Earlier this week I was getting ready for company, cooking and tidying up the house. As I pulled the BEST Chocolate Mint Walnut Brownies from the oven, I found myself strangely nervous about the new friends coming over. I was a little off my game, you might say. I hadn’t felt this way in a long time!

How to make the best fudge brownies

Honestly, the best brownies in my opinion are the ones that are underbaked. The key is to let them sit for a couple hours before serving.

Serving hot brownies will be gooey and most likely fall apart.

For your gluten-free friends, try my Almond Flour Chocolate Brownies (so good!)

Friendship 101

Remaking community and connection is not always easy. It takes courage, especially when you move to a new town, and you have to fight against the silly thoughts and fears that run through your head.

Making new friends is sort of like Friendship 101. At my age, I truly want friendships to be authentic. I’m so ready to enjoy the simpler side of life. No comparing, worrying, striving, or chasing–real and easy. Easy like being with your best friend or sister.

When you combine friends and food together, the table can be so powerful and full of mystery. I find it very humbling that people would want to be my friend, and come to my house. I know how women can get comfortable in their own cliques and comfort zones (I know, I’ve been there), and it’s hard to break away, or to include other women into your circle. (I wish I could include emojis in my blog posts:) :)

So the fact that these women actually wanted to come to my home made it very special for me. I eventually got over the jitters, and once we sat down with our food, the magic happened.

Our menu consisted of everyone bringing a salad, and I made salmon. We dished up, sat down, feasted, and had a really fun time!

Life is short, friends, and it’s important to wedge in that time for others, to be open to new things! Right?
