Chocolate Chip Blondies     For my last post for my blog project in Computer Science I will be sharing a recipe for how to make chocolate chip blondies. I have had these blondies many times while eating at my schools dining hall and they are very good. This recipe is easy to make and does not take very much time to complete. Ingredients You Will Need 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 2 large eggs, (lightly beaten) 1/2 cup of butter (melted) 1 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar How to Make the Blondies Start by preheating the oven to 350-degrees. Take a large bowl and mix together the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs until they are blended. Next you should combine the baking powder, salt and flour. Add the ingredients you mixed together most recently into the bowl with the first mixture with the brown sugar. After combining both of the mixtures together into the same bowl,
  Apple Crisp      Welcome back! Most of my last posts have been about how to make many different dinner style foods and side dishes. Today I will be changing a bit. I am making this post to share with you on how to make apple crisp. Apple crisp is a easy recipe to make in a short amount of time and in the end it is delicious!     This recipe will consist of two different components to make. One is the cinnamon oat topping and the other is the apple filling. I will list all of the ingredients for both below separately and then go from there to explain them both. Cinnamon Oat Topping Ingredients 1/2 cup of cold butter cut into cubes 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 3/4 cups of packed brown sugar 1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats 1/2 cup of all purpose flour Apple Filling a pinch of salt 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 2 teaspoons of lemon juice 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour 2 tablespoons of butter (melted) 1/4 cup of packed brown s

  Buffalo Chicken Dip Welcome back! Today I will be teaching you how to make a recipe that I love to make. It is simple and takes minimum effort to complete. This is one recipe on my blog that I have actually made before and it is delicious.  Ingredients You Will Need: 2 8 oz. squares of cream cheese 1 cup of ranch dressing 3/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce (I usually add more than the 3/4 cup, I like a bit of a kick) 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 2 10 oz. cans of chicken breast tortilla chips for dipping in the dip 1 crock pot How to Make the Dip: Start by turning the crock pot on high to get it nice and warm. Add the cream cheese and allow it to soften up so it is easier to stir in with the rest of the ingredients. Once the cream cheese has started to soften up, add your ranch and hot sauce. I add these two ingredients next because once they start to get warm it helps with melting the cheese.  Now that the cream cheese has nearly melted and you have added your ranch and hot s
