Old-Fashioned Cocoa FUDGE GLEE! (Gluten-free) Brownies

This has been my family's favorite fail-proof brownies recipe for years... mouthwatering!
Adapted from Gourmet Magazine (circa 1986):

Preheat oven to: 350F
(grease and GF flour a 9 x 9" pan)

In a bowl beat until creamy:
3/4 cups soft butter or margerine
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teas vanilla

Add to above mixture and beat until fluffy:
2 large eggs (one at a time)

Sift into above mixture and stir gently until just combined:
3/4 c gluten-free baking flour (I prefer "Pamela's")
1/2 c dark unsweetened cocoa powder
dash of salt

Stir in (just a few strokes):
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (most are GF but check ingredients)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Spread into greased/flour pan and bake 30 mins at 350F.
Cool, cut, and enjoy!

Scrumptious GLEE (gfree) Stuffing

I made this gluten-free stuffing at Thanksgiving and it was everyone's favorite (even the wheat-eaters')!! The key is good gluten-free bread.

Melt in pan:
-1/3 c butter or marg

Add and saute until tender:
-1 c chopped celery
-1 c sliced mushrooms
-1/4 c diced onion

Remove from heat and add:
-seasonings such as sage or tarragon or basil or rosemary (or whatever you like)
-salt/pepper

In bowl combine:
-6 c cubed gluten-free bread (I use one Against the Grain Gourmet gf baguette)
-1/2 chopped pecans
-1/2 cup dried cranberries
-the sauteed veggies & butter above
-3/4 c chick broth or water

Bake stuffing inside roast turkey or chicken or cook separately at 325F for 25 mins covered with foil, then remove foil and bake another 15 mins until slightly crispy.

Even better the next day!
