Captain Wombat's Super Fluffy Brownies



After Riley made dinner, Dylan - dubbed 'Captain Wombat' by his teacher - whipped up some triple chocolate-molasses brownies. He wanted to add different kinds of chocolate chips and nuts. He did a great job. These were decadent and moist, more cakey than fudgey. Perfect.

6 large eggs
2 C organic granulated sugar
3 T unsulphered molasses
1 t ground ancho chili
12 oz melted butter
2 C unsweetened cocoa
2 t chocolate extract
1 C white whole wheat flour
1 C bittersweet chips
1 C white chocolate chips
1 C sliced almonds
1/2 t pink Himalaya salt

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter baking pan. In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients, except flour, chips, and almonds and mix to combine. Add remaining ingredients and stir till just moistened.


Scrape the batter into a greased and floured pan and bake for 60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick method. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
