Pardon the random blogs I put on here. Sometimes I send stuff to my blog that I don't want to forget about or that I want to show someone else. I'm sure it's simple but I have not been able to send myself e-mails. I think I know how but for some reason my computer won't do it anyway. I must be missing something. So, I just send things to the blog because I know how to do that. The one I sent below is pretty good though if you want to check it out. I am fascinated with the Duggar family!
I made some really good brownies today! I got the recipe from a lady at church. If you lick the pot with the chocolate and coconut oil alone (which the kids and I did, it is very tasty. I'm actually going to experiment and see if I can make a healthier version of Buckeyes with it. My friend, Kelly (Teach and Tickle), submitted a recipe for those in our church cookbook and, let me tell you, we love those! They just happen to have a bunch of powdered sugar and butter in them and are good for special occasions but I made them twice in one week the other week! I'll let you know if they turn out or taste very good! ;)
Banana Brownies
2 1/2 cups flour (I used 1 cup of wheat flour for one of those cups.)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (I used the Special Dark dark chocolate.)
1 cup butter, divided (I used 1/2 cup of Virgin Coconut Oil to melt the chocolate with instead.)
1 cup sugar (I used brown.)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 cups pureed very ripe bananas ( My bananas weren't overripe but they blended into a good puree.)
Mix well flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Place chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter (or coconut oil) in pot over low heat, continually stirring until smooth.
In medium bowl cream remaining 1/2 cup butter and the sugar until light; beat in eggs, milk, and bananas. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in chocolate, leaving mixture slightly marbelized. Turn into greased 13X9-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until sides just begin to pull away from pan. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into bars.

glad you like the Buckeyes too! I don't think I've ever made them twice in one week though!
I am hoping to learn from the Duggars too. I like that chart, but will modify some of the definitions. One thing she said in her book is that they taught motions with the character qualities, so I am going to try that since the kids like anything that has motions. But I just got my DVD in the mail of 17 and counting (last season I guess?) and I hadn't seen any of them so I'm enjoying watching it. I am hoping her gentleness will rub off! I noticed when she corrects her kids she gets down on eye level and very very gently but firmly corrects them. I am going to work on that. As opposed to yelling at my poor children! :)
