Peppermint Brownie Sundae

December 9, 2013 ·

This Peppermint Brownie Sundae is made with a fudgy brownie covered with peppermint ice cream and your favorite toppings. A classic and delicious combination is perfect for the Holidays!

This Peppermint Brownie Sundae starts with one of my favorite fudgy brownie recipes. The brownie is sturdy enough to withstand the ice cream topping without becoming soggy yet it melts in your mouth with fudgy goodness. A little peppermint extract to gives the brownies some Holiday flair, but that is optional. You get plenty of peppermint from the delicious peppermint ice cream! I wait all year for my favorite Edy’s Slow Churned Peppermint Wonderland ice cream that is a limited edition available through December. The fact that it is ridiculously rich and creamy with only half the fat and 1/3 fewer calories than regular ice cream is just a bonus.

So, two tablespoons Gourmet Garden ginger equals one tablespoon dried ginger….

Running to Feed People #ReliefinAction

December 4, 2013 ·

I am participating in a sponsored campaign hosted by Advil® as part of the Advil® Relief in Action campaign. I received compensation for this post. While all opinions stated are my own, I make no claims about Advil® as a product or its effectiveness.

For the past 10 weeks, in anticipation of the holidays, Wednesdays have been devoted to recipes for holiday treats. I will have a sweet treat for you later this week, but I am going to deviate a bit today to talk about another passion of mine – running. Not just running for fun, though I like to do that too. Today I want to talk about running to help feed people in need….
