Hello Friends!
Are you as ready to move on from holiday talk and just get back to
our normal routines and daily life as I am?
We've been busy moving carloads of things to our house, unpacking them,
putting things where they go and going back for more the next day.
We are slowly making it look like a home again and the movers
are scheduled to move the big stuff on Saturday.
So for now we are sitting in a sparsely furnished apartment,
with some bare walls, no dining chairs,
and anticipating what to move next so that we can be done
with nothing but the big pieces left for the movers.
In the meantime, I haven't been to the store since before Christmas
and I was really hungry for something sweet,
so I made a batch of these Blonde Brownies
and let me tell you...delicious!
I love desserts that are tasty, but not icky sweet,
and these are perfect.
The recipe calls for sprinkling chocolate chips on top,
but I chose not to. I also used chopped pecans instead of
walnuts, because I like pecans better (and it's what I had available).
This is one of those recipes that comes from the most basic ingredients,
so you can pretty much make them anytime.
They pair great with a cup of coffee in the evening or even for breakfast.
If you make a batch, let me know what you think.
☕
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Until Next Time...
Blessings!
your moving journey sounds like what we did five years ago. When the van came there was very little for them to take
ReplyDeleteKathy, it's definitely better on the budget :)
DeleteThank you for this recipe! I've not made these in ages and I've lost track of my copy of the recipe with all the moves in the past 10 years. I printed this out and hope to bake a pan of them tomorrow afternoon!
ReplyDeleteOh good, Barbara! I had another recipe over the years called "Chewy Bread" and it was very similar.
DeleteP.S. I know from reading your previous blog posts that you will enjoy unpacking and getting your home just the way you like it! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, this is true :)
DeleteYummy!!! Oh, and I wanted to say, because it has been on my mind, it's not that I don't like my job, it just gets taxing and perhaps I do get a bit jealous that my husband is retired.😉--because truthfully, I would love to be home, but everything is so expensive right now. sigh
ReplyDeleteOh that is so exciting that move in day is so close! Your blondies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you guys to get back in your home. When we moved into our home (back about 20 years ago) we moved the week before Christmas. Wow..what a challenge, but we did it and I even put up a Christmas tree. lol These blonde brownie look so good... perfect to go with a good hot cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteSo...is that next Saturday (in six days) or this past one? Was just going to ask how it went?? I'm sure those brownies will keep you motivated and energized as you go. Good plan!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for you to move back into your home. May it be all and more than you expect it to be.
Thanks for sharing that recipe. I just e-mailed it to myself. It looks like something you can make without chocolate, which I don't eat. So a great substitute for the chocolate brownies I used to love and miss.
