Deep, Dark Brownies


These brownies are here for my husband.
I am not a huge brownie fan.
Unless you add mini marshmallows, broil them and add chocolate frosting.
So these are in honor of Lance who enjoys brownies.
They are adapted from Matt Lewis of Baked via Quest for Delish.

 

Ingredients
3/4 Cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter plus more for pan
5 ounces semisweet chocolate finely chopped or just use chocolate chips, about 1 C.
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 c. mini or regular semi sweet chocolate chips (optional but why wouldn't you add them?)
 
How You Do It
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8 inch square baking pan or line with parchment paper or foil and butter that.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large, heavy bottomed sauce pan melt butter over low heat and stir until butter has melted. Add chocolate, and stir constantly until mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. remove from heat, stir in both sugars until well combined.
Add eggs and vanilla and continue stirring until well incorporated and mixture no longer appears grainy. Sift flour mixture over batter and stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. I also added Kraft Jet-puffed Mallow Bits .
 
 
Pour batter into prepared baking pan; smooth top with the back of wooden spoon or a spatula.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 28 to 30 minutes. Be sure not to over bake. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into 9 brownies.

Today should be the last day of the potato harvest!
I survived!
Lance left for Wyoming yesterday to work in the oil fields {he's been trading me out at nights so I could be home with the kids to put them to bed and all that}which means I wouldn't have his help anymore, but now that we should be finishing up today, it was perfect timing.
I'm.so.ready.to.end.it.
I miss being home.
Hats off to you working moms.
You rock.
 
Now let's party!

Enchirritos {Recipe Re-do}

Here's another recipe re-do where I've posted a recipe before, but have since re-photographed the food and am re-posting it here for you.
These enchirritos are a favorite of mine. They are part enchilada, part burrito...hence the name.
The flavors are even better the next day as leftovers.
 

 Ingredients
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
4 c. water
3 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground sausage (I used a bacon flavored kind once and it was fabulous)
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 c. refried beans
8 flour tortillas (8 inch), warmed
3 c. shredded cheese (monteray jack or cheddar works great)
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, sour cream
 
What You Do
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir one minute or until thickened. Stir in chili powder and garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage, and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans; heat through.
Spread 1/4 c. sauce in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread 1 Tbsp. sauce in the center of a tortilla and spread around. Place 2/3 c. (use measuring cup for this and it comes out perfect) meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 c. shredded cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with optional toppings, if desired.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Donuts

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Donuts, darling
Tender and light, gluten-free pumpkin donuts, darling.


Pumpkin Crazy


You might think I'm on a pumpkin bender, glancing through recent recipes here on Gluten-Free Goddess®. And you'd be right. I do this. Every October. I go on one long, crazy, pumpkin love affair. I am head-over-heels nuts about it. Because pumpkin is magic. In fact, if pumpkin was in a fairy tale, it would be the Fairy Godmother- not the humble buggy. It makes gluten-free baking transform, you see, as if touched by a star-tipped sparkling wand.

That's why I knew I had to tackle pumpkin donuts. Because donuts can be tough to replicate gluten-free. But I knew pumpkin would bring me luck, and sprinkle good fortune on my baking endeavors today. So, yes. I am pumpkin crazy. Crazy in love.

And you know what?

If pumpkin be the food of love, play on.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies- Gluten-Free Recipe

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies- Gluten-Free Recipe
Gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a secret ingredient.

Reprising this autumn-inspired cookie recipe from the 2010 archives, because so many of you are new to gluten-free baking - and may have missed it!

Fall usually stirs my culinary imagination to conjure seasonal soup recipes and Crock Pot comfort food. The key word here is usually. Historically. As in, what I've done before, come the Autumn Equinox. This time around the season's wheel, however, my restless spirit has been wandering far and wide and away from dreams of butternut chili and baked rice casseroles toward the tempting, sweeter things in life.

As in cookies.

Cookies N' Fruit Pudding Salad

Remember this fruit dip?
Well this salad reminds me of it.
Only I used vanilla pudding in the salad, instead of White Chocolate pudding.
And this salad has cookies in it.
So they are not totally alike, but they are both totally amazing and totally addicting.



Ingredients
1 (5.1 oz) box Instant Vanilla Pudding
2 C. buttermilk
12 oz. Cool Whip
fruit of your choice (apples, grapes, bananas, etc.) cut up.
Shortbread Fudge Striped Cookies

Directions
  • In a bowl, mix together the pudding mix and buttermilk till smooth and thickened. 
  • Fold in the Cool Whip. 
  • Add the fruit you are using; refrigerate until ready to serve.
  •  Cut up the cookies and add them to the mix just before serving.
Note: I wait until right before serving to add the bananas and cookies so the bananas don't go brown and the cookies don't get soggy. If I am making this just for us at home, I don't add the cookies and bananas at all. I add it as we eat the salad so they don't sit in the fridge and get brown or soggy.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies - New Recipe

New gluten-free chocolate chip cookies - from the Gluten-Free Goddess
How do I say this? These new chocolate chip cookies are the best.

There are stirrings afoot here at Casa Allrich. Our gypsy boot heels are itching to wander yet again. Tugging at the threads of our daydreams. Stirring up old ghosts like some October trickster wind. Frayed old dreams folded neatly away and tucked quietly behind the stack of responsibility are getting aired out with a vengeance and enlivening discussions once again. That trip to the Cape got us thinking.

But before I speak too soon, there are chocolate chip cookies to ponder.

The subject of cookies is a favorite topic on Gluten-Free Goddess, and for good reason. I've written about cookies before- in posts too numerous to count.

So why are these different?

Why are these chocolate chip cookies blog worthy?

I will tell you darling.

Because they are golden and gently crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy within. Like the cookie you remember- that gorgeous, sweet caramel bite of homemade love. Warm from the oven these taste remarkable like the classic Toll House cookie recipe I baked a thousand times.

I credit the new flours and fat I used.

Gone is the brown rice flour. Gone is shortening. I've nixed the tapioca starch. And the result is a truly wonderful, soft dough that tastes closer to a real Toll House cookie than any other gluten-free chocolate chip cookies (though delicious!) I've baked.

So while we here at Casa Allrich discuss our future plans to ramble, bake up a batch of these- for your own road not taken.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

Gluten free pumpkin streusel muffins
My new pumpkin muffin recipe- with streusel topping.



This isn't a Halloween post. Or a Thanksgiving post. Technically. Though Thanksgiving is just a stone's throw away- if you somehow conjure a metaphorical stone to metaphorically hurl into the time-space continuum, piercing the veil of eight and a half weeks that blows by in a singular exhale, surely faster than light. And this exhale, it was only following a previous breath- a breath I took yesterday- which turns out to be one year ago. A year since that Pumpkin Praline Pie I baked. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around this.

This is a post about time.

Some days I feel as if I am slave to the calendar, an unwitting cog in the wheel of the year with Sundays and holidays appointed by proxy, designated by some superior force that rules my random wandering nature with an unforgiving fist, demanding obedience. Charting the course of my life.

Then I remember the truth.
