Never buy boxed browines

Seriously do you ever just crave brownies? Who doesn't right. I use to buy brownies out of a box cause well i was just lazy. Well one day i was in NEED of some chewy fudgy brownies so i did some searching and i found the best recipe. I have made these a lot. Not kidding i made these every week for a month!! We love them!I think they melt in your mouth.

 I'm gonna call them "The Best Brownies"
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter ( one stick) 
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract 
1/3 cup unsweetened coco powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder 
That's all!!
Directions:
1. Pre-heat over to 350* before you start, Grease a 8x8 square pan
2. In a large sauce pan, melt 1/2 cup of butter, Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup coco, 1/2 cup flour, salt and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
( You can also had chocolate chips or butterscotch chips)
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Don't over cook and don't forget a nice cold glass of milk to wash it down!
TIP;; always use a plastic knife to cut and it will cut like butter, all the way across!

One Year Old

Time sure does fly when your having fun, it also flies by when you have children. This past year has gone by so fast. I can still remember all the little things like when Emma first rolled over, or her first blow out. Being a mother is the best. When your small child reaches for you to give you a hug of just to sit in your lap it melts your heart. I did not know what true love was until i had Emma. I love my husband very much don't get me wrong but Emma grew inside of me for 9 months. She is part of me! 
 Emma is such a special little girl, she brings so much joy and happiness to our lives. We didn't throw her a party because we have no family in Texas. So we had a little get together at a restaurant with some of our close friends on Saturday. Small and fun!
Today though...man i think i woke up crying. My baby girl is ONE! I just love her so much!
Emma is walking everywhere
She is into EVERYTHING
She LOVES bath time
LOVES to read her book 
Does not like green beans
She eats everything we eat pizza, Mexican food, soup; she just LOVES food
She can say;; mama, dada, blue, mooo, up, ink (drink), ket (blanket) key (monkey)
She LOVES her blanket and monkey
She knows how to sign "all done"
She knows when i say " lets get our shoes on" we are going to leave the house, and will sit and lift her feet
She has SEVEN teeth
We are bottle FREE!
LOVES being outside and swimming
She laughs at the funniest times- like during prayers
Likes to sit in our big chairs
She is very sneaky
and likes to share, including already chewed food, yum 
She is 19 pounds and 28 inches long! 
Her favorite thing to eat well is everything but she really likes avocados, cheese and black beans
If you ask her what does a cow she she will say "moo"
She knows where Jesus is on our walls
I feel like she is such a fast learner and just soaks up everything we say
she is also very good at mimicking what we say...kinda scary 







 The oneise is from when she was just one week old size newborn and her one shirt is size 12 month
Well to start off Emma's birthday;;;
Best mom EVER.
She loved it
We than opened some of her gifts


She is one spoiled little girl!
We took our last chalk board pictures until she is two!


 I made her dress! 
 Not the best picture of me but i needed one of us together 
 Mmm funfetti it's a family tradition. 


She was not a fan of the sprinkles
We than had our first bubble bath, i'm pretty sure she loved it.

I can't tell you how much this little one means to me. 
I love you Emma Jane.

Some favorite Dinners

I want to share with you a few of our favorite recipes, all found on Pinterest. I would say about 90% of my meal planning comes from Pinterest. I'm addicted. 
Next time i will be doing a Sweet Treats Post.

Black Bean Soup with Cilantro Lime Rice 
 This is so yummy. I made it for the first time this week. I halved the recipe and i wont do that again because there was no leftovers. This meal is so good it reminds me of Chipotle. And you can not leave out the Tabasco! 

This makes A TON! I add hamburger, mushrooms, olives, and sometimes sliced up pepperoni!! You can't go wrong when your spaghetti is backed in garlic bread. This seriously could feed an army!

At first i was like "am i really going to get full on these" "are these really that good" That answer is YES! I can only eat barley two and I am stuffed! I also add fresh lime juice, and i mash up some avocado with the black beans. And a tip: cut your onion into tiny pieces (i use a slap chop) other wise its just to much onion.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
 There's not much to say about this one besides Easy and Delicious
( I add lime and extra hot sauce to mine)
. 
Soup in the summer? Yes! Who doesn't love cheese stuffed pasta! The recipe is rich in flavor and there is always leftovers. 

I had these at a church function awhile ago and i just had to have the recipe, well i forgot to ask for it. Later while looking on Pinterest...I FOUND THEM!! These are a must!! 
Make sure you have foil to cover these bad boys in the over cause they will get a bit to dark on top! 
( I never make a whole bag just whatever we want)
Southwestern Tilapia
We use to eat this like every week i was pregnant. I craved fish all the time. I wore my husband out on it but i still love it. I make it for lunch sometimes cause it is fast and easy!
(Can you tell yet we like lime)

One of my favorites. Easiest enchiladas ever! Don't use flour tortillas i used them once and will never to it again.
CROCK POT MEAL!! I usually will make this on a Sunday. Come home to dinner done and the house smelling AMAZING! I add a can of chopped green chilies.

Another favorite Sunday meal. I think i could eat this every week and be totally fine with it.

The Recipe is a little down on the page i promise! These are FULL of flavor. One of the spicier meals we have. Make sure if you fry your own tortillas you get them crunchy enough. I can never get mine hard and crunchy so i just by the shells

Things you may have learned from this post
We LOVE spicy
We LOVE lime
We LOVE Mexican food
And i'm kinda of in LOVE with soup over the summer
We like getting fat together 

These dishes feed our family of 3. We always have left overs for another night.

I also pin everything i make from Pintrest so come follow me
