Sally's Brownies
This recipe is in honor of my great aunt Sally. I don't
​
​
remember very much about her, but I do know she loved
chocolate. And she cooked the only bear meat I have ever
eaten (once). Like most women in my past, she cooked what
was hunted, raised, or sometimes given. Very little ever went to
waste.

• It's important to preheat the oven for Sally's Brownies.
​
​
• I added ½ cup chocolate chips (optional) to this recipe.
(Because I like chocolate!)
​
​
• Nuts are optional of course.
