So I love brownies. And I love ornaments. And I love Christmas.

These are pretty much the perfect Christmas treat!!! (At least they are in my opinion!)

Make brownies.

Use these cookie cutters below to cut them out.

(And yes, because I know you’re wondering…and perhaps needing permission??? You are 100% supposed to eat the parts of the brownies that don’t get turned into the ornaments…WHILE YOU ARE DECORATING THEM!)

Ok, just needed to be clear on the importance of running that quality control on the actual brownies. 😉

This is the time when I give the icing and gel to the boys and just let them go crazy decorating their own ornaments.

And the tootsie roll? It’s to flatten to make the “top/holder” of the ornament (look for them closely in the top photo up there.)

Ho – ho – ho – Merry Brownie Christmas!

6-Quart Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer for $219 ~ Amazon’s Deal of Day!

Wha? Wha??? Cyber Monday just got SWEETER!

I was bummed that I didn’t see this deal earlier in the week from Amazon. And yesterday, I’d pretty much lost hope. And I woke up to check the Deal of the Day and HALLELUJAH starting running through my head. 😉

Deal of the Day on Amazon – BOTH Blendtec Blender (tap here for that one) AND KitchenAid Stand Mixer!

IT’S LIKE A HOME CHEF’S DREAM COME TRUE…

When the normally really expensive, but so worth it products are on mega discount!

I use my stand mixer every single week – it make the best batters, cookie doughs and I use it to shred chicken too!

If this is anywhere near your holiday list this year, this 6-quart is at its best price…ad you don’t have to jump through cash back and rebate hopes to get it (I’m looking at you Kohl’s!)

41% off New Blendtec Designer Blender ~ $238 on Amazon’s Cyber Monday!!!

Blendtec Deal of the Day on Amazon! (Also, the 6-qt KitchenAid Stand Mixer is another deal of the day!)

If I had to invest in 2 things for my kitchen, they would be these items. (And by invest, I mean…spend more money for amazing quality to get amazing results.)

1. A Weber grill.
2. A Blendtec blender.

No one is telling me to say that. They are just great brands that yield amazing results. Perfect grilled food. Perfectly blended smoothies, or soup, or ice cream.

BUT.

That’s not to say that I’m not going to be on the lookout for an amazing deal. Because Blendtecs are expensive.

But they are not that expensive today! Last year I saw them as low as $280, and I’ve never seen them this low!!!

I should also add this is a NEW blender, not a reconditioned or refurbished blender! If you have a thing for “new,” then get this blender now
