Welcome

Welcome to Kage's Kitchen. I'm Kage, and I simply love to cook. It all started almost a year and a half ago when I married my best friend, Thomas. I moved out of my parents house, where I did little in the kitchen, and into a place of my own, that is, with a man to feed. Leading up to the wedding I had heard stories of wives only knowing how to cook one dish, therefore feeding their husbands lemon chicken for their first 3 months together, until he decided he'd make dinner for a change. I surely did not want to do that to my husband, so we probably tried something new about 4-5 times a week for the first month or so. And I have loved being in the kitchen, creating personal masterpieces, ever since. 

There is only one problem. I enjoy being in the kitchen so much, that I want to share every new find, or new idea, with all my friends and family. To do so I have often shared some of my left-over lunches with my co-workers, who then invite themselves over for dinner. I have also entertained friends and family in order to share some of my delicious finds, which usually results in little, if any, left-overs for lunches the following day. After I discovered how much I truly enjoy cooking, my husband suggested I start a blog. Now here I am. 

As my first recipe, a personal favourite, Brownie Surprise. 

            I found this on pintrest, and simply made them according to the picture.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of chocolate chip cookie mix (a package of the break-apart cookies would work too)
• 1 package of 12-pack Peanut Butter Reese cups 
• 1 box brownie mix   

1. Preheat your oven to 350°
2. Prepare cookie as directed on package
3. Prepare brownie batter as directed on package
4. Line muffin pans if desired
5. Press a 1inch ball of cookie dough in the bottom of each pan
6. Place an unwrapped Reese cup on top of the cookie dough
7. Scoop a dollop of brownie batter on top the Reese cup 
8. Bake in preheated oven for 20 min. 
9. Cool on a wire rack

 Unfortunately, we usually don't have the patience to allow them to cool completely so they are still fairly gooey, but a delicious combination of classic desserts nonetheless. I made these for a family get together once, and we have called them "Yummy Yum Yums" ever since.  


Please attempt, tweak, and enjoy my favourite treat as my first official blog entry.
