Three awesome things happened yesterday. One, I got up at 7:30am (which is like sleeping in around here) and made some cinnamon rolls. Then, I took A NAP. Like, a NAP. On the couch. In the middle of the morning. And my husband took care of the girls and I slept, and it was FAN-tastic. I felt well-rested for the first time in months. Or years. Nearly eight years, to be precise.
Secondly, I bought a new cake stand and I'm kind of in love with it. My nearly eight year old (lack-of-sleep causer #1) and I did a bit of shopping and spent some much needed Mommy-Maddie time together, and she got a birthday-party dress and I got a new cake stand. It was a fun afternoon that ended with Starbucks and a Taylor Swift singalong on the ride home.
Finally, my four year old (lack of sleep causer #2) told me that she really likes her new school. This is big, huge news for me because the mom-guilt I've been living over the past few weeks has been Tearing. Me. Up. Leaving your kid while she's sobbing and reaching for you is heartbreaking, so for her to out-of-the-blue tell me that she likes school and is looking forward to going back is incredibly welcome news for this momma.
Oh, make that four awesome things, because these lovelies happened, too. Biscoff Truffle Brownies are definitely awesome.
The great thing about this recipe (besides the fact that they're totally YUM) is that they're much easier to make than they appear. An easy brownie recipe is baked and cooled, and then the Biscoff truffle filling is spread over the top. The ganache topping is made in the microwave, and after a few minutes in the refrigerator, it's ready to go.
If you aren't familiar with Biscoff cookie spread (or if you just don't like it) you can replace it with peanut butter - but I really love the subtle cookie flavor it gives the truffle filling. There are a few different brands out there now, and you can find it in the peanut butter section of most grocery stores. Trader Joe's cookie butter works, too.
Hope you love it! Enjoy!
