Every 6 months or so the girls in our family get away for a weekend. We are grandmothers, mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, nieces, cousins, and in-laws.
There is always lots of laughter, fond memories, good conversation and food. Lots of good food! This is a place for us to share our recipes with each other.

Mom's brownies

The original recipe for these brownies was Grandma West's.
Aunt Martha said that she used to make them every Sunday, so they called them Martha's brownies.
But when my mom made them she increased the eggs from 4 to 5. So this is how SHE made this recipe.
So whether you call them Grandma's brownies, Martha's brownies, or Vicki's brownies, they are a family favorite!

Mom's Brownies
In a large mixing bowl put~
2 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar

~Mix well. Make a crater in the flour/sugar mixture and add~
4-5 eggs {Mom always used 5 eggs}

~ In a small sauce pan, melt together, on LOW heat~

2 cubes butter or margarine
4 { 1oz.} squares unsweetened baking Chocolate

~ If the heat's too high, the chocolate will burn. Melt completely. Pour into your mixing bowl that has the other ingredients.

 Mix together well.~
