Peanut Butter Cinnamon Brownies


This week I caved and bought some store bought peanut butter brownies. They were okay but they were missing something.  They were missing TLC.
So this morning the baking bug hit me and I decided to try making my own peanut butter brownie. It has been forever since I have made brownies from scratch and I forgot just how easy it is! So here is the recipe and pictures. I hope that you have as much fun as I did making these.


Half a stick of margarine, melted
Half a cup of granulated sugar
Half a cup of firmly packed brown sugar
Two eggs
One teaspoon vanilla (All I had was imitation but it works)
Half a cup of AP flour
One teaspoon ground cinnamon
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
Half a cup of peanut butter (Crunchy is really good in this but all I had was creamy)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, and baking powder; add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just moistened. Add you peanut butter and mix in. (At this point I added a half bag of chocolate chips but that’s just me.)
Put the mixture into a greased 11*7 pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nice and set.  Cool completely in the pan and cut into squares to serve.

Yield: about 2 dozen brownies

Okay readers, you may have to hang in there with me tonight. I am not feeling to good I want to go bed but it's one of those things where I can't sleep. So I decided to take some time for myself to write and relax. I lit a candle, changed into my jammies and have slow music on Paandora. See, I am feeling better already! Yesterday was great day and Kara was being so good that I decided we would cook together! Now that is something we had not tried until yesterday so I was taking a big risk. I knew that we would most likely end up in disaster. I was pleasantly surprised though and we only had 2 incidents that involved tears. She doesn't really understand the whole taking turns thing yet. So by now you must be wondering what we made. I started out looking for ingredients for dinner but then I found a can of pumpkin. I turned it around and found that I had all I needed to make a pie! Pumpkin Pie is one of Josh's favorite foods. I don't really like it but because I...

A Busy Mom's Guide to Being Sick

Yuck! The famous stomach bug has landed at our house. Fortunately, it isn't the kind that makes you want to die, it just clings to you and makes you super tired and icky. Because of this I did not go to work today. I hate calling in! I always feel like my boss will never understand, this is silly because she is actually really good about being understanding.  So if I don't need to feel worried I begin to feel guilty. Guilty that I am taking the day to lay around and recoup. I have a million things to do and Kara needs my attention, I can't just lay in bed I tell myself. Yeah, you know you have done it too! In that case I normally get up and do too much and make myself sicker than I was originally. Thus, the cycle starts over! Today I decided I would be good to my body and try to rest. But I still had so much to do! So to ease my feelings I decided to find things that I could do from either my bed or couch, all the while keeping Kara entertained. I started out working ...
