TIME TO START OVER

I had a post started about all the glitches and problems with our move as well as all the GOOGLE headaches I’ve had trying to renew my domain, but I’ve changed my mind and decided to start the new year (albeit a little late) with a fresh positive attitude!
It’s been 1 year since my cancer surgery and I’m happy to say that there are only 1451 days left until I can call myself cancer free.  I’m remaining vigilant and testing as needed, but so far all is well.  Energy is my big enemy.  I just don’t have enough of it.
I’m getting the urge to cook again at least.  So this week I’m trying a few new recipes.  Look for the recipes over at ALWAYS EAT ON THE GOOD CHINA over the next week.

1 teaspoon vanilla
Juice of 1 lemon
Powdered Sugar

Dark Chocolate Brownies

These brownies are a joy.  Dark, rich and gooey they are a delicious chocolatey treat.  Enjoy on it’s own or with a generous dollop of vanilla ice cream on top!

2 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
2 sticks unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoonful vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoonful baking soda
Pinch of salt

Heat oven to 350F

Grease a 13×9 pan.

Heat the butter and chocolate very gently in a pan over low heat until melted. 

Set aside to cool a little.

Whisk the eggs and sugar together for approx 3 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and combine.

Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently but thoroughly combine.

Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into the chocolate egg mixture and fold in gently.

Pour the mixture into the pan and place in the oven for approx 20 minutes.  The mixture should wiggle in the middle when you remove it from the oven.

Leave to cool thoroughly in the pan before cutting into squares.

Enjoy!

TAILGATING TIME

We have decided to make a change this year in the way Tailgating Time will work. Instead of a new linky for each week we will be using the same linky to keep all the great recipes in one place. This will provide easy access to the recipes and create one big awesome recipe index collection. There is no limit to how many you add – of course we hope you will add a new recipe each and every week! Tailgating Time will generally be posted each week on Sundays at noon.


It doesn’t matter if you are a football fan or not, great party food is always a good thing. Bring over your grilled goods, chips and dips, appetizers, chili and chowders, cocktails, or any recipes that would be great for the football party buffet!


If any of you would like to host along with us you can click –> get the InLinkz code to add the linky to your blog too. You can post it once in awhile or every week during football season, that’s up to you. The only thing we ask is that you leave a comment here to let us know you are co-hosting, and that you visit and comment on as many of the participants as you can.
We can’t wait to see what you will bring to the party. Let the games begin. Whoo-hoo!
