Ganache-Topped Brownie Bites

Mix together a box of Brownies like you would regularly. Then put the batter into a mini cupcake pan. Bake 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pan and then cool completely.

In 1-quart saucepan heat 2/3 cups whipping cream on low heat just to boiling. Then remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. Make sure it melts completely. Then let the ganache stand for about 15 minutes.

Take the ganache and spread it over the brownie bites (I usually dip them in a clean up the drip with a knife cause I'm lazy like that).

Top with a raspberry. I find that cutting the raspberry in half works well...plus you can make the package go further and the raspberry is less prone to try to roll off.

So there you have it folks. Sorry for the long wait on the recipe.

Ed's Meatloaf

1 lb Ground Turkey
1 Package Turkey Sausage
1 Cup Oatmeal
1 Egg
Garlic
Worcestershire sauce
Onion
Seasons you like

This is not an exact recipe but with meatloaf it doesn't need to be. Once you get the main things the rest is just a toss in. Because he uses the turkey this is a really healthy meal and very good and a favorite of the kids.

Cook on 375 until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

This is also a great thing to make ahead and freeze and just cook on a busy night you don't feel like cooking.
