Need to feed a crowd? This Brownies for a Crowd recipe is perfect. A delicious recipe that makes brownies for 30.
When I attended my first blogging conference, one of the first people I met was Laura from Real Mom Kitchen. I love Laura’s blog and have used many of her recipes. This recipe for Large Batch Brownies is a good one.
I know some people prefer a chewy, gooey brownie and others a more cake like brownie. I am right in the middle and these brownies are just that – a little chewy but not too chewy and a little cake like but not too cake like.
In addition to being just the right consistency of brownie this recipe makes a large batch – it totally filled my 12 x 17 jelly roll pan almost to overflowing!

- Flour
- Cocoa
- Sugar, granulated sugar and powdered sugar

The recipe calls for a chocolate frosting but I ran out of time and butter so I just sprinkled them with a little powdered sugar! And they were delicious.

It is so funny that “What’s for Dinner?” is the answer you want! Heres’s why: our youngest daughter left the lid on the deep freeze up last night when she went searching for a popsicle so this morning we got up to thawed out bacon, pizzas, and egg rolls! We will be having a lovely hodge-podge of things like bacon and eggs, frozen pizzas and egg rolls as an appetizer!

We are having tacos for dinner. Not very creative, but my husband has about 10 minutes to eat between work and school.
Suzie says
We will be eating fish tacos and fresh salsa! My favorite!

We’re having chicken tostada bar – make chicken in the crockpot until it’s falling apart tender, then everyone can put their own toppings on. It’s just too hot here to have the oven going!
