Stuck inside? I have been the last few days due to the crazy snow we've been getting here in DC. It's hard to run to the grocery store, especially when they are practically out of supplies as well! So when I had a hankering for brownies the other night, I checked my pantry and realized that I didn't have a box o' brownies on hand to bake. So I quickly flipped through my beautiful Good Housekeeping cookbook and came across a recipe for Cocoa Brownies, and amazingly, I had just enough ingredients! Turns out these were really good too. Hope you'll try them too, whether you're snowed in or sitting in sunshine.
Oh, and if you're wondering why there isn't a picture, they just didn't last that long!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 t. vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (4 ounces), optional
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9"x9" pan (metal or glass). In a 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in sugar. With a wooden spoon, stir in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until well blended.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and next three ingredients; stir flour mixture into saucepan until blended. If using, stir in walnuts.
Spread the batter evenly in pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
