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. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

This recipe for parmesan crusted pork chops is tasty but I think the texture would have been better if they were lightly fried in olive oil.

You could use this coating on chicken cutlets as well.


Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops
Original recipe from fatsecret
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 tsp leaves dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp leaves dried oregano
  • 1 dash black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp leaves thyme
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 pork chops (top loin, lean, boneless)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl whisk together mustard, oil, and spices.
  4. Season the 4 pork chops with pepper, then brush both sides of the chops with the mustard mixture.
  5. Press the grated parmesan cheese into both sides of the chops. (I am pretty liberal with the cheese. I like a thick coating but I'm sure a thin one will work too.)
  6. Place the chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. The coating should be browned and slightly crispy and the pork should be cooked all the way through.
