Happy Mother's Day! "Funny Brownies" NOT and some Green Trivia

Happy Mother's Day to mothers everywhere! Lots of good green trivia and healthy living ideas in this month's "Reader's Digest!" Also, here are some recipes I wasn't able to post earlier this week: Vegetable broth with tricolored tortellini 1 pckg. tri colored tortellini from the fresh pasta section, or dried pasta you can cook longer 1 8 oz package mushrooms, fresh. 1/2 onion, chopped, any kind 1 stalk fresh celery, chopped 2 cubes chicken bouillon Salt to taste Boil all ingredients together until the mushrooms are cooked. You could start boiling the vegetables and add the pasta and a good drop of olive oil after a couple of minutes. Serves three, very healthy and flavorful vegetable broth. You can add other vegetables, and meet, if so desired. "Funny Brownies" with fresh Chocolate Mint 1 fresh chocolate mint plant 1 package brownie mix, any kind, make as directed with three eggs to make cake like 1/2 dried cranberries Russell Stover chocolate truffle Easter eggs, chopped, or other chocolate truffle candies chopped Mix brownies, and add all other ingredients, follow directions, bake and cool as directed. I also like to make the brownies from scratch using Dianne Mott Davidson's "Scout's Brownies" recipe from "Dying for Chocolate."
