Fourth of July Brownies
If ever there was an opportunity to use the June Oven… we have an old time favorite brownie recipe that we used to cook for bake sales with M&M’s on top (Usually the first to sell out) that would be perfect to enjoy as we watch the Sonoma State fireworks from afar. Simply only use red white and blue M&M’s and voila! You have yourself Fourth of July brownies! If you are looking for something healthier why not checkout The Sugar-Free Flag Cake by Real Healing Nutrition. We hope you enjoy this holiday weekend.
