Blondies

M&M Chocolate Chip Blondies

ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup M&M's (optional)

directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 8X8 pan with cooking spray. I used a glass Pyrex dish.

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl-flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.

4. Add in the egg and stir. Next, stir in the vanilla. Stir until smooth.

5. Add the flour mixture and stir until the ingredients are combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M's.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the blondies for 23-25 minutes, until the blondies are set. A toothpick will come out clean when they are done. Let the blondies cool on a rack. When cool, cut and serve. (they are chewy when cooled, gooey when hot. I prefer chewy, but they taste good either way!)

**I usually make these without the M&M's just because I rarely buy them. You can omit them and keep everything else the same, or I like to increase the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup rather than 1/3 cup.

Pasta Carbonara

"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say. You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store. While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something with that tortellini! I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will appear to not be cooked. We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe. The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still. I promise it is delicious. But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance. Now you ma...

Spinach Waffles

Spinach in waffles? Gross, right? Only for people trying to lose weight, right? WRONG. Right? Okay, I see how thoroughly confused you are now. And I know what you're thinking: "wait, she can see me?? Creep!" Oh, you weren't thinking that? Weird, you should be--that IS creepy. But I digress...we were speaking of spinach in a standard, non-spinachy food. The thing is, it's SOOOO good you guys! I even made regular waffles side by side to compare, and my kids (my KIDS!) said the spinach ones were better (cue jaw drop, gasp, and fake fainting spell). Full disclosure, one (out of 6) of the kids said they were gross, but she refused to actually taste any, so we just won't pay any attention to her. She's kind of in the middle anyway, so she's used to it.... (cue awkward, judging silence from the reader). Even if you're kids refuse to taste them, though, you have to be a grown-up and at least try them. Try them, you will se...
