I had been planning a tailgate football party with friends for a while now and I had had dreams of cooking all this amazing tailgate food, but life just got in the way. Thank goodness for friends who are fellow foodies, because my friend, Carmelita jumped in and did everything for an amazing tailgate. We had Hebrew Nat's, Beef Burgers, Turkey Burgers, Italian Sausage, peppers and onions and all the fixins. Everyone brought amazing sides and we were overkilled on the desserts. One of my friends made amazing butterscotch bars and delicious cheesecake squares. I never had a chance with her caramel brownies, they were gone instantly. We had no shortage of brownies, but is there really such a thing as too many brownies? I made Katharine Hepburn's Brownies, page 688 which I have made before as they are famous and have been published by a few cookbook authors. These are the best classic brownies, a perfect blend of fudgy & cakey. I also made the Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, page 674 and I am pretty sure these were perfect Peanut Butter Cookies. I always slightly overbake my bottom oven rack, but the top rack came out perfectly. This is an unbelieveably easy reciped also as it is only 4 ingredients. There is no excuse with this receipe for anyone to say they don't have time or can't bake. This is a recipe that busy mom's should keep on hand to use as lunchbox or afterschool snacks. Both these desserts stay fresh for a few days and traveled well in Tupperware containers.
Our tailgate party was a huge success, but sadly our game got rained on and only the die hard fans went to the game. I personally only go to the game for the party, so I stayed dry.
