TWD - Dorie's Chocolate Cherry Brownies

-
Those of you who truly know me know it would be hard for me to resist a good brownie.   I have indulged in dark chocolate ones, brownies filled with nuts, brownies with peanut butter swirls, and some with toffee.  Dorie Greenspan does it up right with her version that is chock full of dried cherries and rich semi-sweet chocolate.  No nuts in these.  For those of you who love oooey gooey goodness, this is the one.  The only problem I had with these is they were hard to slice evenly because of the gooeyness.  Is gooeyness a real word??  If not, it is for purposes of this blog post!



wouldn't one of these be great with a glass of ice cold milk?  

check out the other bakers at tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com.    And grab a copy of Dorie's book Baking with Chez Moi.   Lots of wonderful desserts in her book!

Your brownies looks wonderful! We love them too! Their fudgy "gooeyness" is what makes it so good! Yum!

I know, I know, I told you I would make these but I looked at all that chocolate and just couldn't work myself into it...chocolate and I are not friends. I thought my guys would really love these so maybe I can make them sometime soon. I have to be in the right kind of mood to do the chocolate handling, stirring, baking, etc. Just not there this week. This goes for liver as well. Same deal. lol my friends all tell me there is no way those two are even remotely similar. Well, maybe not to THEM! :-)

Your brownies look wonderfully gooey and fudgy with a perfect crackly top. I'm glad you enjoyed them. I thought they were fantastic with a glass of cold milk

I also wondered about the word gooey-ness! There's really no other way to describe them!

I love me some gooey brownies! I think Zosia commented in her blog post that she found putting the brownies in the fridge to chill after they had cooled, and then cutting them with a warm knife, seemed to help with the gooeyness and the cherry explosion. But whatever the cutting style, they're just plain yummy!

I had to wipe my knife a bit half way through slicing but the gooeyness was appreciated by the consumers so I think it was worth the extra trouble. They look pretty tasty.

The look great! These were tasty, weren't they? (I pop my brownies into the freezer for about twenty minutes - makes for easier/cleaner cutting.)

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Image
Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
