Brownies

I have to ask are there really people out there who don’t love chocolate?  I know there are, but not in my house.  I love chocolate cake but I haven’t had much luck in finding a great brownie recipe until I talked to my cousin about it and she told me her secret for making amazing brownies! These are not just great, these are the best.  Fudgy, chocolaty and moist and simply amazing.

My cousin spent the day with us baking up a storm at my niece’s house in Stouffville.  It is always so wonderful to get together with people you haven’t seen in a long time, there’s always so much to catch up on.

How I will miss all these cousins, nieces, sisters and friends when my long-awaited visit comes to an end, but at the same time I am also excited to go back to my house in Italy and start cooking new recipes in my own kitchen.

That evening I made my homemade baked pasta with a yellow tomato sauce instead of a red sauce because my niece is allergic to red tomatoes.

The baked pasta and brownies were a major success with her fellow hockey team players who she invited over for a small Italian meal before their game.

Unfortunately there were a lot of chocolate lovers at the table so there wasn’t a crumb left for us the next day.   Next time I will make two pans and bigger ones!  Enjoy!
