Now, since it is Nathan's birthday, I thought I would post one of Nathan's favorites. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES butterscotch blondies. I made these a few weeks ago and surprised him with them and a birthday package. He didn't think I was sending anything to Iraq since we had decided to wait to celebrate until he got home. But, I couldn't not send him anything. So, off went a package with a present and some goodies!
I love you, Nathan, and hope your birthday is as wonderful as it can be in Iraq! See you so soon!!!
Butterscotch Blondies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 TBSP vanilla
2 eggs
11 oz butterscotch morsels
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs. Gradually add dry ingredients. Mix in 1 cup of morsels.
Spread into 9x13 pan and sprinkle with remaining morsels. Bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!! We can't wait to see you!!! Hope you have a great day!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Nathan! You have an awesome wife! It is amazing to see how much your love your husband Cristine. It actually puts tears in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteThe blondies look soo good. I made some the other day and they were, um, really really bad. =) Happy b-day to your husband!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NATHAN, and many many more years to come.
ReplyDeleteBlondies sound really good, and look delicious.
Cheers,
Elra
looks good- happy birthday to your husband!
ReplyDeleteThese look mighty tasty! I hope your hubby has happy a birthday as possible.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Nathan! And I'm so happy he gets to come home for R&R soon! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Nathan! And I can't believe he is coming home in 8 days - hooray for you both!
ReplyDeleteAnd you've got so much good stuff on your blog, I don't know where to begin. I've made Mexican Wedding Cakes for years but never thought to use chocolate chips instead of pecans. Duh! And snowballs is an appropriate name for them - I like that.
Everything looks so good - and butterscotch blondies are such a nice idea. But the orange butter cookies are going to be next on my list, which seems to be growing by the minute -
What a lucky lad! Happy Birthday Nathan! :)
ReplyDeleteCristine, my hubs requested a layered banana cake for his birthday next month. He is addicted to it. I wish I can send you some to try. xoxo
I'm so glad you posted these. I'm looking for new recipes to send in my next package to my adopted soldier in Iraq and this looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI know it's getting close to the time Nathan gets home, I'm so excited for you!! Does Nathan read your blog??
ReplyDeleteThank you my love for the Blondies they where gone in one sitting. I will definetly have to run an extra 4 miles tomorrow I couldn't help but washing them down with full cream milk. Oh I pray my metabolism doesn't slow down now. I love you and can't wait to hear your voice.
ReplyDeleteWe love blondies TOO! I can't wait to print this recipe out and give it a try! I have some butterscotch ganache that I bet would taste wonderful poured over the blondies.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how it goes!
Happy Birthday to your honey!
