I have finally come to the realization that I don’t mind running. Again.

Last fall I really started running to get ready for a Tough Mudder. The more running I did, the more I didn’t mind it.

This past weekend my husband went mountain biking with a friend. Today he took me back there, and we ran the whole trail. All 3 1/2 miles off road. Booyah!!!

There is something fun about running through the woods early in the morning and listening to the wildlife scurry as you pound past.

Lots of extra candy and cookies make these Loaded Blonde Brownies so fun to bite into! Great dessert recipe!

And it is even more fun when you send your husband in front of you to clear all the spider webs away first.  Hee hee!!!!

Loaded Blonde Brownies

Did you see these loaded blonde brownies? They are so full of delicious goodness like caramel candy bars and Oreo cookie chunks! And M&M’s! And chocolate chips! And toffee bits!

Ok, so I pretty much emptied all the half used bags of baking goodies from the pantry into the dough!

Loaded Blonde Brownies - use all the half used bags of candy and cookies to make these fun dessert bars. Great recipe!!!!

I’m pretty sure that brownie right there is the reason I have decided to like running!!!

My sweet tooth has been getting the best of me lately, so with vacation coming up in less than 3 months. I needed a plan.

I have decided on lots of cardio, some weight lifting, and eating right. The eating right part is what I struggle with the most.

I like things like Reese’s Popcorn a little too much. Doggone sweet tooth gets me every.single.time.

Candy bars, cookie chunks, and chocolate chips give these Loaded Blonde Brownies some fun color and crunch! Great dessert recipe!

But we are remodeling our kitchen this week, so that should keep me from baking for at least a week, right?

And if I don’t bake it, I can’t eat it. Sounds like a good plan to me. So bye, bye brownie goodness, I will see you in while.

But lucky you…I have extra stuff that I have baked and not shared here, so be prepared to keep drooling!

Loaded Blonde Brownies - lots of extra candy mix-ins make these bars disappear in a hurry! Awesome dessert recipe!

I have to know…does anyone else struggle with a sweet tooth, too???

And if so, what program/workout have you found that works? I am open for more options to try.

  2. Chopped peanut butter eggs!?! Great idea 🙂 I guess great minds think alike, I posted blondies today too! And yes, I have a sweet tooth too and don’t have a great plan for burning off all of those delicious calories. Can’t wait to hear what works best for others!

  4. Blondie is my middle name.
    *blondie is actually not my middle name but because my diet consists of Diet Coke and blondies, I’m pretty confident it easily COULD be my middle name… or my blood type.

    Love these! And congrats on your running!! I wish I could run that long but a mile is my top score… and don’t even ask me to time that 😛
