Wow, my daughters impress me so much. Those desserts that Sarah made over the weekend look fabulous. Good job Sarah! Christy is on her way back from China. She went with a class to study Chinese businesses, and this class will complete her MBA. She graduated a few weeks ago from Lipscomb College, then left for China. Sarah and Christy have so much energy and seem to just "Get it Done". lol I guess that I was like that when I was younger too. I never worked full time and did all that they do though, so needless to say I'm extremely proud of them.
I remember as a young wife and mother experimenting with new recipes and learning cooking techniques and talents. It was fun, but now I've slowed down and am letting them show me a thing or two - and they are!! I don't cook as much anymore - it's not that fun cooking for one. My main cooking is when my girls come home and of course for the blog. I still enjoy planning and cooking for them.
I'm writing this and haven't had supper and just wishing that I had one of these Blonde Brownies right now. I remember making these when I was a teenager (that's how old this recipe is) and absolutely loved them. This is a quick and easy recipe and satisfies any chocolate craving. These brownies are chewy with melted chocolate chips and the crunch of pecans on top. They taste like a chocolate chip cookie in brownie form. Did I say I love these? lol
Blonde Brownies
2 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1 t salt
2/3 cup melted shortening
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar

I was in China when you wrote this and just now getting a chance to read it. I appreciate the kind words and we are always proud of you too. You set the bar high for being an outstanding woman and Sarah and I will be lucky if we can do it as wonderfully and as gracefully as you do.
I love bar cookies and yours look terrific!!!
