Raspberry White Chocolate Almond Brownies

Today on foodnetwork I saw Giada make this yummy yummy brownies. So I decided that we had to try them for Fathers Day!

Here is what you will need

Ingredients
2/3 cup raspberry jam
1 (21-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge)

(we didnt have any so we just used Grandma Baird's recipe)
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup chopped salted almonds
Directions
Position a baking rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
In a small saucepan, stir the jam constantly over low heat until pourable, about 1 minute. Set aside.
In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Using an electric hand mixer beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the jam over the top of the brownie batter. Using a small spatula, swirl jam into the brownie batter. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the pan comes out clean. Spread with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with salted almonds. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.
Cut into 16 bars and store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.

Bar J Ranch, Jackson Hole and Shooting

Our family decided to take a quick trip and head up to Jackson. We were able to see the cutest show. A family decided years ago that they would turn their family ranch into a entertaining ranch. We had 20 different people that decided to head up to Bar-J ranch for the evening.
These are the 4 men that put on the entertainment portion of the show.
They feed you a traditional chuck wagon style dinner.

While we were waiting for Bar-J to start we decided to walk around downtown Jackson. The weather was not that great, it rained a few times but we ended up having a great time.

The day before, we went over to go see Sam and Karalee's new house. They are extremely talented! I had to take a few pictures of their home to get ideas.

Mom with Viv. She was such a doll.



Later we were all taught how to shoot guns with Chris, Ben and Brett. I thought we were going to go deaf for sure but it was fun!
