I'm not a recipe creator by any means.
But I just really like food.
(Is there such a thing as simply a food lover's blog?
Nothing ingenious, just adoration?)
Anyways, I also suffer from a major sweet tooth.
So while I might have come across as all nice and healthy with my farro shout out last time,
it's not exactly an authentic representation of all my culinary cravings.
and even as this idea resonate so deeply with me
and my current dietary dilemmas,
and even as I attempt to start figuring and mapping out
how I'll remove sugar from my daily diet,
for my even more stronger sweet-toothed father for father's day.
As I stood over the stove top, I came to the conclusion
that the smell of brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla,
is absolutely pure heaven.
I want to bottle it up
and surround myself with this scent 24/7.
And of course, I couldn't help
but cut off a little corner piece,
for sampling sake,
and it just melted in my mouth.
The raspberry seeds added an ever so subtle texture
to the smooth, creamy blondie,
and as I wrapped up the individual pieces
I knew, somewhat discouragedly,
but with really no effort to fight it,
that blondies and their various accoutrements will be a new
repeating recipe in my slowly but surely growing repertoire.
So thank you Joy the Baker for refusing to let me go completely sugar free.
