Brummel & Brown, for greasing the pan
Flour, for dusting the buttered pan
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 ounces Brummel & Brown
1 1/4 cups dutch process cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it’s done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it’s mostly cool.

Spaghetti Marco Polo

…adapted from Julia Child, as seen on Mr. Rogers, many, many, years ago. This is a very simple recipe, packed with carbs.

1/2 package of spaghetti (the normal size package)
1 can of tuna
4 oz of shredded swiss cheese
bundle of green onions, chopped
1 4 oz can black olives
1 4 oz jar of pimientos
Cook the spaghetti according to manufacturer instructions. Drain and place in bowl. Add the remainder of ingredients, toss, serve. You may want to sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese, for taste (and mouth feel).

Gene’s Beans

…it should be called Alison’s Beans, but I couldn’t help myself with the alliteration. Since everyone keeps asking for the recipe for Vegetarian Chimichangas, this seemed the appropriate place to post this recipe.

Vegetarian Chimichangas

2 c cole slaw mix (bagged)

1 c cheese

1 can black beans (14 oz)

1 c salsa

10-12 tortillas

Sour cream

Preheat the oven to 350°. Rinse the black bean in a colander. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (except the tortillas). Place roughly a palm-sized quantity in the middle of the tortilla. First, fold the bottom in, then the sides. Place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Bake 15 minutes at 350°. Serve topped with a little bit of sour cream.
