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

Lentil & Kale Stew (Vegan)

I kept the flavours in this stew simple by using just salt, pepper and a pinch of rosemary.


Lentil & Kale Stew
Makes 2 Servings

Ingredients
  • 1 leek, rinsed and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • ½ cup dry lentils (any colour)
  • ½ teaspoon pink salt
  • black pepper
  • pinch of dried rosemary
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (more as needed)
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 small potato diced
  • ¼ cup frozen green peas
  • 1 - 2 cups chopped kale
Directions
  1. Saute the leek in avocado oil for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the lentils, salt, pepper and rosemary.
  3. Stir in the broth and allow to simmer until the lentils are almost done.
  4. Stir in the carrot and potatoes and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Stir in the peas and kale and cook until the kale is wilted and the peas are heated through. There shouldn't be much liquid at this point, it should be like a stew. If your stew ever gets too dry, you can always add a splash more broth as needed.
