Notes

I think it’ safe to say that we’ve finally thrown away the bug out of our home. We still need some Vitamin boost here and there but I’m happy we’re feeling better now.

Thanks to Aussie Oranges for sending over some bright citrus love, we very much got the immune system boost we needed… and more. Since they sent over a big bag of oranges, I got to make this Chocolate Orange Walnut Brownies.

We all love fudgy brownies at home and this has got to be the fudgiest brownies I’ve made yet. You know, I used to dislike chocolate and orange together. Put anything together with chocolate and I’m sure to love it — raisins, nuts, caramel, mint, — just about anything. It’s just now that I’ve learned to love it. I think I’m gonna see more of these brownies at home…

What do I love about these Aussie Oranges? Well, they’re sweet, juicy, seedless, delicious, untreated, and fungicide-free. They are guaranteed safe to eat, and delicious. Just the kind of fruit to get you through the busiest of your busiest day!

This week we are trying to finish as much errands and household chores as we can. peanutbutter♥ will be back to work on friday and I know there will be some major adjustments at home. This has got to be my busiest week! But I’m not fretting, I’ve got a feeling I’m gonna be finishing this week on a high note and this will be one of my best weeks.
