My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Fabulous Bourbon Brownies

It seems around the holidays a number of things I cook will have liquor in it, bourbon, rum, vermouth, wine, etc. Well it is the holidays!

You might as well double the recipe because these will be gone before you get one.

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

  1. These sound fantastic, Bev. If I don't have bourbon, could I use a can of beer? Umm, that might not produce the same outcome. Never mind. :) Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

  2. Bev, does the amount of bourbon in them make you tipsy? I know that may sound dumb, but I never baked anything with "stuff" in it. What a sad state of affairs that is!!!!...:)JP

  3. The alcohol actually bakes out and you are left with the beautiful mellow flavor. Now my Bourbon Balls are a different story. You might want to eat those at home, no driving involved. Just kidding.
