What I’m Thankful For

I decided to take a vacation day today so I could relax and get some baking and cooking done before Thanksgiving!

One of my goodies is a batch of pumpkin blondies . 🙂 They were super easy to make! (But the recipe called them chocolate brownies. I disagree since they aren’t very chocolately and they are not chocolate in color, so I’m calling them blondies!)

Also, as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I was sent some coupons for free Duncan Hines products for review. (As always, the product was free but the opinions are my own.) I couldn’t say no to that. I happened to pick up the chocolate frosting because I figured it would be delicious on top of the brownies and it would be easy instead of making my own. Don’t get me wrong, I love home-made frosting too, but sometimes the canned frosting is just quicker and tastes just as good.

The frosting has a delicious rich chocolate flavor and it made a great addition to the blondie, as they weren’t too sweet to begin with. It was a good choice.

I’m leaving you with a list of things I’m thankful for this year, since it is Thanksgiving tomorrow and all. 🙂
