Fudgy Brownies
When I want a brownie, I want one that is dense, fudgy and super chewy. No cakey brownies in this house! This one is based off a few different recipes with some additional tweaks to make it special.

Peach Scones
These tasty peach scones are amazing with fresh summer peaches but they work well with frozen too!
