About
 Hi! Welcome to Brownies for Dinner. My name is Patricia. I have a raging sweet tooth and an unconditional love for butter. And I’ve spent the better part of my thirty-something years under the thumb of that dynamic duo (there’s plenty of proof around here). And yes, I have eaten brownies for dinner.But recently I have made a few realizations. I want to be healthy inside and out. I want to live a long life with my loved ones, and to do this it matters what I eat. I’ve adopted a new approach to food. One that includes more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins… you know, that old song and dance. But it’s not enough for me to “eat healthy”, I need the food I eat to taste good. If it doesn’t, I won’t eat it. I want delicious food not health food. I’m still learning how to find that balance, but I expect it to be an interesting journey. I’m not turning my back entirely on sugar and butter, but I’m finding ways to control them instead of the other way around. This blog is a chronicle of my experiments and adventures. Let’s stay in touch:

My cast of characters: Dan is my best friend and #1 taste tester. We were friends for several years before we started dating two years ago. I used to tell him about all of my boy problems and he would give me sound advice that I never did take. Then again he never took any of mine either (so there!). One day, we found ourselves single at the same time. He told me he was going to ask me out… in two weeks. Say what?
Dan has two sons. They are characters (example: the younger one dubbed himself the Jello Dude). I sometimes refer to them as “the boys”. They are both spitting images of their dad but each has his own flair. [btw – Did you know “boy energy” is really different from “girl energy”? Before Dan and I started dating, I had no clue… I mean, I grew up as a quiet girl with just enough energy to eat cake while watching I Dream of Jeannie reruns. But these boys… whew. I wish I could bottle it).
Raven is my OCD cat with intimacy issues. She’ll sit next to me and just stare. It’s kind of creepy sometimes. |
