Between eggs and strawberries, I seem to be drowning in ingredients these days, so I decided to make more jam (subsequent post coming up) and then with “extra” jam (I ran out of jars), I decided to make these crumble bars. They are definitely my go to recipe. This time, I browned the butter first (definitely a great idea) and then added pistachios as well. Perfect for a 4th of July picnic!
It’s been three weeks since I baked anything. That might be a recent record. Admittedly, two of those three weeks, I was traveling, but nevertheless, it feels like I am going through withdrawals. That said, there is a lot on the agenda for the next few weeks, so I thought I would get into the swing of things with these easy but delicious blondies. Bourbon, pecans and white chocolate: very yummy!
It’s been a while since I made crumble bars. For a long time now, they have been my “go to” thing to make, to eat “out of hand” (meaning cookie or brownie-sized). They are so versitile: pick a fruit flavor, pick a nut or chocolate type and voila! Crumble bars just waiting to be taken to your next pot-luck!
I swear these cookies taste much more interesting then they look. As I was photographing them, I noticed just how …. monochrome is the best word …. they are. They are delicious, with those new-ish sea salt caramel chip from Hershey, but those are beige as well and blend right into the oatmeal cookie. Trust me, they are super yummy!
And now for something completely different: Not Easter, but Pothole Cupcakes! The roads are so rutted up here in the Bangor, Maine area that I was inspired to make these cupcakes as a bit of a joke. And I brought them over to the Bangor Maine Police Department as an excuse to visit the Duck of Justice. Fun times!
