Brownies

February 4, 2020 · In: Dessert, Recipes


Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is the brownie recipe that I go to time and time again. It is an amalgam of lots of different recipes I have tried over the years, and I like it because I can mix this together in less time than it takes the oven to preheat.

Do not skip the instant espresso powder! This ingredient does not yield brownies that taste like coffee. Rather, the coffee wakes up the flavor of the chocolate making it come alive and sing. Ina taught me this trick, and it is a winner.

These brownies have a delicate crust on top with a fudge-like texture inside. As with all brownies, they freeze beautifully. And, if you want your brownies to be bakery-case perfect with sharp, beautiful corners, always chill them in the pan thoroughly before slicing.

I took a spring break field trip to Dallas with my friend Nicole, and our sole purpose was to eat lunch at Loro.

Did we order half the menu for only the two of us? We did. 

Was every bite totally worth it? Absolutely.

In an effort to get inspired to add a touch of spring to my home, I did an internet deep-dive to create what I think is a beautiful collection of inspiring images designed to spark my inner home-decor maven.​​​​​​​​

The result is a game-plan for small ways I am planning on fluffing my home for spring without redecorating every room.​​​​​​​​

No, we didn’t travel with the dog. Yes, we did travel halfway with toddlers. Yes, we broke down on the side of the highway and rode in a tow truck. Apart from that drama, it was lots of food, coffee, band, shopping, hanging, filling out Oscar ballots, and watching Lillian master the hoverboard.
