I Am Sabrina

Namely_Marly_Name_Stories_Sabrina

My name feels just right to me. But I came close to being called something entirely different. My parents met in The Haight Ashbury in 1968. My dad was a music producer and club owner. My mom was a flower child. Five years later, when they were choosing names, one of their top choices was willow summer Marie. To know me is to know that I am not a Willow Summer Marie. I'm so grateful my grandmother had a good, strong hand in changing their minds.

I am Sabrina.

Double Decker Brownies

This vegan double decker brownie features a peanut butter cookie crust with a coffee-infused chocolate brownie on top.

Today it's time to take a little sidestep from all this overly healthy eating and enjoy some Double Decker Brownies. It's part of a new series I'm calling Free For All Fridays! Here's my theory, all work and no play can be kind of boring. Hmm, come to think of it, I don't think that's my saying. Oh well, let's go with it!
