If people tend to call me quirky, or wacky, I think I can blame my mom. I have clear memories of the Thanksgiving when she insisted on making blue mashed potatoes. And she’s famous at the Seven Days offices for her brownie pops, made to look like whatever cute animal captures her fancy — or the season.
If everyone has a rabbit-shaped dessert, with pastel pink candy corn for ears, at their desks, it means Mom made a treat for Easter… or Monday. She was also the seamstress responsible for my Cookie Monster skirt at last spring’s Sweet Start Smackdown.
Last week, she presented me with what may be her greatest creation yet: Hippo bread.

Luckly for us, we live next door to your mom and we were given a few. They were as yummy as they were cute! Thanks for sharing the recipe!! BUT, don’t touch our share of piggy brownie pops or my son might become the hulk.
