Triple Chocolate Chip Brownies

Ok, I'm going to break down and let the family recipe out of the bag...we all knew it had to happen sometime. :) This is the best, most versatile brownie recipe ever, AND best of all IT'S SO EASY! (Plus, there are no raw eggs, so you can eat the batter!) :D
Ok, here goes:

2 cups of milk
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (or peppermint, or white chocolate, or cheesecake...get creative!)
1 box of chocolate cake mix (again, anything goes...I suppose you wouldn't even HAVE to use chocolate...hmmm...)
1 bag of chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, white....mint chips, butterscotch...you decide!)

Wisk the pudding mix and milk together. Stir in the cake mix and chips. Pour into a greased 10x15 inch pan, and bake 30-35 minutes @350 degrees.
See...how easy was that?!?!?! :D

2011 In A Nutshell (Revised for Public Viewing)*

In January, the new year had just begun,

By February (I thought) college plans were done,

March and April flew right by,

In May, I threw a graduation cap toward the sky,

June and July whizzed by like wild,

July 24^th marked two years of being God’s dear child,

God changed my plans for the best,

In August, I moved north and west,

I’m glad I heeded God’s plan for me,

He has blessed abundantly,

September came and with it employment,

Working with children brings such enjoyment,

 God also blessed with a new church family, :D

October brought the last teen digit (such a tragedy!),

My favorite holiday with family was spent,

At Thanksgiving, we recounted the blessings God’s sent,

In December, I bid my new friends farewell,

Christmas spent with family was swell,

 God has worked in mighty ways,

 He’s taught me how to cherish my days,

I hope that you can see how God has blessed,

His plan truly is the best,

Pick out this past year’s little shards,

Recount your blessing, too, it’s not that hard! :D

*I've re-written this poem slightly. It was originally written for my friends from Trinity Baptist Church, and I've made some slight alterations so it makes more sense to a more general audience. :P

My Life is Thine

Dear God, my life is Thine,

To do with as you please,

My dreams and goals are Yours to mold,

I know my life in Your hands You hold,

To the rest of my days You hold the keys,

Dear God, my life is Thine.
