Best Homemade Chewy Brownies

September 16, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 4 Comments

How do you like your brownies? More cake like?? Or do you like more chewy fudge like brownies similar to the kind from a box mix? I used to always make my One Bowl Brownie recipe but I guess my tastes changed. While that recipe is really good, it definitely makes a more cake like brownie and now I prefer a more fudge like brownie. My favorite store bought brownie mix is the Ghirardelli Triple

Protein Overnight Oats

August 9, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

What is your favorite breakfast? I am a big fan of oats (in some form) for breakfast. I had heard people say that it was not an ideal breakfast because it spikes your blood sugar and that you should start your day with protein instead. Well I have found a way to still enjoy my morning oats, but with extra fiber and protein so it does not spike my blood sugars! It is nothing like those sugar laden

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
