Mocha-Bourbon Chewy, Fudgy Brownies

Mocha-Bourbon Chewy, Fudgy BrowniesI’m a chewy, fudgy brownie-type of woman.  Cake brownies are well, just cake, really.  Brownies should be dense and moist and rich.  These brownies are all that, but they have the added bonus of coffee and bourbon.  We’ll say these are “adult” brownies…I think they’re better the next day, but they’re damn fine, just out of the oven and cooled for maybe 15 minutes, too…damn fine!

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website.  And I do mean I “just” found it.  It sounded great; I liked the idea of it.  It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes!  What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner!  Continue reading →

119I think it’s fair to say that most of us don’t think, “zucchini and chocolate…MMMMM.  Now there’s a combination made in heaven!”  I know I didn’t.  But guess what?  You should absolutely think good and happy thoughts about that combination, because this is an absolutely delicious cake.  Continue reading →

bourbon, butter, Chocolate, cocoa powder, corn syrup, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla

042 - CopyIt’s all about the sauce.  And this is a fantastic version, the Russian Sable of Fudge Sauces.  This is THE Fudge Sauce.  Okay, so you get that it’s really good, right?  The Flying Librarian makes a hot fudge that may, may be even better than this, but she refuses to give me the recipe…some nonsense about swearing on her son’s life, so she won’t give out the recipe.  Sometimes you just have to take the risk.  It’s fudge sauce.  Is she kidding?  Continue reading →

In my last posting, I mentioned using cinnamon in a savory manner.  So here we are….

016In centuries past, like a lot of spices, cinnamon was traded by the Arabs (remember the infamous spice route?).  The Moors were in the Iberian peninsula for over 700 years, bringing with them many flavors and products previously unknown to that part of the world, cinnamon being one of them.  Continue reading →
