Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times! Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy! Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt.

This is how my mom taught me to boil corn.

Even when it's not in season, you can still make your corn taste sweet. The way I eat it takes a bit longer but you'll never see me picking corn out of my teeth when I'm done (see pics at the bottom of the recipe).

How to Boil and Eat Corn on the Cob

Makes 5 Servings

Ingredients

5 cobs of corn
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
butter and salt (optional)
water

Directions

Remove the husk and silk from the corn and place in a large pot.
Fill the pot 1" from the top with cold water. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt.
On high heat, bring the pot to a boil. Reduce to medium high and cook for about 20 minutes or until corn is tender.
Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Spread on butter and sprinkle with salt if you like. I usually just eat mine plain.

You can just bite into the corn like my husband and kids do, or you can eat it like I do. Use your top front teeth to pull out a row of corn. Continue pulling the corn out with your top teeth in rows until you've eaten it all. The result is not having that horrible feeling of having corn stuck between your teeth.
