Blondies - One of my favorite desserts

Back when I was growing up I never had box brownies. Isn't it funny how kids are when they get to a certain age. At some point I decided that I liked box brownies better than homemade but, let me tell you, in my "old" age (ha!) I have come to my senses and I love anything homemade 10 times better than store bought. Now, blondies never came in a box and I have ALWAYS loved blondies. This is the recipe my mom always used and my family loves them too.

Blondies

Ingredients
1 cup butter (2 sticks at room temp or softened slightly)
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 pkg chocolate chips

Grease a 9x13 pan and Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cream the sugar and butter together with a mixer. While doing that, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add vanilla to your sugar mixture. Add your 4 eggs to the sugar mixture but only let it mix long enough to break the eggs up and mix them with the sugar mixture a little (don't let the mixture beat your eggs). Add the dry ingredients and mix just until everything is moist. Mix in chocolate chips. Put all of this into your pan and bake for 30 minutes or until slightly browned all over. I always set my timer for 30 minutes and usually end up going another 5 minutes to get the right amount of browning. This will leave them nice and moist and chewy. Enjoy!

Still Here and Still Cookin'

Yep, I'm still here and still cookin'! I haven't posted in a while. Shortly after my last post we found out that we are expecting baby boy #3 and we put our house on the market. Since then life has been pretty crazy! I hope to get some more recipes posted soon. One great thing about this blog for me is that I have been able to refer to it even while at the grocery store to figure out what I need for a specific dish. That has been very helpful lately!

So, stay tuned...I will share more recipes soon.
