Tiger Stripe Brownies

These take me way back to my childhood when I used to get together with my best friends and we would make these, watch movies, then scarf them all down.  For me there is nothing better than a warm dessert topped with ice cream. And these hit the spot. A warm brownie with swirls of peanut butter. I've been making these for over 10 years, so you know they must be good! Ingredients: 1/3 cup chocolate chips  1 Tbs butter 1/3 cup peanut butter 2 Tbs vegetable oil 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 sugar 2 eggs 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 325, and grease an 8x8 baking dish 2) Melt chocolate and butter in a microwave safe dish, until melted, stirring every 30 sec. (about 1-2 min) 3) In a separate bowl, beat peanut butter and oil for 1 min 4) Add sugars and beat until mixed. 5) Add eggs one at a time until combined.  6) Add vanilla, flour and salt 7) Take 1/3 cup of the mixture and add it to the chocolate mixture.

Curry Chicken in the Crockpot

Image
I love Indian food. I have tried numerous recipes at home trying to replicate the wonderful flavors that come from the authentic restaurants - no such luck. This recipe comes pretty darn close though. I think the simmering in the crock pot helps bring the spices out and hide the tomato taste. I like it spicy so I added cayenne and red pepper flakes - you can always omit these or lower these if you don't want the spice. Ingredients: 1.5 lb chicken, diced 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes 1 large onion, diced (or 2 small) 3 garlic cloves 3 TBS butter 2 TBS ginger 1 cup chicken broth 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) 1/4 cup diced cilantro 1 cup sour cream Spice mix: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 TBS brown sugar 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp turmeric 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp garam marsala 2 tsp chili powder Directions: 1. In slow cooker, combine tomatoes, onions, garlic, butter, ginger, and
