Happy 4TH of July!!







We're cooking out today like everybody else! I'm going to bar-b-que some chicken and put a pork butt on too! That, with potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans and brownies, should just about kill us!

Brownies:
by Tweety Grams
40 min 15 min prep
Serves 8 -10
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
The first 3 ingredients cook over a stove on medium heat, till margarine melts. Remove from heat, add the eggs and vanilla. Then add the remaining ingredients. Stir in the walnuts. Put in a greased 8 inch squared pan, bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
This is the glaze that goes with the recipe, I substituted home-made chocolate icing.
Cocoa Glaze:
1 cup icing sugar (aka: confectioners or powdered)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons margarine (soft)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Combine icing sugar, and cocoa powder. Beat in margarine, add 1-2 tbsps of boiling water to make a smooth glaze.
