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.

Potato Salad

I don't know about you, but I could eat potatoes every day!


Potato Salad
Makes 6-8 servings 

Ingredients
  • 6 large yellow potatoes, peeled, cubed and boiled or steamed
  • 1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/3 cup mayo of choice (I used avocado - you can also use vegan or regular)
  • 1  tablespoon grainy mustard (not spicy)
  • 1/4 cup minced pickles (I use Iranian ones)
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill (use more if fresh)
Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients except potatoes and peas. 
  2. Stir dressing into the potatoes and peas. Add a little more mayo if you need to.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 
  4. You can make this recipe with either warm or room temp potatoes. If you make it with warm potatoes they will mash a little and you'll have a different texture. You may also need to increase the mayo as the warm potatoes will absorb the dressing a lot more.
