Tuesday Recipe Club: White Bean Soup with Rosemary; Gub-Gub Brownies; Baked Cheese Tortellini in Alfredo Sauce

Today? Gub-Gub Brownies! They’re good. It’s my Dear Late Granny’s recipe, but with brown sugar instead of white (gub-gub). Who knows where her recipe is, I swear I’ve posted it, but I look for it and it is not there. Go buy her book if you want it. Also, cheesey tortellini. So frickin’ good. And… soup.

Bon appetit, babies!
