Black Bean Brownies
These brownies. Every now and again, despite how much time I spend playing with recipes, I have a 'I can't believe I made this, I'm clearly some sort of culinary genius' moment.

Watermelon-Grapefruit Tequila Slushie
Yeah, the words 'tequila' and slushie tell you nearly everything you need to know about this one. I raced last Saturday, which meant I got to indulge a bit more on Saturday night.
