Chocolate Cobbler

Chocolate Cobbler...can you say YUM!!! So, while I was browsing Pinterest, I saw a wonderful looking dessert called Chocolate cobbler. I was intrigued. I tried to get the recipe from the pin, but it wouldn't take me there, so I had to do things the old fashioned way and Google it!!! And I'm so glad I did...I looked at a couple of different recipes, but decided to go with an altered version from allrecipes.com. I have found that it really helps to read the reviews - a few people commented on how it used too much butter, so I went with one reviewers suggestion and cut down on the butter. So...here is the recipe I used: 4T. butter 1c. all purpose flour 1c. sugar 1 1/2t. baking powder 1/4c. unsweetened cocoa powder 1t. salt 1 1/4c. boiling water 3/4c. sugar 1 1/2T. unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2c. milk 1t. vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in an 8x8 baking dish while oven preheats. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4c. sugar, and 1 1/2t. cocoa (heaping spoonfuls). Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth. Pour over melted butter. Stir together 1c. sugar and 1/4c. cocoa. Slowly pour in water. Pour this over mixture in baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and ENJOY! It is a good thing I have a long run this weekend because I have been really overindulgent lately!!! This recipe is sooo easy and sooo delicious! I really hope you try it!!! Until next time...gotta eat'n run :)

Huevos Rancheros

I looked a couple of recipes up online for Huevos Rancheros and combined them! Neither called for cheese, but I couldn't have that!!! What is a Mexican dish without cheese??? This was super fast and easy. I can't believe that it took me so long to try this! So here's what I did...Heat your skillet with olive oil, brown the tortillas on each side, about a minute - place on cookie sheet. Cook eggs, sunny side up and place on top of torts. Put salsa in pan (I added more tomatoes to mine) and heat - put on eggs, add cheese and bake or broil until cheese is melted. Top with cilantro and enjoy!
