Chocolate Cherry Blondies

We love fresh cherries.   The guys will eat them by the handfuls, after I pit them, of course.   But both claim not to like cooked cherries in anything.    Nasty hot here today, so I went looking for a recipe that was easy to put together, and looked worth running the oven for.    These blondies from Sassy Southern Mommy had great potential.

A few minor changes-  I was short on the chocolate chips, so I upped the amount of cherries.   My cherries were huge, so I halved them when I pitted them, then cut each half again before putting them in the measuring cup.   I ended up using about 1 1/4c of quartered cherries.    The directions mention vanilla, but doesn't give a quantity, I used 1 teaspoon.   I also added a pinch of kosher salt with my flour.


The guys have gone to the movies, and I'm sitting here alone in the house with the blondies, and I'm finding myself hoping that they really don't like them so that I can have them all to myself.   Chocolate and cherry are one of my favorite flavor combinations.  Thanks so much to Jessica for her wonderful recipe!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
