A good brownie recipe is essential to every family.  These Katharine Hepburn Brownies are not only fabulous- they are so quick and so easy, this may just become your go-to brownie recipe.

The story, as reported in the New York Times, is that this is Katharine Hepburn’s favorite brownie – the trick:  Don’t put in too much flour, and don’t over bake them.

I love that these brownies mix in one pot- easy!  I also love that they are loaded with walnuts – my personal favorite way to enjoy a brownie!  These brownies definitely live up to their All-Star heritage!

When is a brownie more than just a brownie?  When it’s topped off with gooey marshmallows, toasted pecans and smothered in chocolate.

These Mississippi Mud Brownies are highly addictive!  I don’t make them unless I know I have some place to take and share them – otherwise, I might just eat the entire pan myself!  This is one recipe you need to put at the top of your “must make soon” list-  You won’t be sorry, I promise!

Summer months bring lots of get together with food and fun.  And what’s a good summer potluck without chocolate cake?  When I saw this recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake in Southern Living, my taste buds immediately went back to Church potlucks and a woman who always made this mayonnaise cake.  At the time I admit it sounded a little weird, but after one bite I was as believer!

The mayo acts like sour cream to give this cake a rich and moist flavor.  Top it off with cream cheese frosting and you’ll see how fast this cake disappears! Read More
