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. 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 (crock-pot) Pulled Pork

This recipe for slow cooker pulled pork is easy and delicious!

Find a barbecue sauce that you love and use it in this recipe. I love the rib sauce from Swiss Chalet so whenever we eat there, I usually ask for a large rib sauce to go. Just keep it in the fridge. It's great on pork or chicken. Next time you eat out at a chicken and rib place, ask for some sauce to go.


Slow Cooker (crock-pot) Pulled Pork
Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients
  • 2lb pork roast of your choice
  • root beer to cover roast
  • your favourite barbecue sauce
  • soft buns (but I eat mine without the bun)
Directions
  1. In your crock-pot, add the pork and cover it with root beer. I ran out so I topped it up with Coke. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.
  2. Remove pork to a platter and shred it with 2 forks. Remove any fat that you see. Return the pork to the pot or juices and cook for another hour.
  3. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with as much or as little of your favourite bbq sauce as you like.
  4. Toast your buns in the oven with a little butter if desired and serve it with the pork as a sandwich or on the side. Yummy!
