Three Ingredient Nutella Brownies

Today is Friday!

TGIFF if you know what I mean. Today I needed Friday equally as much as I needed chocolate. The food gods were smiling down on me this morning with this recipe from epicurious.com (isn't Epicurious the Greek god of food or something?). Three Ingredient Nutella Brownies SOUND like someone is punking us but they are totally real and they are glorious! Fun fact about Nutella: my daughter used to be allergic to hazelnuts, and a medical professional SAID we (she) HAD to eat Nutella (hazelnuts) a few times a week to help her grow out of her allergy. We followed those doctor's orders like he was curing her of leprosy. And we prevailed! She can eat hazelnuts now! See what a good mom I am! Also I have gone on an outing to downtown Chicago just to go to the Nutella Cafe. "Pride" isn't the word I would use exactly- unless that's what you were thinking because then I would. Dedication. Determination. Longing. All work.

Decadent. Easy. Stackable.

Three Ingredient Nutella Brownies But actually 4 ingredients?

Recipe by epicurious.com

Yield: 9 brownies 

Ingredients

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. kosher salt They were just estimating on number of ingredients. Whatever! It's fine, you have salt.

Instructions

1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking pan. With your butter wrappers people!

2) Beat eggs on low speed with paddle attachment of stand mixer. Once combined, add the Nutella. Once those are combined, add the flour and salt. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl as you combine ingredients.

mmmmm...silky

Now, this batter is messy, so when you get it on your fingers, you go ahead lick it off. Show those medical professionals that you laugh in the face of their silly recommendations. But wash your hands after. Keep it professional.

3) Pour batter into greased pan. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. My "cake tester" was clean after 25 minutes.

Here is what they look like fresh outta the oven. My kids loved the crisp, flaky top.

Here's them looking delicious near some flowers.

Chicken Piccata, Lemony Orzo & Caesar Salads for a Crowd

Image
  Today is Monday. The inlaws are coming! The inlaws are coming! Quick, clean the house and the children! Steve, go jump in the shower four minutes before their arrival time!  ...Pulled out all the stops for a lil MLK cele with my inlaws tonight. Meaning we had carbs on a Monday and set the table with knives and everything. I chose tonight's dinner very carefully, as my mother-in-law is quite the picky eater (see my dissertation on picky eaters posted below). She doesn't eat fruit or veggies or seeds or nuts or carbs or bones in chicken or cheese or stinky foods or spice. SO, I used two of the requests I got this week: one for Chicken Piccata and one for recipes with <10 ingredients and came up with this feast we all went to TOWN on. We had Chicken Piccata, lemony orzo, Caesar salads, and chocolate cupcakes 4ways (more on those another day). Nom nom nom...she even ate carbs. And garlic. And anchovies! Don't tell her.                Auntie G's Chicken Piccata   Serves

Crispy Sheet Pan Fish Tacos

Today is Tuesday. And for once, it's Taco Tuesday here! See, I can be fun. OK they were pretty healthy and Steve ate all the chips and salsa at lunch today. So I am as fun as healthy tacos, no chips, and no margaritas can be. Around here it's better than usual. Sheet Pan Crispy Fish Tacos  Recipe from Rhonda Boone. Ingredients So little makes me feel so big. 1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds (pepitas) ¿Que pasa? Sí. OK normally no way, skip! BUUUUT I actually, super coincidentally, always get the same salad from Chik-fil-A and it comes with a bag of chipotle lime pepitas. I save them for recipes like this!I had three bags of them, which only got me about 1/2 cup crushed seeds, but it still counts as kitchen serendipity. Normally I would never have pumpkin seeds unless it was early November. You can replace with literally anything crunchy or omit. I would have likely gone with pistachios if I wasn't awesome like I was tonight. But using expired salad toppings from a fast food joint

Lentil Stew with Poached Eggs

Image
Today is Tuesday. Probably Taco Tuesday for you, but for us, it's Lentil Soup With An Egg In It Tuesday a/k/a Vegetarian Torture Day! Don't stop reading! I swear, lentils are friends, not tiny beads of torture. They are a delicious, inexpensive source of protein with endless shelf lives. Paired with an egg? This is a DOUBLE protein meal if you think about it. Like putting a chicken wing on top of a hamburger patty. Or "surf and turf with a spoon," if you will. AND, since it's such a healthy dinner, I let everyone dip warm, crusty garlic bread in it. My kids are much more amenable to trying fearsome foods while their hands are filled with hunks of bread, like little edible carbohydrate safety blankets. Actually, the middle kid brought lentil soup to school in a pink princess thermos today. She may have a bit of a bathroom situation later tonight, but I still giggle thinking about her like a small Sicilian peasant child in a kerchief, spooning in her lentils, hoping

Liz: On Picky Eaters

Picky eaters? Never liked ‘em. Don’t really believe them either. I allow everyone maybe five foods they truly hate. You like mushrooms. You do! You may just need to give them another chance. There are so many different ways to prepare different foods and so many different seasonings and sauces that I just can’t believe someone when they tell me they don’t like something. I usually blame the parents. It’s probably your mom’s fault you think you don’t like fish or green beans. Well, you are the chef now, and food has come a long way since your mom was cooking for you every night. If I can learn to love a good honey balsamic marinade when honey is the most disgusting food on the planet, you can do it too! And any little people in your home may just follow suit. ;0)
