Lent

So, I attempted to stay dessert free for hmm about one day! :-) I made these delicious Marble Cheesecake Brownies and couldn't resist trying one. With that being said, I'm giving up something different for Lent in hopes of actually committing to it and being able to keep my vow. I'm decided to give up Pop. I don't drink a lot of pop, but I drink enough to want to stop. So, my new goal is no Pop for the next 39 days! :-) We'll see how this one goes!

I got my wonderful recipe from a new baking cookbook my mom bought me for Christmas. It's called The Taste of Home Baking Book and it is amazing! I've only made two dishes out of it so far, but they did not disappoint! Get yours today!!

Lent

So, growing up it wasn't a huge deal in our family to give up something for lent. We aren't Catholic and therefore; we can still eat meat on Fridays, etc... I've decided this year that it would be beneficial and even healthy for me to give something up. I've decided to give up chocolate and cakes. Now, if you don't know me, you wouldn't know my obsession with Chocolate! I love Chocolate Kisses, Hershey Bars, Cookies, any kind of cake, etc... So, it is the start of a long 40 days for me. We'll see if I can do it. I'm sure my husband is doubtful, because there's always something chocolatey or dessert like in our home..... We also have a dinner party tonight where I am in charge of bringing the dessert!! Yikes! It will take some great willpower to pass up something I've made myself.... We'll see how everyone else likes my chocolate cheesecake brownies, as I will hopefully not know how delicious they are! :-)

What have you given up for Lent? Anything? Wish me luck!
