Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Truth, Scrambled Part 2

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Another Brownie Tweak O Yummish

Ready for the next weird recipe?

I didn't believe my friend.

Why?

Well. As odd and tweaky as I'm willing to get, I just couldn't wrap my brain around this one.

Brownies.

Black Bean Brownies.

Okay. So you are likely gone and no one is reading this, but on the off chance that you are, they are stinking (no pun intended) good.

One brownie mix
One can of black beans (oh, please check as I almost DIDN'T, that it's just black beans and bean juice, not spices and bits of pepper!!!!)

That is the entire ingredient list. (my friend used the normal sized small can of beans and a small brownie mix, I used the big brownie mix and the same size can of beans...both worked)

Take can of black beans and run them thru the food processor till pasty. (Juice and all)
Add brownie mix and blend til fully combined.

Grease a pan. (whichever size your brownie mix calls for). Dump in the stuff. Bake as directed. Note: I had to add about 10 minutes to mine to set up the middle. So watch the time.

These are chewy and you seriously can not taste or feel the beans. I'm going to try it with a scratch brownie recipe and see if I can't cut some of the sugar, just because I can't leave well enough alone. But til then, these are pretty tasty and full of fiber. : ).

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Lookin to Make a Statement?

This could definitely make one.

Tom's Shoes is a cool organization that 23 and friends support. Cute shoes with an awesome bonus that makes a difference.

I probably won't participate in this, but eventually will buy (and share) a pair of Tom's.



Let me know if you do participate in the event. Something about the doctor's office setting and walking around barefoot makes me a little squeamish.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Seashore Shots

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Remade

God blessed me with the opportunity to share my testimony last night.

I guess I should be looking for opportunities to do this on a daily basis. But. My story is a long one. Very long.

God has been so good to me. So very, very good to restore and remake a life that had no hope.

And even after I shook my dusty fist at Him in my intention to control my own destiny that I ended up making sure my life was nothing but dust and dead skin cells and regret. And when I finally handed it over to Him, He shaped, shifted and molded those bits of despair into something that shouts of His magnificent power and grace.

Thank You, thank You, thank You, God Almighty, Author and Creator of the good bits of my life and redeemer of my messes.
