Skillet Brownie

Are you ready for your Oscar Party? You may be scaling back your menu this year, but make sure everything you serve is decedent. Don't stress yourself on spending alot of money. You can also make your party potluck or a dessert party.

I wanted to share this luscious recipe with you as an idea for your Oscar Party. I found this recipe in the latest edition of Everyday Food. I made it immediately because I knew my clients would love it. What can I say, we ladies love us some chocolate.

If you make this, be sure to write me with your reviews. It is definitely a recipe full of kosher soul!

Ingredients:

Serves 10
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt.

2) In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet, bring butter and cream to a simmer over medium. Add chocolate; reduce to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate has melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let cool 5 minutes.

3) Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture, whisking until blended (reserve skillet). Fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into skillet.

4) Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Serve from skillet, warm or at room temperature.

Cilantro Shake & Apple Cereal

I am almost finished researching on which way I want to proceed with the
blog. There are so many options, but I am narrowing it all down. It is fun
and exciting to see what the opportunities are for a food blogs! YUM!

If you are like me, you ate your share of heavy food and had more than
enough to drink during the December holidays. Now we try scale back to get our body
back together. It is time to incorporate a little bit more raw food into
the diet. I like to have my raw food in the morning so that I do not feel heavy
during the day. Here are two of my favorite recipes that would be great for
you in the morning: Apple Cereal and a Cilantro Shake. I know that cilantro
is a hate it or love it item, so omit if you are not a fan.

Nosh on,
