Lest you think this post is going to become a disposal ground for my parental woes, fear not. He was 18 months old before he took a nap longer than 40 minutes and I am not allowed to talk about the oh-so recent age when he started mostly sleeping through the night because it scares my friends who haven’t had kids yet, and I promised to stop doing that. I don’t mean to shock you, but my son, the light of our lives, and don’t even get me started on how I plan to gaze adoringly at the photos from shirtless “pig-sketti” night last week long into my rocking chair days - were he to have a singular flaw, it would be that he’s just never been that into sleep. And for that, we need to talk about, well, Jacob. And despite having an alphabet of brownie recipes on this site from Adorable Hearts to Baked Bakery to Cream Cheese, Cocoa, and Creme de Menthe, I actually haven’t shared my go-to brownie recipe in its purest form, what I dub my Forty Minute Naptime Brownies. And more so, I wanted my favorite brownies. Shouldn’t we be discussing blueberry pie, summer harvest tians or backyard grillery? Probably.īut the thing is, I really wanted a brownie. I understand that when a website but 5 11/12 years old boasts not one or two but a dozen or so variations on brownies that it’s possible, perhaps, or at least worth considering that the brownie category: it’s been exhausted.
