Long After We Are Gone & Brownies

Thank you Source Landmark for this gifted copy.

Completely blown away! I could not get enough of the complex, real and raw emotions throughout this story. Each character was gritty and layered, with so much hidden drama going on in their own lives.

I was there for all the emotionally intense topics from homophobia, body identity, theft, blackmail and more. BUT, the power of family is what really spoke to me. Watching each of the siblings come together in order to discover what no longer served them and letting go of past expectations was what made the story so emotionally engaging.

Diontae Black is one of my favorite narrators. He has a way of bringing both male and female characters to life in their own unique ways.

Red Velvet Brownies

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve baked for my Spin Class so I decided to try this red velvet brownie cheesecake recipe.

I loved how quick and easy it was to put this recipe together. It was a bit tough to get it to swirl together, but I got it done!

They took 15 minutes to bake instead of the 35 that the recipe said.

So glad these came out well, and everybody loved them in class.
