As a busy mom, I’m always looking for convenient and quick recipe ideas. Whether it’s breakfast, dinner, or dessert I like to make dishes that are delicious and only take a few minutes to prepare. That’s why I am excited to be a Cans Get You Cooking Ambassador or “Canbassador.”
Our pantry is always full of canned food and often I find myself with the door open pondering what combination will make a great dinner or a surprise dessert. I’ve found that having our pantry stocked saves time and when I have a variety of canned items on hand, it makes it easier to pull together a quick, flavorful dish or meal.
I was interested to learn that 73% of Americans throw away spoiled fruits and vegetables on average two times a week. I have to admit that this does apply to us. For some reason our refrigerator has something against cucumbers. Every time we buy them they go into the fridge excited to soon be a part of a refreshing and summery dish, and the next time I see them, they’ve spoiled. That’s why I like cooking with cans, for me, there’s less worry of anything going bad.
As a Canbassador I was challenged to make a recipe from a provided list of canned items. While I enjoy making meals and side dishes with items from my “Cantry” I was in the mood for a yummy dessert recently. When I saw NESTLE CARNATION Evaporated Milk on the list, I immediately went to the Very Best Baking site to find a scrumptious brownie recipe.
I hit the jackpot when I read the recipe for the Chocolate Caramel Brownies. Dave offered to run out to our local Giant Eagle to pick up the evaporated milk and other ingredients. I enlisted my helpers in unwrapping the caramels, pouring, and mixing.
Prepping the recipe was easy. I adapted it just a bit to fit our preferences by excluding the nuts, and when it came out of the oven it was warm, gooey, and chocolatey.
It’s a great recipe that I would make again for dessert and for family get togethers. The kids and Dave thought it was a hit as well and we recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic, quick, and flavorful dessert. .
I’m excited about this recipe and the giveaway below!
