SuperBowl Cherry Bliss Brownies

Over the Holidays I needed something to make for two classroom parties at my Kids school. I needed a bite size treat that every one would love. So I made these Cherry Bliss Brownies. They were a hit and talk of the parties!

I used a basic brownies mix by Ghiradelli with those huge chocolate chips and Lucky Leaf Premium Pie Filling.

These brownies are so easy to make and they are the best I have ever had! We are planning on making them for our Superbowl Party this year. All my Friends keep asking me for the recipe since I brought them to several dinner parties last month.

This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Ingredients

1 19.5-ounce package brownie mix

½ cup vegetable oil

3 eggs, lightly beaten

¼ cup water

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

5 Tablespoons butter, softened

1/3 cup sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon vanilla

1 21-ounce can Lucky Leaf or Premium Cherry Pie Filling

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large bowl prepare brownie mix according to package directions, using oil, eggs, and water. Spread batter in a 13”x9” greased baking pan. Set aside.

Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add sugar. Beat in additional 2 eggs, flour, and vanilla. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over brownie batter in pan. Use a knife to gently cut through batters to create a marble pattern.

Spoon Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling over top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool completely before serving.

Servings: 24

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Enjoy!

Moving Is A Hassle

Thanks for the guest post by Eugene Fulton Moving is such a hassle as everyone knows but it was even worse for us because we’ve got three kids. I love the idea that we’re moving into a great big house with room for everyone but for me it’s more about getting everyone in and settled in the shortest time possible. I love my family but being the matriarch is exhausting at times and between thewww.SatelliteTVFamily.com and the movers and the boxes upon boxes I’ve got my hands full. I’m still working part time but my husband’s working 12 hour days wrapping things up on hi project before we move so he hasn’t been able to help all that much. I love him to death but it’s almost like I’d rather have him move out of the way than try to help…he always makes things worse rather than better! I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like waking up in our new homebut I guess it’s only a matter of time until I find it out!

Internet Rate Plans

Guest post by Jewel Cole So I just recently moved out of the city in to a more rural area so that I can have a taste of, as I call it, the country life. I really loved living in the city and everything it had to offer. Takeout food delivered at whatever time of day or night I wanted it. I was within walking distance to my favorite coffee shop and boutiques. It was time for me to make a change though, so I decided to head out to the country where I can live for a while and clear my head of all the city noise. When I moved out there I found out that my utilities are not the same as they were in the city. For instance I am on well water instead of city water. The other thing that changed for me was my internet connection. It was important for me to really check out the prices and compare and see what I could find that was a good deal. I have to have the internet but I don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it. I used this linkhttp://www.satellitestarinternet.com/hughesnet_plans_pricing.html to find out the most recent rate plans for the internet in my area. Check it out.

Buying A Espresso Machine?

Looking for a new Espresso Machine? It isn't as easy as you may think to purchase one these days. Espresso Machines come in many sizes, colors, capabilities and prices.

The first thing to do is your homework. You will need to figure out what type of machine you need. Ask your self how many cups of cappuccino or espresso do you drink a week? Where do you normally have it? At home or from a coffee bar. After you have decided what your needs are then it's time to shop.

You can purchase a single cup serving machine or multiple. Plastic, stainless steal, copper, the lists go on as to what is available. The prices range from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. So if you'r looking to make only a cup or so a week or bring out your Espresso Machines at a dinner party I recommend you purchase an inexpensive model. You will also need accessories as well such as grinder, roaster, coffee and cups.

Restaurants need a more expensive versions of Espresso Machines for their high demand of coffee from their customers. Barista's will make hundreds of Cappuccino's an hour and need a machine that will handle the demand. For example you may only need a 1 group machine. The 1 group will make one cup at a time. For larger quantities quicker you may need as a restaurant would need is at least a 3 group machine that has the capability of brewing three cups at once.

I would also recommend you purchase from a company that backs it product, has a warranty set up and has parts that can be replaced as needed.

There is nothing better than a fresh brewed cappuccino or espresso so why not get it right from your house! As always, do your homework first and you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy!

It's Time For Wine!

Wine. With Holiday time here once again it's time for some wine. So let's talk about getting that wine.

You have several choices. The grocery store, party store, liqueur store, gourmet market, wine shop the list goes on. You probably have your favorite place to purchase wine. I do have mine and it does not all come from the same place believe it or not. I do shop around for a good bottle and the best price.

You can join wine clubs, purchase online and get great wines from around the world now at your fingertips.

For example serenatawines.com in house Sommelier will hand pick the wines for you. In this case they will pick it and ship it in a beautiful wooden box. They have every type of wine available, Chardonnay, Bordeaux, Chablis, Burgundy, Champagne, Chianti, full bodied, lighter bodied as well as Organic. You can get great Italian, French, Australian and many more from all over the world.

Look for Holiday specials, gift ideas for both the red and white wine lover. In most cases the company will give you tasting notes, a brief history and the type of grape the wine is made from. You can actually learn a lot from poking around the websites. The best part is you can usually get a good price and have the opportunity to try something new.

This is a great idea for that hard to buy for person. Your Boss, Secretary, Father In Law the list goes on. If they like wine they will love this gift.

Shop around, do your wine homework and most of all have some fun. Happy Holidays!!

Enjoy! :)

Perfect Valentine's lunch date outfit

Guest post written by: Chelsea Pearce

My boyfriend and I are going to have a lunch date for Valentine's Day because he has to go on a business trip at the crack of dawn early next morning and therefore a dinner date like we had originally planed just isn't in the books for us. But I still want to look my best for the date like I would if it was for a dinner date. I'll be at work though so i need to make sure that I can wear something that's appropriate for the office.

Lucky for me, our office has a really casual dress code, which makes dressing for my date a little bit easier. I've gotten a few ideas from my satellitestarinternet.com/ as to what I'm going to wear.

I've narrowed it down to a few different dresses that I have and cardigans. I'm leaning towards a black dress and a red cardigan. Then of course I'll wear it with tights and heels. I may even curl instead of straighten my hair for the date since he likes it when I do that.
