How to make AWESOME brownies

So, we try to eat healthy at our house. It doesn't always work out, but still. We try. So to celebrate Valentine's Day, and at Alice's suggestion (she's here, visiting) we decided to make BLACK BEAN BROWNIES. I know, ew right?

Well.

You just make a brownie mix, but instead of the oil, you puree some black beans and BAM low-fat brownies.

Well.

I was stirring and stirring and thinking, "Ew. These really smell bad." Like nauseatingly bad. Alice kept reassuring me, "Trust the brownies!" said she. "Don't SMELL them anymore. They'll taste awesome," she assured me.

And I TRIED to trust the brownies and I TRIED to not smell them. But I'm weak. And it didn't work. So, I stuck a finger in the brownie batter and then popped it in my mouth.

Well.

At first taste, it's brownie. Then, suddenly, the undeniable flavor of TACO.

Well.

Ew.

Turns out, the black beans I had so carefully prepared were not ordinary black beans.

They were black beans with jalapenos, tomatoes and onion.

Ew.

They did not taste good.

Amazingly, we had another can of REGULAR, PLAIN black beans.

And those brownies tasted quite good, thankyouverymuch.

But taco brownies? not so much.
