Hey, thanks for the mention! A simple recipe turned into a detective story, and no one was more surprised by that than me. :)

So much good stuff to check out! Madly curious about the best ever blondies of course. And the food trends. I hope kale fell off the list because frankly, I'm sick of seeing it. ;)

I declare the 2015 food trend of the year to be brownies! (I can hope, right?)
