50 Recipes 2011, #19-21: Nutella blondies; lima beans in serrano chile sauce; double chocolate loaf

Catching up on the 50 Recipes project:

1) Nutella swirl blondies, found via @Tasteologie and made because I needed to throw together a quick dessert that didn't call for more than the 1/3 cup of butter I had in the house. The end result is basically a soft shortbread with Nutella swirled into it, and it's even better cold the next day.

2) Lima beans in serrano chile sauce, from The Vegan Gourmet. I love lima beans, but for some reason, I never get around to cooking them. Still, I wanted a vegan meal one night, and this one is also pretty fast to throw together: you whirl up a salsa in the food processor and cook the limas in it. Served over Israeli couscous, and also better the next day.

3) In the oven right now: double chocolate loaf, again found via @Tasteologie. What can I say? They're really good at pushing me dessert recipes, and we were out of baked goods, which makes columbina sad. Assuming the final product tastes as good as the batter, this recipe should be another keeper.
