Dessert and Veggies

Ladies. Three words.

Cookie brownie bars.



Oh my word.

If you should come across this Betty Crocker Hershey's Cookie Brownie Bar mix on your next visit to the grocery store, do yourself a favor and grab a box. You might even want to hide it under the other groceries in your cart. Another shopper might be too lazy to go find their own and take yours instead. That is called covetousness. And also stealing.

Mom and I (Mom, really) made these last night when we were at her house. Then she had the gall to send them home with me. Doesn't she know I just had a baby? I still have 7 pounds to lose!

While we were having our treat, Jackson kept interrupting Bibby with pleas to watch Larry Boy (of Veggie Tales fame). I said, "Sorry, Mom. But isn't this what you always wanted?"

When grandkids were only a twinkle in her eye, she began dreaming of the day when she would enjoy Veggie Tales with them. Only in her dream she is wearing a Larry Boy costume.

"Larry Bibby," she said, "I'll call myself Larry Bibby."

If, by the grace of God, we ever find an adult-size Larry Boy costume, I promise you will be the first to know. Right after Jackson.

Somehow I think bibby would be all over having a costume like that. My mom and I call her the "stand-up" comedian, that just happens to teache Bible studies.
I love how your family runs on desserts - moonpies and cookie brownie bars. It figures the "veggie" part would be film.

I'm sorry, but 7 pounds??? Our youngest is 17 and I'm still trying to lose "baby" weight (and a lot more than 7 lbs!). Honey, eat that cookie and relax!

I LOVE those cookie brownie bars! They are delicious!

Are you kidding? I think Bibby should have her very own Veggie Tales character named for her. "Bible Bibby" or something like that would be a huge hit (at least I think so.) She could have a really cute costume complete with great hair and all. She would be known as the "sharp shooter of the Word!"

Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh man!
I am really trying to work on "My Girlish Figure" which does not look very girlish. Too many years of neglect and abuse.
However, my God is more than able to redeem all of me, spiritually, emotionally, AND physically!
Hallelujah!!

Have to pass on those brownie bars!
But you gals go right ahead!
I said yes way too many times when I should have said no and run for my life!!!

Be blessed, Oh Mighty Warrior Women of the MOST HIGH GOD!!

He delights in you and I sure get a kick out of you via this blog!

Come on you two, give me a break!!!!! ..... I'd just sat down to check my email whilst having my "Activia Yogurt with sliced banana" snack. I had thought I'd done a pretty good job of convincing myself that it surely was absolutely delicious. Then what to my wondering eyes should appear but your blasted brownies, which to my eye brought a tear. To the top of the sub-division, I flew like a flash, tore up the highway, I made a fast dash. And into Food City went my merry ole self and my eyes with a twinkle did scan all the shelves. I found it, I did. I shouted with glee. I'm trashing the yogurt -- it's brownies for me!!!!

What is it about brownies? I used to make chocolate chip cookies religiously but since having baby 4months ago they just dont quite do it like brownies. It sounds very narcotic to say, but with cookies you have to put up with all chocolate-less dough. Brownies cut right to the chase and give you a burst of chocolate head-on! I swear to you one of my to-do's today..all day...has been 'make brownies'. ha ha ha! If I could only make headway with this stinky laundry...

ps: Annabeth is precious My baby is Eliana Lizbeth but I call her Elibeth for short!

Oh you guys are too funny!! We're huge "veggie" fans in our house.. except for our four year old. For some reason he will only watch Larry-Boy stuff, including the 4 animated cartoons. He's even named the floor lamp "Lampy".
My mom made a Larry-Boy costume for my oldest son... maybe she could make a bigger one?! Evil doers beware!!

Wait a minute, its BETH that wants the costume, so she can enjoy the delicious brownies, a VeggieTales movie, and her grandkids, and kids. Now, anyone have an adult sized costume?

The brownies, they look delicious. Thankfully for now they aren't a temptation. We're packing for a move, and not planning to bake for a while. NOW...in a couple of weeks, I may search them out in the grocery store. (GIGGLE). Meanwhile, enjoy them for the rest of us! By the way, Amanda, if you don't have some in limited quantities...your body will crave them, and then you'll splurge. So go ahead and enjoy them in moderation.

And the thought of our mama siesta in a Larry Boy costume made me spit my afternoon coffee all over my keyboard! TOO funny. :)

And that 7lbs.? Girl...my youngest is 8 and I'm trying to "Shred" the last 5 AGAIN. Hang in there...

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hilarious! This post reminded me of the time my husband made himself a LarryBoy costume for VBS. He used an old hockey helmet - spray painted it purple, attached a couple plungers, glued on some foam stuff to make the pointy part of the helmet on top, wore a LarryBoy t-shirt and hopped down the center aisle of the sanctuary with his arms pinned to his sides!! Bibby could always make her own Larry outfit!

Have a great weekend y'all!

I think momuv2 is right - Bible Bibby would be a great character, I mean, is a great character. I saw an adult in the asparagus costume from Veggie Tales one time. They had made it by hand.
Enjoy the brownie cookies.

Wow I will have to make those for either Sunday night or wed. night bible study. Then I will have to stay far away. I am afraid I weigh more than my scale says, because it is not working. It weighs only a pound or two different regardless of where you set the thing, you know at the 25 pound mark or the zero. Ok enough about my troubles.

Bibby in a Larry boy costume is just hysterical. I agree with Momuv2, she should have her own character. Something like Bibby the head of (bib)lettuce who happens to teach the bible. :0) Beth please know I am just kidding and love you and your family dearly. I just could not resist. Have a great weekend. Kim B. in AZ

P.S. Sorry for the lame attempt at humor.

Sinful. No other word for those bars. MMM...MMM!

We tried them once and ever since then I refuse to walk down that aisle at the grocery store for fear a box will hop in my cart!

I like my sweets far too much which is why I'm struggling with my weight loss. ;) However I found a fruit that I feel is equally as sweet as my beloved brownies. Ever had a Pink Lady apple? Oh honey if you haven't get yourself one to try! I promise you'll be begging your produce manager to keep them in stock. They are so sweet and have a nice crunch too. So it really satisfies when I have a sweet tooth. And with a little natural peanut butter...MMM!

Hugs,

I'VE GOT IT!!!! Beth can be a new Veggie Tales character - a head of "Bibb Lettuce" named Bibby Beth. That would be so cute!

Those brownies look so good, but I'm trying to lose way more than 7 pounds. Darn it! Perhaps when I reach some midpoint goal...

And I have to say I loved Kathy Little's poem... Siestaville is just the best!

I bet she looks good in purple. At least that's Larry Boy's color. I spose Larry Bibby could wear whatever she wants....with stylish heals. No wait...she took those off in Laramie cuz she said she could run better without them. If she's going to fight evil, maybe it better be a more sensible heal. The sacrifices one must make for The Kingdom!

Love you guys so much!

The Brownie Cookie Bars sound amazing, but I'm going to have to pass right now! I have to have more than my man & I in the house to make something like that!!! Don't worry about those 7 lbs, Amanda, you'll get them off for sure when Annabeth becomes mobile!

I was so surprised to see the title...I had to read this post. My husband says that dessert IS veggies...
flour comes from a grain,
sugar comes from sugar cane plants,
chocolate comes from the cocoa plant,
oil comes from a plant.
He says that if half the ingredients originate from veggies you can count it as a veggie.

So that's not quite where you were going with this post, but I always laugh when he says this stuff.

My oldest grandsons (now 8) LOVED Veggie Tales since he could just sit up. I remember buying him a video for Christmas and when he unwrapped it he was just shaking!

I swear we watched it dozens of times a day. My husband (who is a crusty gruff sort of guy) would find himself singing the Cheesburger Song.

For this little guys 2nd birthday, we borrowed the church BoB and Larry costumes and his dad and I dressed up in them and when we made our appearance, he could't stand it. It kept hugging us and touching us. I really don't think he saw us...just Bob and Larry.

Oh my gosh, you aren't living till you have grandkids......

I haven't tried the Cookie Brownie Bars, but the Peanut Butter Brownies are scrumptuous! (and you have to eat them warm!) They are brownies with peanut butter chips in them...delightful!! :) I envy you, Beth, for being able to have so much time and fun with your grandkids. My three grandkids live in CO and I would give anything to have them come over to Grammy's house. What a joy that must be!

You all are too funny! My daughter Sophie (2 1/2) has been obsessed with "veggies" since she was just shy of a year old. My dad dressed up as Larry for a church event (for some odd reason everybody wanted to see the pastor dressed up as Larry) It was kind of a make shift costume. Sophie was thrilled to see "Larry." Not sure if she realized it was her Papa though.

Definitely need to try some of those brownies. I just had my second daughter (Molly) 7 months ago so I'm totally with you Amanda and my mom does the same thing!! I swear it's a ploy for more grandchildren (what's the point in losing weight when you'll just have more babies) ;) Too funny! You all crack me up!!

ugh. i am having a hard time with food--i just gave up dairy (for allergy reasons) and it is about to drive me NUTS! and of course my mental state couldn't handle the fact that i had given up so many foods that i love, so my inner woman has lovingly (my thighs would say otherwise) replaced my dairy intake with more sugar to cover the deficit. gross. all it does is make me tired and reverse any thought of exercise i have into a craving for something sweeter.

so ya'll eat my share...i'm off to find vegan cupcake recipes. that sounds so depressing.

the 2 yr old twins i keep are obsessed with bob and larry. i listened through the monitor for an hour the other night as twin #1 listed to twin #2 (who was already asleep) everything she loved about bob. and then larry. i think a life-sized "larry bibby" would put her over the top!

I could dress as Larry Boy and dance like Bob the Tomato, (who has no legs so need we say more about my abilities). If I happen to see the Larry Boy in a size large I'll get it on the way to Texas pronto..

So, have you been working really hard on baby weight, or just not gain much to start with?
I had a baby girl the end of February, and until I read your post, I was thinking I was doing great by having 20 left to go (in my weaker moments I tend to think of it as 15. as shocking as that is at times, it's not NEARLY as shocking as the {gulp}65 lbs that somehow attached themselves to my person).
If you have any particular secrets, please share! If not, I am just going to confidently assume that I am "special" and that it is HEALTHY to lose weight slowly. ;)

I just love how God moves, Beth's dream of a grand baby is now reality...and I'm sure her dream will come true even someone has to make a "Larry" suit for her. I can't wait to see that picture and the expression on your little ones faces..

Her hair is big already! I saw this comercial the other day and laughed outloud thinking of Beth Moore and the fact that she might like to have it!! Made me laugh.

Brownies idea for those who need to loose 7 pounds...bake & take...to a neighbor who needs to hear about The LPM Blog...we may get someone interested in THE WORD! Eat only one and continue working on the 7 pounds. It has been so long since I've watched a Veggie Tale, I only have them on VHS...must get dvd's for neighbor's child who's going to get the second brownie cookie cut (oops, #3...husband will want either #1 or #2.) Oh, I just love this community! Thanks!

Looking forward to that costume! I'm sure someone can whip one up in no time...calling all seamstress...

Brownies! I could use one. I'm working very hard outside, power washing two very large decks, make that four if you count the porches, trying to work on the pool, mow 2.5 acres....who has time to bake...someone will surley feel for me and send me some.

Have a fun summer

Y'all are sooo funny to me! I love the closeness of your relationship and all the fun you have - reminds me of my family.

Oh, they desperately need to make one just for her! I am dying to see her in that costume. I have no doubt she really would buy it and wear it!

I took my grandson to see Larry and Bob at our local Lifeway store last year....bet they would let your Mom use/have one!

mmmm...those brownies sound good! I made a Larry Boy costume for my son about 4 yrs. ago when he was infatuated with the cucumber super-hero. Boy do I remember those days vividly! Some very talented gal had created a pattern, and when I found out and called her up (the things we do for our children!), she willingly let me borrow it. The helmet even had removable super-suction ears and all! Still have the costume, in fact--now in storage awaiting my 1 yr. old to grow a little more and fall in love with..."that HERO." (Oh boy...now the theme song is beginning to run through my brain. I thought I had completely traded that one in for the Star Wars theme song. Guess you never forget something you listen to that many times!)

btw, Jackson is totally welcome to borrow the costume for a while--I'm sure we have a good year or 2 before our little man becomes a Larry Boy fan. You can email me at jmeissner4christ@yahoo.com if you'd like to borrow it sometime. Or if Missy Barfuss is going to be in your summer study group (doubting that w/ the baby...but who knows), I could send it through her.

fondly remembering sweet days,
Julie in Tomball

p.s. I can tell you how to make cool Larry Boy cupcakes out of ice cream cones...if you're as crazy as me : )

Hey Little Momma:)

Those brownies look fabulous:) Yumminess in a box!:) Larry Bibby! That is funny:) You know, judging from the moon pie showering ya'll got, you may get a few of those Larry Boy costumes show up at LPM:):) I would't be surprised!:) I love veggie tales. I already have a collection of the video, you see, on the chance that I would have kiddles of my own. That, or my niece and nephews-I had to have a good excuse:) No, really, my fav silly song is the hairbrush song, a close second is the no belly button song. My husband thoroughly enjoys that one too, occas. he will break out in chorus.

Love ya'll

Those look SO GOOD!! But I also still have baby weight to lose (finally broke down and started Weight Watchers ;)) so I'd better stay far, far away!
Cracking up at Larry Bibby. :) I do love me some Veggie Tales! Can't wait till my little guys (5 months old) are old enough to appreciate them with me!

I will most definitely HAVE to go out and buy these now - thank you very much - NOT that I need them either, but can hardly resist a good dessert!

My kids have outgrown Veggie Tales but I still like to sing "The Song of the Zebu" at the top of my lungs...or "Where is My Hairbrush?" Those are the classics!

So I bought the brownie mix for dessert with some dinner guests last night. They're amazing! After our guests left, I was sneaking little bites when my husband wasn't looking. Later, while he was washing dishes I came in the kitchen to sneak more. He looked at me and smiled... and had chocolate in both corners of his mouth :)

Here is a recipe I got from a neighbor over 20 years ago. I still like this cake.
Mock Italian Creme Cake
1 box butter recipe cake mix-mix according to package directions

Add:1 cup pecan and 1 cup coconut
Bake about 10 minutes longer than package suggests

Icing:1 stick margarine-softened
12 oz creme cheese-softened
1 box confectioner's sugar
Mix all ingredients until creamy

Refrigerate

Frost slightly warm/cool cake-not hot
Icing will melt into hot cake

I bake this in a bundt pan

Enjoy

OMG! These brownies are so dangerous. I made them for my husband's bible study the other day and actually hid some of them for me later.
