I know I promised Mario Brothers cupcakes to my brother but remember, I can’t cook.

And SURPRISE! I did get to see him for his birthday – only a couple days late – on Tuesday.

So, we trekked the five miles to Mom & Dad’s for the birthday celebration. I was on devil egg duty (again) and also dessert duty. So I stole the idea & recipe from fellow blogger, Bakerella.

Many, many thanks to that cook cause it is now part of Jeremy’s and Torrey’s and Brad’s top five treats.

Cole & Braden & Brad

The Chocolate Chip & Pecan cookie Pie

That’s alot of candles Brad – Good thing you got big lungs!

We sent Brad home to Tara with the leftovers – hope it made it home! The pie was such a hit with Jeremy that I had to make it for my new brother Torrey. So here is a picture of pie #2.

Go home and make the pie – it is super easy and great with vanilla ice-cream 🙂
