peanut butter cookieToday was a day full of meetings and brain-taxing budgeting and calculations in my neck of the Fairytale Brownies bakery. I spent much of the day trying to help my mind keep up with my busy schedule! So this afternoon, I decided I needed to take a break, and headed downstairs to scrounge up a snack (a definite perk of working in a Belgian chocolate brownie and cookie gifts bakery). I managed to find some Peanut Butter cookie "rejects" in our retail store. What's a reject? It's a fudgy chocolate...

If you know me, you know I cycle 100 miles per week and spend 9 hours per week at the gym! I'm hard core when it comes to my work outs! I spin with some of the best instructors in the state of Arizona! I spin with Connie, April, Kim, Tom, and of course I "Spin with Tim Phelan"! Tim's classes are a sell out and you must wait 30 minutes prior to class just to sign in to get a bike! ( You can find Tim on Facebook at Spin with Tim Phelan).

It's that time of year again! The wearin' O the green! One of my favorite holidays! St. Patrick's Day! The tradition in my family is a week long process starting with the baking of shamrock cookies, ordering my brisket,  and shopping for the freshest vegetables to accompany my traditional Corned Beef Brisket! The Celtic music is playing, the beer is chilling, and life is good! My brisket is a mix of salty and spicy so the perfect pairing would be Belgian Chocolate Brownies! Oh my, that sweet and...

I spent some time playing with our camera in the Fairytale Brownies kitchen this week, and got a few good shots of our baking team busily handcrafting gourmet brownies and cookies. I thought I would share with you all how our mail order brownies are made before they get packed into boxes and the brownies and cookies are delivered to your door! 

Here is some Belgian chocolate brownie batter being carefully weighed as it is poured onto a baking sheet.
