Savory Saturdays

This isn't a family recipe, but it's always been in my family and is one of my favorites that Mom used to make.  While the final product looks like a brownie when cut into pieces, the flavor is more unique and rich.

Sharing these recipes with you has brought back such fond memories, that I hope to continue this every Saturday.  May you enjoy every bite!
