MMmmmm Brownies!

I Love Brownies... when I was little brownies with walnuts was one of my favorite treats!

Today I thought it would be a good idea to make homemade brownies with one of my little girls.... With OUT a Hand Held Mixer....yes sometimes I think I am out of my mind!

But today is Sunday and I always like to have a treat after Sunday Dinner; tonight we are having Baked Salmon with  Hot Sesame Spaghetti.

Anyways...Brownies... I was thinking this can be easy with no mixer... they made all kind of yummy treats by hand before they had a mixer why can't I?

 So here I am trying to "mix" the sugar and the butter together with my rubber spatula and cutting it with two knives.... and I am finding its just not wanting to cream together. My Little girl is asking me ...."Can we used this Mommy? Or why not use that Mommy?" And just when I thought about giving up and digging my hands full into the gritty Mixture.... When My beloved husband walks in with an inexpensive hand held Mixer. That Made Our Day... brownies that take maybe 20 minutes to make was almost going to take 2 hours... That was not including bake time!

They are in the Oven now, and I hope they turn out to be everything I imaged... Thanks to my Husband for saving the day!
