The recipe is from Tender at the Bone, which is my favorite of all Ruth Reichl’s books. I’m not sure why I didn’t make the recipe back when I read the book, but it might have been due to the fact I did not own a stand mixer. The brownies can be made without one, [...]

Plus, I think these would be perfect for Halloween if made with the Halloween colored (orange filled) Oreos. Recipe Here — just add in about a half cup of broken Oreos. I [...]

In this version, broken Oreo cookies stand in for the walnuts and instant espresso powder replaces the instant coffee crystals. What’s great about [...]

If the new Cookie Madness banner has you craving brownies, here’s a good recipe. These brownies are excellent with a perfect not-too-cakey, not-too-fudgy texture. But take care to use a truly bittersweet or a less sweet chocolate for the “3 oz bittersweet chocolate”. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and the brownies were good, but on [...]
