Coffee Frosting topped Best Brownie

My boy, Bryce, who just turned 8 this past Saturday is not a fan of cake, or cookies....he would rather have nothing than choose to eat a piece of cake or a cookie, so birthday parties can become a challenge when thinking up an appropriate dessert to  make the Birthday Boy happy.

Bryce LOVES brownies.  I haven't used a box brownie mix in a few years now and it's all because of this recipe for Easy Best Brownies, made from scratch, they are not only super easy to make, but are so much more delicious than the boxed mix variety.  Topping them with a dab of Coffee Frosting, also super easy to make from scratch, was the ticket for Bryce's 8th birthday party.

Pumpkin Brownies

Some days I wake up and am immediately in the mood for baking.  This occurs more often as autumn comes into view.  Maybe it's all the pumpkin recipes that are flooding the Food Network channel right now or maybe it's receiving the fall issues of my foodie magazines that are being delivered to my mailbox lately.  Well, whatever the reason, today was a day to try Pumpkin Brownies. 

You can add almost anything to brownies and call it good, right?!

So, I hunkered down, made myself a homemade pumpkin spiced latte and got to mixin'.

How The Pioneer Woman Helped Bryce Win a Ribbon

Our county fair is going on right now and Bryce, my six year old, being in 4H with cooking as his project, entered a couple of baked  goods in the fair.  One of them being the Pioneer Woman's Best Basic Brownie recipe from her Tasty Kitchen site.

We've baked them before, and I swore I would never make brownies from a box again.  Amen. 

They are that good.

And guess what,
