The mass tossing of crap I don’t want packing to move has commenced.  There was a lot of, “What is that?” and “Where did that come from?” and “Why do I have THAT?”  “Who’s is that?”  “This isn’t even mine.”  Somehow I inherited a bunch of crap…some of which isn’t even mine.  Since we’re downsizing, well, we’re downsizing.

 

You’d be surprised at what I DID find, though…

Yeah.  The whole friggin bag.  In a box.  In the closet.  Lord knows how it got there, what it was doing there, but I see mass quantities of cookies in my future.  Maybe some banana chip muffins?  PB chip cupcakes?  More nummy ganache filled stuff?  Who knows…  Whatever it is, it will be tasty.

 

I’ve started playing with brownies.  S isn’t a fan of cake or cupcakes.  My co-workers will be my guinea pigs on those, I guess.  So, I’m playing with brownies.  Same MO; low fat yet moist.  I know the two don’t usually go hand in hand.  That’s my goal though.  I know they’re not going to be like Ghirardelli, but I want them to be good AND healthy.  I mean, the two SHOULD be able to go together, right?

 

So, round 1…and they’re good!  I’m surprised.  But I shouldn’t be, I guess.

 

I love Chobani, so I thought I’d bake with it this time.

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine yogurt, sugar, egg substitute, vanilla extract, and instant coffee in a large mixing bowl.

    That is definitely a big bag of chocolate chips, but what delicious looking brownies you have made out of them. You can't go wrong with Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and I like the marbled effect.

      Yes and I've used about 1/3 of it? *sigh* Made some chocolate chip cookies for S this weekend. May have to make up some dough and just freeze it for later. Or just pack the bag up with us. Dunno yet.

    These look yummilicious. We moved to Honduras to do missionary work 7 years ago, after being married 32 years. 32 years of stuff in our house. We sold just about everything. You know, it was liberating. Funny though, here in Honduras, I built up a whole lot of "stuff" again. Oh well. That's how is goes. Have a great day.

      It IS amazing how much crap is built up in a living space. Some things I just have difficulty getting rid of…like my ORIGINTAL Tuperware play cooking set. That plastic rolling pin and mat just bring back so many memories of being the kithchen with Mom or Nanan. *sigh*

      Okay…nostalgia over!

    I hope that next time I dig around in the closest I find a bag of chocolate. And I'm not picky. Doesn't have to be chips. Sigh. All I ever find is crap!

    Awesome brownies! Thanks for linking.
