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.

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. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Slow Cooker (crockpot) Mexican Pulled Pork Tortillas

This slow cooker Mexican pulled pork recipe is easy meal to throw together. I had 3 big pork chops that I needed to use up so I thought I'd put them in the slow cooker and let her do the work today. My pork chops were frozen so you can just grab them from the freezer and get things going.

Tips:
  • Barbecue sauce can be sweet, so if you want to cut the sweetness, serve this with some sour cream. But I like it just the way it is!
