A little bit about me and some of my favourite things ….

Snuggles with my two little ones. They are my whole heart. Date nights with my husband to the same four restaurants lol. We are creatures of habit. Wine, preferably red, or Prosecco. Tea and lots of it. My garden is my happy place. I have a small flower farm and flower stand and I hope to expand this passion of mine. We have four hilarious little ducks, 1 Indian Runner and 3 Muscovy. Strolls around our beautiful neighbourhood. Cozy coffee shops and skinny vanilla lattes or London Fogs. The ocean is SO good for my soul, I could never live away from it. Dark dark chocolate. Movies and cuddles on the couch. I looooove Maui. Boots all year round, definitely. Sushi. I am proud to be Canadian. I will own a french bulldog one day. Places I have travelled: England, France, Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Mexico, Oahu and Maui and a few more little snippets of Canada and the U.S. I hate being late. Pinterest, I am obsessed. Instagram, I am relatively new to it, but fully addicted. My mom is one of my best friends. I have a growing cookbook collection. I try to practice living a life full of gratitude. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day, Kim :)

Favourite Things Friday

July 16, 2010

I was sitting on my back deck soaking in the sun (wearing sunscreen of course!) enjoying a blue freezie and trying to decide what I should post for this weeks Favourite Things. There was the cute new dress I have my eye on at Ruche, or the soft serve ice cream at the Beacon Drive Inn, or my iPhone apps I couldn’t live without. Even though I could write a post on any of those, I had the strong urge to give into my brownie craving and post my favourite brownie recipe in the world.

Those of you who have not heard of the Smitten Kitchen food blog MUST check it out. However, I must warn you that you may end up spending hours crusing Deb’s blog and drooling over her amazing creations. This blog inspires me to cook and create in the kitchen. I may even go so far to say that I may have a slight obsession with this site. I am a food blog addict. Admission is the first step, right ?!

So if you love cooking or baking I guarantee you will love her site. I first made these brownies about six months ago. I made them 3 times in that first week. I promise I didn’t eat them all myself. But I could have! They are so delish. They are the perfect combination of moist and chewy and will satisfy that chocolate craving in a heartbeat. I have brought them to parties and baked them as thank you gifts and they are always a huge hit. So if you want to make THE BEST brownies please click this link to chocolate heaven.

You will not be disappointed !!

And because every post is better with a picture. Her is a quick teaser for Mel and Dave of their super cute little man, Linden. Seriously, how cute is this ?!
