That Good Salad

I made this salad to go with our Valentine's dinner last week. Nelson even liked this salad, a lot, and he doesn't like salad.

Super yummy. Use fresh lemons for the dressing, not the bottled juice.

Best Brownies

Here's a link to some seriously yummy brownies I made yesterday. Delicious.

I made a few changes:
For the batter I added some milk chocolate chips (not necessary, I just like it that way).
For the frosting I used about 2/3 or 3/4 cup powdered sugar (this is less than the recipe called for) and I added about 1 to 1 1/2 tsp milk.

Honestly these are so good, and very rich. Yum, yum. I made them for book group, but liked them so much I decided they needed to stay home for my own family.
