What I'm Cooking This Weekend . . .
Chocolate . . . that's what I'm craving this weekend!
Not sure if it's because the weather as turned crisp and cool, almost overnight.
Or, because I haven't had memorable dessert in months?
Either way, the time has come for me to bake my famous Triple Chocolate Brownies!
I add lots of walnuts and pecans to my batch-but feel free to go nut free.
My only word of advice is to use a good quality chocolate . . . and make enough
to share!
Happy Cooking!
