Sundays are for baking. Literally all day. These mint chocolate black bean brownies are so fudgey and dense!! This is a good easy recipe to try! Pretty sure brownies are one of my favorite dessert foods because I nevarrrr get sick of them!! And noooo you can't taste the black beans!! You add so much cocoa you can't even tell. :) It's just a nice, lower carb flour alternative and it makes it fudgey!

In 8 days I leave for Washington state (for good!!). It's all becoming a little too real. Saying bye to friends for like...final? I know I will be visiting but I don't think it'll ever really be the same. It'll always be "catching up" rather than hanging out with them. Kinda sucks but meh. I grew up within an hour of my home town (even when I went to college, and worked at the CDC) so I'm soo familiar with the area. It'll be so different not having that sense of familiarity... Kinda weird. But I am definitely excited for the move! New things are exciting. :)️️
