As a kid, I loved peanut butter brownies, but my adult taste buds find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated peanut butter chocolate chip brownie recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about one-third from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of the three variations that I attempted.

This simple, nourishing stew of tripe and vegetables is found in innumerable variations throughout Latin America and around the Caribbean. On the islands of Aruba and Curaçao, it is known as sopi mondongo.
