I know it’s 90 degrees here in Austin, TX, but once in awhile you just need some really good comfort food. For those days when there’s 5 loads of laundry that need to be done while another 2 loads are still waiting to be folded and dinner needs to be made, but darn it, you forgot to buy sweet paprika and not smoked paprika and it might just ruin dinner! …. These are the days when you need something that warms your thoughts and comforts your exhausted, frazzled mothering soul…. And this recipe all that and a bag of chips! I came across this dessert while perusing the cookbook aisle at Half Priced Books. BTW that place is one of my favorite places to visit! It has the vibe of Strand Book Store in New York, without all the dust and unventilated air! And I’m sure that those of you who’ve been there, know what I’m talking about! I love that place, but I seriously can’t breathe in there! Anyhoo’s, I’ve loved Smitten Kitchen for years, but living under a rock, I’ve never seen her cookbook! Just flipping through it made me want to make everything in there! And these Gooey Cinnamon Butter Squares hooked me and the rest of my family right away!
