FAT WITCH BROWNIES!!!

fat witch


INGREDIENTS
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter (I used salted butter and omitted the extra salt at the end of the recipe)
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) bittersweet chocolate chips
16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unbleached flour (I used bleached, it was all I had)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking pan. Preheat the oven to 350.
Melt the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Set aside to cool.
Beat the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Beat in 1 egg and set the mixture aside.
Place the remaining 1 1/4 cups of sugar in a large bowl and beat in the remaining 3 eggs, one at a time until smooth. Add the vanilla and the chocolate mixture and mix until well blended.
Measure the flour and salt and then sift together directly into the chocolate batter. Mix the batter gently until well combined and no trace of the dry ingredients remains.
Spread three-quarters of the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate layer in the pan. Then gently pour the remaining chocolate batter over the top of the cream cheese layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Dip a rounded edge knife in the pan and lift straight up, creating a marbled effect in the batter. Repeat to create a pattern, either random or in rows.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only crumbs, not batter, on it.
Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 1 1/2 hours. Freeze brownies in the pan for 45 minutes. Cut just before serving. Wrap any uneaten pieces with plastic or foil and return to the freezer.
Do I even need to tell you that these brownies were delicious?

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

   This comes from www.thatvillagehouse.blogspot.com .  I made something similar a couple years ago, without the pots.  It was about 6 feet high.  I got the inspiration from a Chirstmas dectoration that we bought at Target. This is a very good idea and make a great enterance to your home.  So here's a little something to thing about for next year.  Before you know it December will be here again.  You could also do something like this for an Easter theme.   Enjoy! A Merry Welcome! So here is my first Christmas project for the year!! I saw something similar at our church's Advent celebration & pretty much straight up copied it. I couldn't help it. It was love at first sight! I plan to make a 2nd stack to go on the other side of my door, so I'm not completely done, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes. I used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run

SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL FROM JAPAN!!!

     The Sapporo Snow Festival is a famous festival held annually in Sapporo, Japan, over 7 days in February.  Currently, Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome are the main sites of the festival.  The 2011 Yuki-matsuri dates are February 7th to the 13th.    The festival is one of Japan's largest and most distinctive winter events.  In 2007, about 2 million people visited Sapporo to see the hundreds of snow statues and ice sculptures at the Odori Park and Suskino sites, in central Sapporo, and the Satoland site.  The festival is thought to be an opportunity for promoting international relations. The International Snow Sculpture Contest has been held at the Odori Park sit since 1974, and teams from various regions of the world participate.      The subject of the statues varies and often features as event, famous building or person from the previous yer.  For example, in 2004, there were statues of Hideki Matsui, the famous baseball player who at that time pl
