Amy's Brownies
Equipment:
*Measuring cup
*Measuring spoons
*Wire wisk (if none a dinner fork will work)
*Silicone spatula (optional, but helps get all the batter out of the bowl and works well for spreading...a large spoon will work if you don't have a spatula)
*Med-Large Mixing bowl (or you can do this on the stove with a 2 quart sauce pan)
*9 x 13 pan, prepared with a little oil or cooking spray. If "non-stick", go very light on the spray or it will be very difficult to spread the thick batter.
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs (cage free organic)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
3/4 tsp sea salt
Oven 350 for 25 minutes.
Melt butter in a med-large microwave safe mixing bowl. Add cocoa and blend throughly with the whisk until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Whisk in vanilla. Blend in eggs, one at a time and beat 5 seconds between each addition. Add sifted flour and salt, mixing until the batter is well incorporated and no lumps remain. Do not overmix or the batter will be floury and tough. Add batter to pan and spread flat to the corners. Bake 23-30 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like them.
Cool then cut into squares. Store in air tight container.
p.s
You can leave these plain and have with a cold glass of milk or dress them up any way you like with chocolate, flavored baking chips or nuts.

Add garlic and chicken at the same time and sauté chicken for 10 minutes. Add curry powder and continue sautéing for another 10 minutes. Then pour everything into a pot. Add water enough to cover mixture. Cook 15 minutes at medium-low heat. Cook another 10 minutes after adding potatoes.
