Brownie Bottom Cheesecake

I doubled this recipe and made it into more of a brownie-style recipe than a cheesecake, and it got rave reviews! I make a traditional fudge sauce to go over it (composed of marshmellows, evaporated milk, sugar, and milk chocolate chips). It's a rather plan looking dessert, so you may want to add some type of garnish, but the taste is so rich and luxurious that you don't want to pass this one up!

Chicken Gorky

I tried this recipe simply because I was searching for any chicken recipe, and the name just looked wonderful! It was served to two hungry teenage boys, and was an instant success - 4 portions almost instantly devoured - and the vegetarian of the house even tried the sauce! No doubt not the most slimming thing around, but brilliant winter food, and let's face it, teenage boys don't slim :) Absolutely brilliant, and definitely to be repeated.
