Favorite Brownies with Orange Jam February 18, 2009

This is the recipe for my favorite brownies. I got it from Calgary Herald a long time ago, and only recently discovered how well it goes with a bit of orange jam…

Ingredients: 3/4 cup flour, 1/3 cup cocoa, pinch of salt, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, 3 tbsp water, vanilla, raisins, chopped nuts and 1-2 tsp orange jam.

Instructions:

1. Stir together flour, cocoa, salt and sugar.
2. Add melted butter, eggs (incorporate one by one), water and vanilla. Beat thoroughly.
3. Add raisins, nuts and orange jam. The best orange jam is the one made with big chunks of orange peels.
4. Pour everything into a pan and put in oven (350F) for some 25 minutes.

Craving chocolate? Try this one… October 26, 2008

I was craving some chocolate this morning, and realized I only have two eggs left in the fridge.

As I was checking the recipe blogs, I found the Chocolate Drop Cookies from A Recipe a Day. And I thought I’d give them a try… here they are, soft and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet, in a word: delicious. The best part? It took me only 20 minutes to make them!!! I’m not gonna re-write the recipe here, just click on the link above.
