Vaishali Shah’s recipe: Brownies

Follow instructions on the box (2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil)

Once batter is mixed properly then add to an 9x9 inch pan
(the size of this pan yields large soft brownies)
Once the batter is poured into the pan take marshmallow fluff
Add about 5 tablespoons into a bowl
Put the bowl in a microwave for about 30 seconds which will allow the fluff to get thinner
Add some water to make fluff even thinner
Take a spoon and drop little by little into the brownie batter
Once all the fluff is added, take a butter knife and mix just a little bit to make white swirls into the batter (do not mix too much or else the fluff will mix in with the batter)
Place in oven at 350 for about 40 mins
Let cool before serving
ENJOY!!! =D

I am really glad we started this group. I've already learned some new things:
1. how to make REAL whip cream
2. what truffle oil is
3. you can't drink alcohol while breast feeding
4. Chole tacos exist
What Amisha said is very true, it's important to have girlfriends (the more the better) to understand life, especially after being married.
See you all January 15th =)

1st Meeting

Friday, December 3rd, 2010


Parul and I (Amisha) were out on the Tuesday of that week when we came across a similar idea. I had been contemplating getting a group of girls together to do some group activities on a monthly base, whether it be just hanging out, cooking, a girl’s night out, or volunteering. I think it's so important to have girlfriends. For me, it was important to identify myself other than a married woman, a sales person, a daughter (in law). I needed to make sure I am all of those very important things and some more. Parul also had a similar idea but a more specific idea. She wanted to start a recipe exchange club. A group of girls that would meet on a monthly base to exchange recipes and much much more.


Anyhoo, we were both so excited that we really didn’t want to delay it another week to kick off this idea. The basic idea would be each girl brings either an appetizer or a dessert. The hostess would provide the drinks and an entrée (later we decided that the hostess should only provide the drinks. There’s more than enough food without us having an entrée).

Parul volunteered to have it at her place. The first hoorah!

Even before we started talking about the recipes we all fell in love with Shayni’s new sweater, or like she calls it – the jumper. Oh those English and their fancy words. She bought it from Express and we instantly decided we all wanted it.
