Brown Sugar Brownies


Well, needless to say,I cant have chocolate right now. So, when I ran across this recipe. I had to try it. I have been craving sweets! It was a very easy recipe. I would probably make it again. Not a top favorite though. Of course i left out the nuts.

For Chocolate Brown Sugar Brownies, add 1 cup chocolate chips & bake for 25-30 minutes.

1 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 x 9 x 1-3/4 inch pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the flour mixture and the nuts until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool slightly.

Easy Cheese Enchiladas



We needed a meat free dinner. So, after searching lots of recipes. I came up with this one. It was easy & simple. We don't particularly like the red enchilada sauce, so I used green instead. Garnish with sour cream, olives
& lettuce if desired. Serve with rice & beans.

Serves 4

2 cans green chili enchilada sauce
10 soft flour taco shells
2 cups shredded montery jack cheese
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Pour 1/2 a can of sauce into a pie plate. Place a piece of foil on the counter (so that you don't have to clean up the counter). Then have your sprayed (pam)9 X 12 baking dish.
Mix the cheese's with the cumin in a bowl.
Dip both sides of tortilla shell into sauce. Place on foil & place about 1/3 cup cheese mixture in the center of the shell. Roll shell & place seam side down in baking dish. Continue to do this with the remaining shells & cheese.
Pour remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Top with any remaining cheese you may have, or extra if you would like.
Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes
