Hmmmmm.....Brownies. Is there anything better in this world? I don't think so. Now, there may be things as good, but certainly not better. Currently, I am on a mission, quest or maybe a beat you in the ground contest (okay, that may be a bit harsh) to lose some weight. How am I doing this (not by eating brownies!) you might ask? Well, eating healthy (thanks W.W.) and exercising each day. Not fun, not easy, but it is happening. So, how do these brownies figure in to this equation? Well, we are having a Evening Relief Society meeting (women's church meeting) tonight and I passed around sign ups for brownies. We did not have quite enough people sign up so I am making two pans of them. Oh, my house smells delicious! One pan a double chocolate batch and the other mint. hmmmmm......heaven, but it feels like I am in a very different place! Now, you might say that all things are okay in moderation. That might be true, but I have never been able to do brownies in moderation. I could eat this whole pan of brownies in one day, by myself. (don't judge!) I know that I will be coming home with leftovers and would like to let my kids and husband sample.........but I am not sure I can stand the temptation! Why, oh why do brownies have to be so delicious?

I LOVE brownies. I feel your pain. Good luck holding on to your will power. You're a better woman than me if you can.
Those brownies look delish! And one thing that might be better? Brownie batter! Good for you with you goals and just posting this says you're going to do great with w.w.!
Hmm, funny, I am making brownies tonight too!! Funny!!
I wonder if I have any chocolate in the house???
Jen, thanks for the 'feeling my pain'. It stinks, huh?
Hiroko, they were soooo good. I ended up having one. When I got home with leftovers I made sure there was enough for my kids and James and then promptly took the rest to a neighbors. I guess I can do moderation if I give them all away! lol
Katie, hope they tasted good! :)
Missy, a good house always has some chocolate in it....somewhere. If not, quickly run to the store. :)
A pan of brownies that are nothing but edges is the best. I still have you beat.
Josh, those are still brownies. I didn't say anything about what type of pan made them better. :) Did you enjoy yours last night?
They weren't for us... Josh had some leftovers, but they were made with someone else in mind. :) I don't just bake for my husband - I'm not that nice.
I should, but I never say no to brownies. And I can't judge. I could also eat the whole pan. And I have. Many, many times. Why are baked goods so delicious?
