Schacht Leave a Comment

The other day our facebook group got into a discussion about the book Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs when I posted this quote:

This is not about the husband deserving respect; it is about the wife being willing to treat her husband respectfully without conditions.
~ Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

Out of the many comments I received, one stood out from the crowd:

When I get upset with my husband I bake him brownies. I get all the frustration out beating the batter by hand and I am able to be obedient to the Word by blessing him and cursing him. It’s really hard for a man to be mean to a woman with a big ole plate of brownies. ~ Jan

Isn’t Jan delightful? She cracks me up and inspires me to bake all at the same time!

And so with that in mind I’ve decided to share a brownie recipe with you.

This one is from Rebecca of Rebecca’s Hearth and Home.
Thanks, Rebecca!

One-Bowl Brownies 
(This recipe is as good as any boxed brownie mix that we’ve ever tried without all the extra hydrogenated junk added! Enjoy!)

2 cups sugar (we’ve actually cut this down to 1 cup and like them just as much)
1 1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
2/3 cup olive oil
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla

In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and nuts. Add oil, eggs and vanilla; stir just until moistened. Do not overmix. Spread in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen.

And…

I’m over at The Better Mom today sharing a post called: 
“You Complete me And Other Ridiculous Notions.”
Hope to see you over there! 
 

You are loved by an almighty God,

Kind Words

candace1

"I'm absolutely in awe of your writing, the way you pulled biblical principles and weaved them into life application. I'm amazed at how you were able to expand upon simple words like action, self discipline, motivation, intention, etc.--and write thought provoking information to actually help one change their mind-set and pursue their goals.

The way you weaved my stories into all these principles leaves me speechless."

- Candace Cameron Bure, Actress, speaker, and NYT Best-Selling Author
