Cardamom Pistachio Brownies

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe with you for at least a week now, but things got busy.  We went to Portland, OR for the long weekend and I decided it would be more fun if I avoided the computer for a few days.  We got to see some friends, eat maple-bacon waffles and donuts, complete a 12-mile in and out hike to a waterfall, and visit Cannon Beach.  I was particularly excited to go to the beach since we used to pile into the car, put on the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, and drive there for long weekends when I was a kid.  It was on those drives that I perfected the art of sleeping in the car.

Fudge Drops

Hi there!  It has been a busy few weeks.  You can rest assured that I have been baking and tinkering around in the kitchen even if I haven't been posting.  I'm sure my lack of posts was at the forefront of your thoughts.  Truth be told, I'm only posting this now because I wrote part of it on my cell phone on my way home from work.  I hadn't even thought about doing that until Nancy reminded me today that I have finally joined the modern age of smart phones and have a handy little computer at my finger tips.  Thanks, Nancy!  How convenient!  I love multitasking!

Fudgy Coconut Brownies

Hi, there!  It's been a while.  Even though I haven't been posting, I've been thinking about you and the perfect recipe to share with you!  First, I'll list off my excuses for not posting: 1) an incredibly relaxing vacation on the beach in Maine with no cell service, no TV, and no Internet; 2) a 4-day power outage; and 3) general laziness.  Yes, I am admitting to succumbing to laziness.  Now that we're done talking about why I didn't post anything, we can move on to the exciting topic of these brownies.

Fudge-Topped Brownies

How have I been posting for this many months and not shared a brownie recipe with you?  I hope you’ve looked past that little shortcoming.  What is more exciting than a perfect brownie studded with walnuts and topped with a layer of fudgy frosting?  Maybe a brownie that is sandwiched between an oatmeal crust and a layer of fudgy frosting?  I hope that is your answer, because that is the recipe that I’m sharing with you.
