Not a Recipe :p

A hundred years ago when I had lots of company and had to carry food around - I used to do this....
Just make a recipe for a small (8" or 9" pan) batch or mix of brownies and add lots and lots of nuts but bake it in a 9 x 13" pan. Watch them carefully so the thin brownies don't burn. When its done slice into 3 large, equal slices.

Soften a half gallon of good vanilla ice cream so you can cut that into thick slices. Put the first brownie slice on a serving platter and top it with a slice of ice cream. Top that with another slice of brownie, then more ice cream then the last slice of brownie. Put the whole thing in the freezer so the ice cream gets solid again.

Start whipping some cream, add some sugar and a big spoon of baking cocoa so you get chocolate whipped cream. Use that to frost the brownies and ice cream. Let it soften a bit before serving.

Baked Zucchini - an original recipe by meeeee

I grew the zucchini in my veggie garden so I'm having to guess and the amt. and size (based on the ones I used):


6 medium zucchini (cut in half - length-wise)

Place with the sliced side down in a glass baking dish or bowl lightly coated in Extra Light Olive Oil

Cover with Foil (and poke small holes in the center to release some heat)

Cook at 375 degrees for 10 mins.

Turn each piece of zucchini and sprinkle (lightly) with grated cheddar cheese.

Cook at 325 for 20 mins., then, turn each piece and cook at 325 for 20 mins.

Remove zucchini and sprinkle lightly with grated Parmesan cheese. Cook at a "warm" oven temp. or remove and place in microwave for warming prior to serving. (The duration for "warming" or heating in a microwave will depend on what other dishes are being served and how cooked :). Just heat before serving the zucchini and serve hot.)
