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

Greek Marinated Chicken Breasts

Ever since I made Lime and Chile Chicken with Mango and Red Bell Pepper Salsa from Kalyn's Kitchen, I decided that I'd cut slits in my chicken from now on, it really allows the marinade to get into the chicken.

This time I came up with a Greek marinade. We put it on the barbecue and it was SO good! Another delicious marinated chicken recipe for my collection (and yours)!

Mmm doesn't it look good?

Here it is marinating in the bag.

Greek Marinated Chicken Breasts
Makes 5 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons low fat plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning blend (I used Club House)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Greek oregano
  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions
  1. Mix all the marinade ingredients and place them in a large Ziploc bag. Put the chicken in the bag and smush it around coating it with the marinade. It won't seem like enough marinade but it really is. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  2. You can grill it, bake it, fry it ... it's up to you.
