Blonde Brownies

The baking bug hit me on Sunday. I found a recipe that was ridiculously easy and beyond delicious.

So…back to all the unpacking excitement at my mom's house today. I picked up Starbucks for breakfast. 

Skinny Vanilla Latte and the egg white & turkey bacon sandwich. It was pretty good!

I helped my mom for a few more hours, then had to drive back to San Diego. I picked up a roast beef sandwich at Subway along the way for lunch.

I am loving the drive to and from Palm Desert MUCH better than my old Los Angeles drive! 

Do you enjoy road trips?
