A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Mmm brownies

This is totally not my picture, BUT i didn't take one of my own, oops!

Bongo Bars, better known as the most delicious tasting brownie/cookie ever!!!!

Jason even ate them and he doesn't usually eat desserts.


These were so easy and so good, i will be making them many more times. We were going to a bbq with some friends and i wanted to make something good and after asking Jason and getting his typical "dunno" answer i made him pick something and he said he wanted a chocolate chip cookie cake.

I got on pinterest and after searching for cake recipes and not coming up with anything other then i giant cookie, i searched for Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies and still had a lot of browsing to do until i saw this gem. This is about as easy as it gets when it comes to baking.

So here is the recipe:

3/4 Cup Butter
2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 3/4 Cups Flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
Bag of chocolate Chips
1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter in microwave and add brown sugar so it makes like a paste. Add in the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) and mix as best as you can. It will seem really dry at this point but don't add any extra liquid. Next add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until kind of blended and then add in the bag of choc chips. The original recipe says DO NOT OVER MIX OR THEY WONT TURN OUT. So just mix it until everything seems incorporated together and then stop.

I used a greased 11x7 glass pan and baked them at 350 for 30 minutes. I did the toothpick test and left it in the oven about 5 more minutes then did it again. It didn't come out clean but i didn't want it to because i still wanted it to have the cookie ooey gooeyness to it.

I hope you guys enjoy these as much as we did.
