Note Cards

I'm calling these note cards 'cause they're a little smaller than the ones I usually make.  And I'll be giving these away in a drawing!

You can enter the drawing by commenting here or emailing me at JalnaA@aol.com.  I'll announce the winner next week Saturday on June 6th. 

Good luck!

King Arthur Brownie Mix

I saw this brownie mix at Ross and was wondering how it would turn out because it was "gluten free", but I thought I'd try it anyway because Wendell likes desserts and I've been lazy to bake lately, and this seemed easy enough.

I followed the instructions for a more cake-like, less fudgey brownie, added chocolate chips and nuts, and it came out good!

It was $4.99 which is not a huge Ross savings since Amazon has it for $5.47.
