Julia Child's Brownies

Oops! Sorry! If you saw this page looking blank earlier, it's because I didn't mean to hit publish. I was making a place holder of all the yummy stuff I've made recently and need to blog about. So, here goes!

This past week I pulled out my Baking with Julia cookbook. Frannie had been bugging me to make croissants because I refused to buy her the Pillsbury version in a can at the grocery. I wanted to see what it takes to make them from scratch. (Dang! A whole lot of time!) But somehow along the way, I looked to see if Julia had a brownie recipe. I sorta thought she might be above that, but I was pleased to see she wasn't.

This recipe was quite a bit unlike other brownie recipes I've made and everyone around here thinks it's to die for!

Cakes

Here's a selection of some of the fun cakes I've made.

Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy

I do this to myself; I know. I'm always trying to make every occasion FABULOUS. Well, when the girls have someone spend the night, we like to make a fun breakfast in the morning. (Crepes, pancakes, waffles, etc.) Somehow, somewhere, I heard of the idea for chocolate gravy.  I mean, aren't hot steamy biscuits enough? Not anymore.

Holy Pumpkin, Batman!
