ed was nipping my heels
so
writing about food was
maybe 107th on my list
of preferred topics
but
maybe you should know that
i like to
cook
and
bake
and
eat
and
maybe you should know about
the tasty treat called
cream cheese brownies
and
maybe you should know
that i find this affinity for baked goods
nothing short of
miraculous

I'm so copying down this recipe. Thanks, Kendal. Cooking isn't my passion, but eating is. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do love baking, too.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never intended to make such a big deal about food on my blog, but somewhere along the line I realized I wrote about food approximately once a week. I thought, Why not turn it into a "carnival"?
So I did. I started a little gathering for people who write about food, called Food on Fridays. And over time, I guess I'm sort of a part-time food blogger. So...be careful. Next thing you know, people will be turning to you for all things baked!
Kendall, I love this honest and delicious post. I always feel fed by your words. Blessings your way from far away in this bloggy world.
ReplyDeleteoh kendal. God has done wondrous things in our lives. i say this while drinking wine and eating dark chocolate, and drooling over this recipe. i say this in utter, thankful, freedom. and i weep. we are so blessed. praying for this healing for others. (would you pray for my friend, kendal? her name is jelena, and she is on death's doorstep with an ED... thank you. xo)
ReplyDeletelooks pretty good. I am sure this is a winner! {I'm glad I'm full right now} or I'd be making them... right... now!
