Recipes Cookbook - Gooey Mississippi Mud Brookies

Gooey Mississippi Mud Brookies | #Dessertrecipes #Sweetrecipes #Deliciousdesserts #Dessertbars #Brownierecipes #Sweetstreats #Brookiesrecipe #Dessertrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Deliciousdesserts #Dessertbars #Sweetrecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 Box brownie mix
  • Ingredients on the box (oil, eggs water)
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows, divided
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
  • For the cookie dough:
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

  Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, vegetable oil and water according to the instructions on the box. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Line a 9×13” pan with parchment paper or a baking mat. Pour the brownie batter over the baking mat and spread evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the top of the batter with ½ cup crushed pecans and ¾ cup of mini marshmallows and gently press into the brownie batter.
  5. Soften the butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Combine the butter with both light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and the mixture becomes fluffy.
  6. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until the egg is thoroughly incorporated.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Slowly add the flour mixture to dough batter while mixing at a low speed. Once all the flour has been added, increase speed to medium until dough forms. Add chocolate chips, remaining pecans and marshmallows last and fold into cookie dough.
  8. Take the cookie dough and drop chunks onto the top of the brownie mixture, gently pressing them down into brownie batter. Do you best to cover evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-28 minutes at 350°F. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting. Since I used a baking mat, I was able to completely remove the sheet of brookies from the pan before cutting. If the brownie is still too gooey, I suggest refrigerating before cutting.

Recipes Cookbook - Dairy-free Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo

Dairy-free Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo |#Wholefoodrecipes #Whole30diet #Realfoodrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Cleaneatingrecipes #Dietrecipes #Wholefoodrecipes #Cleaneatingrecipesfordinner #Healthydinnerrecipes #Dairyfreerecipesdinner #Deliciousglutenfreerecipes #Whole30dinners




Ingredients

  • 1 large spaghetti squash (about 3 lbs.), halved lengthwise and seeds removed
  • 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tsp. salt + more to taste
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk of choice)
  • ½ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced; plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  2. Place cashews in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Place a plate over the bowl to cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes while you prepare the squash and chicken.
  3. Line two rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. On one sheet, place halved squash cut side down. Place chicken thighs on the other sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Place baking sheets in preheated oven. Remove chicken after 25-30 minutes or when cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove chicken and cover with foil or a plate.
  5. Allow squash to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until tender. While the squash bakes it’s time to prepare the alfredo sauce.
  6. To prepare the alfredo sauce :
  7. Drain cashews and place in the canister of the Vitamix.
  8. Add nutritional yeast, 1 garlic clove, lemon juice, ½ tsp. salt and almond milk.
  9. Blend on high for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as needed, adding the additional clove of garlic and blending again if you’d like a more garlicky sauce. Sauce should be warm from blending. If not, replace the lid and blend another minute until warm (this is where the built-in blend timer comes in handy!)
  10. When squash is ready, carefully scrape flesh into a large bowl (or cast iron skillet) using a fork to create strands of ‘pasta’.
  11. Add diced chicken and toss with alfredo sauce. At this point, if your squash has cooled and if you used a skillet you can either place the skillet on the stove top over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until heated through or pop the entire skillet back into the still-warm oven for a few minutes to warm while you prepare a vegetable or salad side dish.
  12. Stir chopped basil into spaghetti squash mixture just before serving. Top with additional basil, as desired.
