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.

Marinated Feta 2

Marinated feta is one of my favourite things ever!

The real Greek feta is made with sheep’s milk. I don’t like the flavour of sheep or goat milk (or cheese) so I always choose one that’s made from cows milk. Apparently a cow’s milk feta really shouldn’t be called feta, but we won't go there. Choose whichever feta you like the taste of.

I was Googling marinated feta recipes yesterday and they’re all pretty much the same. You take cubes of feta, herbs and spices and drown it all with a nice olive oil. I didn't have any Kalamata olives so I used green ones.


Marinated Feta 2
Makes 1 serving

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup cubed feta
  • 5 olives, sliced
  • 1/8 cup thinly sliced cubanelle pepper, (or other small sweet pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Greek oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • salt
  • pepper
  • pinch of hot pepper flakes
Directions
  1. Combine all the ingredients and let them sit in the fridge overnight or longer. Serve with bread. I used rye today but pita is a good choice too. Flat breads that get crispy in the toaster are my favourite. 
I just started a cheese board on Pinterest because I LOVE CHEESE.
