We enjoyed having my mom and brother visit this past week. Reese got lots of quality time with her grandma and uncle, I got some naps, and I even got to try a couple new recipes. One of them was a "healthy brownie"- it basically substituted sweet potato for flour. It wasn't horrible, but when I asked if I should make it again, both Red and my brother said "naaaa". Ha! Thank goodness we have a couple favorite "healthy desserts" that I can always come back to after a flop. This is one of those recipes for us. Happy Fourth!
