Chocolate Ginger Brownies

They are SUPER easy. One pan needed, melt and mix all in the same sauce pan. I really liked the taste, ginger-chocolate not a normal combo. John didn't like it so much. On a side note, I did grind a nice chunk out of my finger while grinding my ginger! Try it out. It's on her site.

Chocolate Crinkles

This was good, very chocolately but good. I don't think it's on her site, I didn't look very well though. It made a lot, so I would recommend a half batch.

Quesadilla!

No recipe, just a picture of me with my left over taco meat quesadilla. I made it with whole-wheat tortillas, so it's like health food. I dip it in my salsa guacamole verde dip, as pictured in front of me. My chihuahua's would love some.

OMG. Salsa Guacamole Verde


So good. I made this two ways. Easy way: 1 avacado, 1/2 cup or so jarred salsa verde. Food processor for a few seconds, bingo.

Not quite as easy way: 1 avocado, 6 tomatillos, some Tastefully Simple Garlic-Garlic (or I guess you could use some cloves), dusting of sugar, salt, lime juice, cumin. Cook the tomatillos down with some olive oil, add everything except the avocado. Put EVERYTHING in the food processor, bingo-bango.

Chocolate Cookie Cutouts

Your basic cut out cookie, with cocoa and cinnamon. An odd combination, that does work. Nothing too special though. I did learn that they aren't "sprinkles" they are "non-perils". They are on her site, but she decorated her's with royal icing or something. They have non-perils in the book. PS, Martha buy some more bandwidth. Seriously.

Also, I know I've been gone for a month, but I was getting ready for vacation, on vacation, and then post vacation. But I'm back now!

Chocolate Charms


Kinda like a shortbread cookie with a chocolate twist. Suppose to be sprinkled with cocoa, but that would be messy, so I didn't do that. Used half margarine half butter, and turned out well. Would be better with all butter, but so would everything else in this world! I couldn't find it on her web-site, so another good reason to buy the book!
