I am a huge fan of brownies and I think they are the perfect dessert for a holiday party. This recipe for Fudgy Chocolate Brownies from Simply Recipes looks like an easy and delicious treat to make over the weekend, you may have to double or triple it though because this recipe only makes an 8″ pan.

If you do not feel like baking and would still like to serve something sweet and somewhat healthy(fruit is healthy) than you could make these Patriotic Explosion Cheesecake Desserts from The Baking Chocolatess. 

Last week I told you about the the summer reading list by The Modern Mrs. Darcy this week I want to tell you about The Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club with video discussions, a forum and a Facebook page. The cost is $10.00  month but if you love reading and discussing books with like mixed individuals this might be the book club for you. (P.S. I do not receive any compensation for mentioning this, I simply love The Modern Mrs. Darcy blog and her books lists). 

Is Wellness a Fad? Or is it Over?

This week 22 people lost their lives and 90 were injured after enjoying a concert in Manchester.  This post by Tania of The Small Thing  is written from the heart and says what I think many are feeling.
