Dear friends,

I’ve got some good news and bad news.  The bad news is that my lease ran out and I no longer have an inspected kitchen, therefore I cannot legally sell my baked goods anymore.  The good news is that now I can post recipes!  If I’m not trying to sell the yummy things I make, there is no reason why I can’t tell you how to make them, right?  To be perfectly honest I prefer giving things away to selling things anyway, so this really suits me more.

What I want everyone to know about right now are these amazing amazing brownie recipes by Hannah Kaminksy.  I normally like to make my own recipes, but I came across these and are they are so fudgy and dense and chewy and chocolatey and perfect that I’ve just got to give her major props.   It was love at first bite.  Believe me, I am picky about my brownies.

Best Brownies Ever

Yes those are oreos in there.   I think it’s the oreos that push them into the realm of beyond perfection.  They call for vegan sour cream, which can be a bit pricey, but you can substitute puréed tofu and it’ll give it the same fudgey density.  Also, if you can’t find the bittersweet chocolate it calls for, use half unsweetened bakers chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate chips, and it will result in the most perfect dark chocolate flavor that will have you yearning for a tall glass of soymilk.

I’ve been modeling lately and I brought a batch of these fabulous brownies in for the models and crew at School House.  Pretty sure the crew ate more than the models did…  Incidentally, although it isn’t food related, I feel like the School House line fits in perfectly with the ethics of many vegans in that the factory workers are paid living wages in Sri Lanka.
