Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.#smallbatchrecipes #cookingfortwo #smallbatchcooking

Mother made them and they were delicious. Along with toffee bars, mint brownies are my favorite. I make them and use York peppermint patties melted in a bit of oil to flavor the brownies. I use a mix, Ghirardelli’s. I can’t see a major difference, ie, boxed brownies are just as good if not better. Is mint wintergreen flavored?

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

toffee bars sound delish too - not sure about the mint/wintergreen flavor?
