Karen's Double-Deckers

By Alissa -
Another delicious recipe from my old supervisor. These scrumptious treats have a layer of brownie topped with a layer of chocolate chip cookie. I took these to a Super Bowl party yesterday and they went over well. Be sure to cool these completely before cutting, or you will end up with a sticky gooey mess. I made them at the last minute and made a mess trying to cut them too early. Once they were completely cooled, though, they came out in clean squares.

For the Chocolate Chip layer:
12 T (1.5 sticks) butter
1 C. brown sugar
1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 C. semisweet chocolate chips

For the Brownie layer:
12 T. butter (1.5 sticks)
3/4 C. Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/4 t. salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
3/4 C. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish; set aside.

For Chocolate Chip layer: in medium saucepan on medium heat, melt butter, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in the brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, mix the brownie layer. When butter mixture is cool, whisk in the egg and vanilla. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.

For Brownie layer: in a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Remove from heat. Whisk in the cocoa until smooth, then the sugar and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each just to blend. Stir in vanilla. With a rubber spatula, fold int he flour just until blended.

Scrape the brownie layer into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Drop large scoops of the chocolate chip dough over the brownie batter and spread evenly. Bake about 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. With sharp knife cut into 2-inch squares. Makes 2 dozen 2-inch squares. [6 WW pts each].

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
