Don't forget to treat yourself!

If I can give you any advise its to not stop treating yourself. Being limited to no sticky/chewy/gooey foods (which are my favorites) can be fun but I've become resourceful to finding great things to eat. 
Its Friday so I decided a great recipe for a desert is in order.  

Let me know what you think...they are my favorites.

Butterscotch Brownies
          My mother started making these "non-chocolate" brownies when I was a little girl.  Since she in turn has lived with our family since our oldest daughter was one, our girls have renamed them "Grandma's Tannies." By any name, they're fabulous, and oh so soft.

                                               1/3 cup vegetable oil
                                               2 cups brown sugar
                                               2 eggs
                                               1 ½ cups flour
                                               2 tsp baking powder
                                               1 tsp salt
                                               1 tsp vanilla
                                               (optional:  1 cup butterscotch bits)

                   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Baking time 40 minutes.
                   In a large bowl, combine oil and brown sugar, using an electric mixer and blending well. Add eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, then add vanilla.
                   Spread batter into a greased 9"x9" pan.  If desired, sprinkle 1 cup butterscotch bits over top.  Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.  After cooling one minute, swirl the bits with a knife to give a marbleized effect.
                   Cover pan with foil keep to brownies soft, or cut them in squares and store them in a covered container.
