My friend “L’s” (remember San Fran?) birthday is Cinco de Mayo (May 5th).  I love when my friends have birthdays on holidays.

My blogging friend VeggieLove mentioned her cheesecake brownie recipe in her comments to my post on the sugar cookie recipe.  I asked if she’d mind sharing it with us and she quickly agreed!  Yay!
I haven’t tried to make them yet, but here is her recipe:

You make your standard brownie recipe (mine’s 1.5 sticks butter, 4 squares chocolate, vanilla, and salt, [...]

Yet again, I love Receipzaar.  Their contributors offer a lot of great recipes and the nutritional information is always available for the recipes. 
This time, it’s this dark chocolate brownie recipe that’s fantastic!  I’ve made them several times and they always go fast.  They’re a perfect combination of chewy, soft, and crunchy.  This photo doesn’t do it [...]
