Fools Spring

You've probably seen this meme before, but I had to share it, because it makes me laugh and it's true.  This is what's been happening in our area this past week.

We had such beautiful weather on Wednesday and Thursday, temps in the 50's and sunshine!

Bob and I took a walk on nice clear roads!

This is the drive to Bob's wood shop. Earlier in the week there was so much snow on it that it wasn't driveable.

Down the road from us, the horses were enjoying the sunshine.

This cute little donkey came up to greet us.

Look at that beautiful blue sky!

I even opened the slider and let some fresh air in.

On Friday it started snowing again and we were all sad, although we knew that nice weather wouldn't last.  But, we also know that Spring will be coming!

Cooking Thursday

A few weeks ago, I needed to make a treat and came across this recipe. It was for boxed brownies but doctored up. They looked good so I made them - and yum!  Fudgy brownie, oreo, cream cheese and ganache - oh my goodness.  That being said, they are really rich!  I cut the pieces small, you wouldn't want to eat a lot. 
These would be good for a treat to bring away, cut into very small squares!

Oreo Truffle Brownies

1 box brownie mix (for 8x8 pan) and ingredients to make them
26 Oreos
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi sweet morsels

Prepare brownie mix as directed and bake in parchment lined 8x8 pan.  Allow to cool.
Crush Oreos finely and mix with softened cream cheese. Spread over cooled brownies.
Heat cream in microwave until just starting to boil. Pour over chocolate chips, let stand for about 2 minutes, then stir to mix. Spread ganache over Oreo and cream cheese mix and refrigerate.
