A Recipe Blog...and some updating about our family...

Well, I've decided that blogging is definitely not one of my fortes. I hardly update this enough for others to want to visit, though, I have discovered that I would much rather share recipes than write diary type entries. You will still see updates about our family just as often as I do them now, however, now when you visit our blog you will see some great recipes, since cooking and baking are my passions. Today's recipe is.....drum roll... My favorite brownies! I'm often asked to give this recipe out since it makes delicious brownies and you can add all of the extra stuff like caramel (which I did this week and it was amazing!), Andes mints, etc.
Ingredients:
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. cocoa
2 c. flour

Cream butter and sugar together; add eggs and vanilla and mix. Next, add the cocoa and flour; I recommend doing this slowly since the powder and flour will likely going everywhere. This mixture will be thick! Don't worry, do the best you can to spread it evenly about the 9x13 inch pre-greased pan. Set the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. After the brownies have cooled slightly, I like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top, it just adds a little somethin' somethin' to it :)

I hope you enjoy this one. As I do more and more recipes I will try to add photos so that you will salivate over your computer and decide to put the recipes into action!
