Food Therapy: It's All In The Mix!!

Let's get serious about mixes...brownie mixes!!  I am a chocoholic (and this year's dental bill for cavities shows it).  When I come across really, Really, REALLY good brownies, I'm in heaven.  It just happens that earlier ths month, while in DC, Meh made heavenly dark chocolate brownies.  Have I ever mentioned that dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate?

These brownies were moist, chocolate-y (not flour-y) and chewy!! Where, oh where, did Meh get the brownie mix from?  It wasn't Duncan Hines.  It wasn't Betty Crocker. It was Target's Market Pantry housebrand!!

I may not cook much but Meh cooks all the time.  And she is a fantastic chef.  So when she tells me that this is the BEST brownie mix ever, I completely believe her.  Plus, these brownies really were the best I've ever had.  If it weren't for the fact that she made them for her houseparty (and also for the fact that she kept on telling that I could only have ONE piece until the guests arrived), I would have wolfed down the entire pan.  It was especially tempting to do so when they were fresh out of the oven.  The smell of freshly baked brownies is intoxicating.  The warmth of freshly baked brownies is seductive.  Chocolate really can be better than... 

The Market Pantry Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix is only $1.39!!  So if you're craving chocolate and want a cheap but EXCELLENT fix, go to Target and make these brownies.  I recommend stocking up.  I know I will be once the kitchen renovation is completed!!

Loehmann's: 20% Off Any One Clearance Item Coupon

I haven't been to Loehmann's in a bit but I think this coupon may motivate me to visit this week: Loehmann's 20% Of Any One Clearance Item Coupon.

I was a bit sample sale and summer sale fatigued, but maybe I can pick up a cute clearance item for my trip to Bermuda....

BoutiqueToYou.com: Sale On Sale!!

BoutiqueToYou is having a Sale On Sale!!  Take an extra 25% off all sale items with code "25SALE" (expire 08/20/10).  Always on the lookout for a comfy chic "buffet outfit" (i.e., an outfit one would wear when one is expecting to be rather gluttonous...which, for me, always occurs at a buffet), I checked to see what I could pull together in the sale section.  I found this flattering and forgiving-to-the-waistline outfit...here it is from top to bottom: (Note: Prices reflect 25% discount.)

• Karen Zambos Cyia Top ($37.49) in ivory: Yes...this shirt is perfect for when you want to eat a very, very big meal.  Just mind the sleeves.  This is a one-size-fits all top.

• Adina Circle Twist Necklace ($187.49) in gold:  I prefer this delicate necklace rather than the chunky one the model above is wearing.  It's a bit more elegant.
