 Iâm going to let you in on a little secret today. Well, itâs really not a secret and you might have already figured it out if you read my blog posts regularly. My Mom is my best friend. Sheâs an amazing woman and sheâs my âpersonâ. She gets me. She doesnât judge me. She listens. She supports. Sheâs that person in my life that all of you wish you had in your life and I hope you do!
Sheâs so cool that my friends have often told me they love her too because of her kindness and love thatâs sheâs shown them over the years. She was that mom that would bake you and your friends cookies in high school at 10 pm because you asked and she rocks. True story.
My mom also rocks in the kitchen. This is where I get my talent from. Sheâs a recipe follower though and I think I stress her out just a little when I start throwing things in that arenât called for on the recipe. Over the years sheâs learned to look the other way when this happens and try to trust me.
There are some recipes that I donât dare alter and today Iâm sharing with you one of those. This is my motherâs secret weapon. The treat that everyone begs for. This is how my family bribes teenagers to come out and ârock pickâ in the spring. The promise of my momâs Fudgy Marshmallow Brownies. Iâm telling you these treats have powers. Iâm thinking if you are trying to snag a guy he will propose after one bite. I actually have no doubt in my mind that he will!Â
Today Iâm bringing you these fabulous brownies plus Iâm partnering with Bon Appetit and Epicurious to talk about the importance of face-to-face time in the kitchen. I love to spend time with my family in the kitchen weather it be my mom, Miss K, or other family members. I find it a great way to connect and bond with them. I remember licking the spatula and giggling over stories with Mom growing up and Miss K is quickly learning to grab the spatula and follow in my footsteps. I canât wait to create long lasting memories between Miss K and I plus Grandma while making treats!
Currently one of our favorites spots to create memories in the kitchen is at our cabin. We are up there a lot throughout the summer and everyone pitches in to help with meals. I usually head up the main dishes with Mom assisting then Grandma and Miss K are on clean up duty! Itâs so fun to watch my mom and Miss K interact while doing dishes. Miss K is talking a mile a minute nodding her head and making hilarious facial expressions and my Mom is giggling. These are memories Iâm going to cherish the rest of my life and Iâm pretty sure they are too!
{Dad & Mom â Thank you for everything youâve done for me in life! Dad you are always there to sample my treats and offer your support. Mom you have been there in ways every girl dreams their Mom will be. You two are my rocks.}
