Summer Pasta and Extreme Brownies

One of my favorite parts of the bloggy world is reading all the talented recipes of those much more culinary-inclined than myself. Don't get me wrong---I like eating A LOT and I will even cook a meal without TOO much complaining. Especially if it involves a good shuffle on the Ipod and my cute fella.
Well last night I ran across a recipe from this lady over at The Elephant's Trunk and I KNEW I needed to try it once the words Balsamic Vinegar and Pasta were involved. Those are pretty much my two favorite ingredients and being honest I am a happy girl if I make some Capellini pasta (similar to angel hair) and toss it with some balsamic and garlic and EAT. Dinner done. I'm simple.
But last night we took it too the next step and followed this recipe and after seeing the pictures I think you will want to also. Plus it's SUPER easy. Promise.

And you also might notice the AMAZING brownie I made with a Oreo on the bottom. NOT at all my idea. You can find the story about it from a newer bloggy friend of mine, April at Gingerbread girl. When I saw her write up on this fabulous idea she had; I just KNEW I was going to do it. SO EASY and YUMMY! No lie, I got home quite late last night (after spending great quality time with friends) and made these babies at 2am. Hehe. They made for an incredible breakfast. ;)

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend. I'm certainly glad for a bit of warm weather.
