Walnut Brownie Recipe

For Valentine’s, I debated whether  I should make these Walnut Brownies into heart shapes.  There are so many posts of heart-shaped cookies, cakes, and brownies, posted on the net these past few days for me it was way too much.  I thought about it for a while and decided not to make heart-shaped brownies this year.  Instead, I made these brownies with love :).  Yes, I know this might sound funny or ridiculous, but the truth is that when I cook or bake everything is made with love because I love it.  Of course, I do have my moments of not wanting to cook and just wanting to order or go out but those are rare times.

I have posted two brownie recipes on my blog in the past, a flourless brownie recipe and the other was a traditional recipe, but this time I went with walnuts, I wanted to give these brownies a nuttier taste.  Nuts and Chocolate yum! I was going to top these brownies off with colorful sprinkles but when I tried one out it was just too much the walnuts and the sprinkles.  One important step that I take is I shift the flour, so don’t forget to shift both flour and cocoa powder.  I also used Caster sugar (superfine sugar) instead of white sugar the reason is that Caster sugar is finely grounded, a better option for baking.   The texture is slightly fudgy and crunchy on top so if you’re not into crunchy or fudgy don’t try this recipe. :).

(BTW I love anything heart-shaped)

It’s Superbowl weekend, I’ve always been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and my brother has always been a Dallas Cowboys fan!!  wishing Good luck to the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs!!

 

Wishing everyone

Happy Valentine’s day!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
