Karen and I were talking the other day about how we hadn’t posted much on our Recipe For Disaster site for way too long. The main reason being that summer doesn’t seem to be a time to try many new recipes. You throw some kind of meat on the barbeque and eat a lot of finger food (do potato chips count as “finger food”?).
Add to that the fact that Karen was working MORE than full time hours, as well as balancing being a mom to 2 kids under the age of four. My excuse? Being pregnant and a little uncomfortable. And maybe a little grumpy.
The day I gave birth to Emily, some of the girls came to visit (Amanda, Adele, Tianna and Erin). They brought treats and magazines. One of which was Fine Cooking’s Chocolate magazine:
I love, love, LOVE it! Not only does it have the most amazing chocolate recipes, it also has tips for baking with chocolate, etc. I like to cook, but I lurve to bake. I have pored over the pages of this magazine many times in the past few weeks.
I tried my first recipe from there this weekend (the fudgy brownies) and they are un-be-lievable. Seriously.
I plan on trying more of these recipes - at least one a week. That and some new supper recipes from the Real Simple magazine they also brought to me.
So, for those of you who have given up checking our recipe site, there is hope. I am back in action and I’m sure Karen will be too. She’s the true supermom. I just may buy her a cape for Christmas.
Enjoy!

I always am on the lookout for good chocolate recipes. I might try those brownies today.

Aw, shucks. If I get a cape, you get one too! Maybe an apron…..?
A cape is, actually, a fantastic gift idea. I think that you should do it! Yummmy choco… thanks!
