Chewy Brownies from the Jr League

I'm thinking I'll go ahead and try this brownie recipe from the Jr. League's cookbook. I haven't had a whole lot of luck with homemade brownie recipes. I mean, they're chocolate and I'll eat them. My boys will eat them, but remind me that they "don't taste like brownies". We'll see how it goes.


Chewy Brownies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

6 tablespoons baking cocoa

2 cups sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped nuts (optional, I left them out!)

Directions: Combine the butter and baking cocoa in the top of a double broiler over simmering water (or use two different-sized pans if you don’t have a double broiler). Cook until the butter is melted, stirring frequently. Remove the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the sugar and eggs quickly. Fold in the flour, vanilla and nuts. Pour into a buttered 8X8 inch or 9X9 inch baking pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes; do not overbake. Remove to a wire rack and let cool for 1 hour. Cut into squares.

Makes 12 servings.

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa...

My Version of Homemade Taco/Mexican Seasoning

There's a lots of these around, so I made up one of my own. We really like it, so I'm trying to get it all documented so we can re-make it when we run out. Angie's Homemade Mexican Taco Seasoning 1 TBSP Garlic Powder 1 TBSP Onion Powder 1 TBSP Himalayan or Sea Salt 1 TBSP Cumin 1 TBSP Crushed (dried) Cilantro 2 tsp Chipotle Chile Pepper powder 1 tsp white pepper (powder) I use the crushed/dried/powdered form of all of these because I put it in a glass spice jar and shake it on stuff.
