Tasty Tuesday! Do You Have a Recipe to Share?

That is a picture of my cookbook.  Not very impressive in itself, but full of all different kinds of food that don't use dairy, beef or citrus.  I have been haunting Pinterest, AllRecipes.com, Better Homes and Gardens and The Old Farmers Almanac, to find recipes for foods I can  and will eat.  I have a lot of

allergies and intolerances, so it's not always easy to find good recipes with ingredients I can eat.  So last year I started keeping  a book and it's filled now with all kinds of things.  Recipes and tips and tricks.  So today I wanted to share a really tasty Brownie recipe that has unusual ingredients but tastes just like a regular brownie.

***I am not saying this is healthy it has a lot of sugar, but at least your getting protein and fruits/veggies at the same time.

1/2 cup or so of dairy free chocolate chips for the top (optional)

**I found that regular Hershey unsweetened cocoa powder gives the brownies a better consistancy than the Special Dark cocoa.
