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.

Roasted Red Pepper Dip

For this recipe, I like to use the Monterey Jack with bits of Jalapeno in it for extra zip.

This dip is always a hit at parties, but sometimes I make it for myself and eat the whole thing when nobody's watching.

If you have any leftover, store it in the fridge. Once it's gets cold it makes a great spread for toast or bagels.
