"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand"

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.....life has been crazy, busy! :)
We got a special studio visit from Gwen Beauchamp this morning. She's the mom from Lancaster, Texas that won the America's Favorite Recipe Award in the Pillsbury Bake Off Contest. She brought us a batch of her Toffee Banana Brownies and they were SO yummy. I was especially impressed at how moist they were...I think that's a little gift from the bananas.
I wanted to share her recipe with y'all.. Believe me, the hubby is gonna LOVE these!
By the way, it you've got a recipe that your little one's or honey LOVE, please e-mail it to me. It's always nice to have a new recipe to whip up in the kitchen.
Y'all have a blessed weekend!
