Cookies and Creme Brownies

As I've said before I have 5 children and so I am always looking for fun and easy recipe.  Unfortunately I can't take credit for this recipe, I actually saw it on the back of the box. With a name like Cookies and Creme Brownies, how could I resist giving them a try?  They were very simple to make, and my children really liked them.  The brownies looked yummy.  I thought they were a little too sweet, but still think they would make a great dessert to take for a covered dish.

1 box fudge brownie mix (9x13 size)
1 3/4 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
1 container vanilla frosting.

Preheat oven to temperature listed on the box. Mix up the brownie mix as directed on the package. Then add 1 cup of cookie crumbs to the batter.  Pour into a greased 13x9 pan and bake for the time stated on the box.*  Allow the brownies to cool completely.  Spread the vanilla frosting on top of the brownies and then sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs on top.

*I'm not crazy about gooey brownies so I might increase the cooking time by a few minutes the next time I make them.

Happy Birthday

Winter has arrived!

Woke up yesterday morning,to a small sprinkling of snow on the ground and all of my beautiful plants frozen.  I guess it's an appropriate way to start December, but I'm not ready for it.

ISO?

Well if you are anything like me, learing all the different terms for your camera can seem a little intimidating so I'm hoping to explain a few that i have learned over the years.

What is ISO?

ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor (or film) to light.  The higher the number, the less light is needed to take a photo that is correctly exposed.

 Most people tend to keep their digital cameras in ‘Auto Mode’ but most cameras also give you the opportunity to select your own ISO. In Auto Mode the camera selects the appropriate ISO setting depending upon the conditions you’re shooting in. Most cameras will try to keep the ISO setting as low as possible in this mode.  Higher ISO settings allow you to shoot digital photos in low-light conditions, but such photos are more susceptible to noise and grainy images than photos shot at low ISO settings. With a digital camera, you usually can shoot at a variety of ISO settings.
