Recipes from Pat

Proudly announcing, from the kitchen of Pat Howard (DRUM ROLL PLEASE!)---- MY FIRST RECIPE POST!

Pat actually gave me the following recipes to e-mail to Jackie. She has noticed that Jackie has a "thing" for recipes! LOL I thought it would be fun to post them here instead for everyone else who wants to give them a try. They sure sound tempting and I can't wait! By the by: Pat tested out as Rachel Ray on our infamous chef test! {APPLAUSE,APPLAUSE}

THIS IS A SIMPLE DESSERT !! CHOCOLATE FUDGE PIE
1/2 cup butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chopped walnuts or pecans (or your favorite)

Melt butter and chocolate together. Mix flour and sugar and add to chocolate mixture. Add eggs and vanilla. Pour into an 8X8 pan (prepared). Cover with chopped nuts. Bake at 325 for 25 or 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Of course, whipped topping or ice cream are GREAT toppings for this!

Enjoy! I need a photo of Pat to post here, don't I?? Or better yet - let's take a vote. Who thinks Pat should "assimilate" and start her own blog?? Leave your vote on comments here please!
