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.

Marinated Feta with Olives and Sun-dried Tomatoes

Marinated Feta with Olives & Sun-dried Tomato Recipe

One of my favourite breakfasts is marinated cheese with bread. I like bocconcini too, but feta is my first choice. I used to stop off in the morning and pick up a fresh bun or croissant, and some marinated cheese from Real Canadian Superstore (a grocery chain we have here). They have a small antipasto bar (near the bakery) with olives, marinated cheeses and a few other things. Their bocconcini is also marinated and is mixed with roasted red peppers. Their versions are swimming in oil but are SO delicious. I would eat it every day if I could.
