Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies

Note: These were rich and heavy, but they would not swirl for me as described in the original recipe. Oh well, they were still delicious.

Ingredients
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter (melted)
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup walnuts (chopped)
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl mix together melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs (one at a time). Add in the flour mixture, a little at a time and stir until the batter is evenly moistened. Divide the batter in half evenly into 2 separate bowls.

In one of the bowls blend in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. In the second bowl of batter stir in pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

Spread ½ of the chocolate batter mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Pour ½ of the pumpkin batter mixture over that. Repeat the layers, ending with a pumpkin layer. Drag a kitchen knife or spatula through the layers in a swirling motion creating a marble appearance.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and cut into squares.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Caramel Apple Jam

Note: Recipe makes approximately 6 pints.  If planning on canning, prepare the water bath during step 1.   Ingredients 6 cups apples, diced and peeled (1/8 inch cubes, roughly – this takes about three pounds of whole apples) 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon butter 1 package (1.75 ounces) powdered fruit pectin 2 1/2 cups sugar 2 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Directions 1) In a pan, combine the apples with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon butter. Cook over low heat, stirring regularly, until apples are soft. Approximately 1 hour. 2) Once the apples are soft, stir in the pectin & bring to a rolling boil. 3) Add white & brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir to combine.  Mixture will thicken. Bring it back to a rolling boil. Stir constantly and let it boil for one minute. 4) Remove from heat. Ladle into jars.  If canning, process immediately.  Otherwise, let jam cool before putting on lids and refrigerating. source:  “Caramel Apple Jam”
