Chocolate Brownies






These brownies are an old family recipe.  My grandmother use to make them for my mom years ago.  I have to say, they came out really good!  I wish every recipe I cook was this easy!

Chocolate Brownies

1/2 Cup + 1 Teaspoon Vegetable Oil
3 Tablespoons Baking Cocoa
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 Cup Flour

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.  Preheat oven 350 degrees.  Grease an 8x8 pan.  Bake for 28 minutes.

Who Am I?



Hello,my name is Angie and I'm 34 year old who is a mother to 3 wonderful boys.  Now, that being said, most mom's are excellent cooks, I mean they should be since they have to provide 3 meals a day for their family.  Well, I have to say, I'm not one of those mothers.  My mother is, she's been cooking all her life and she's good at it.  She even made most of her food at her an my fathers wedding, 35 years ago.  I couldn't do anything like that.

So, today is a new day for me, and it's about time I start learning how to cook.  I can't keep relying on box macaroni & cheese, ramon noodles, hot dogs, hamburgers and spaghetti o's.  I want everything to home made.  This blog will show my progress and hopefully I will become a cook like my mom (or even better..not).
