Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date 'Graduate' theme and 3 ingredient brownie

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Rain is on an indefinite break but I am continuing with her fun themes for now. This week is it 'Graduate'. Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic on cardstock.


 For the Dinner Date, I found a 3 ingredient brownie recipe that turned out to be very delicious.

2 very ripe bananas (I used thawed frozen bananas)

2 eggs

3/4 c cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1/4 c diet syrup (I added this as I felt it needed more sweetness)

Mash bananas, add eggs, diet syrup, then add cocoa powder, baking powder, salt.  

bake 350F 40-45 min in a small pan lined with parchment paper.


I used Steeves Maples sugar free Syrup from this site.

Great drawing. It´s interesting how different we graduate! No hats here, you get your certificate in a map. Some party (I don´t like that and skipped it).

The graduation hat reminds me of my own ceremony years ago

It's so exciting to graduate - it's the end of the beginning, and the beginning of something new.

That little ACEO is full of charm—so fitting for the theme! And those brownies sound like the perfect no-fuss treat. I might have to give them a try next time I’ve got overripe bananas hanging around.

Your drawings are inspiring me to draw/doodle some of yours. I have no talent but the small size makes it easy to play.
