"These are great brownies! My daughter made them and followed the recipe exactly. They were very light and tender. They had a great chocolate flavor and I think that the instant expresso does add a richness to them. I froze 5 baggies of black beans which will be used to make these again and again! Once again, excellent recipe Melissa!"

"Yummy and delicious! Crust was easy and tender and flaky. I usedgranny smith apples and more sugar than the recipe called for because I want my apple tarte sweeter than tart. Pretty as a picture as it came out of the oven!

"My daughter made these for us while I did the pot roast. They were excellent. We'd never cooked potatoes like this before so I, for one, am glad glad Melissa throws a few simpler dishes into the mix.

I truly dislike reading the reviews that criticize Melissa personally---on and on and on...ugh.

"We loved this recipe but next time I will not use quite as much thyme. The meat was tender & tasty. Once again, Melissa has made cooking a treat.
