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.

Grilled Portobello and Vegetable Open-Faced Sandwich

Who said the grill is only for meat? This sandwich was really good and there was no meat involved here.

Portobello or portabella?

Cremini or crimini?

So confusing. I've always called the big ones portobello so I'm sticking with that =).

As it turns out, cremini mushrooms are just baby portobellos.

  1. Heat the grill to high while you're getting your veggies ready.
