Raspberry Blondies

View this post on Instagram

My blog is officially 10 years old ???? and I celebrated by reviving an old blondie recipe (circa 2011) that got buried in 10 years of content. I've made this recipe with dark chocolate chips too, but the combination of white chocolate and raspberries won in the end. ⁠ ⁠ Here's to 10 more years! If you want to bake these blondies, get the recipe by clicking the link in my profile @kitchenhealssoul #kitchenhealssoul⁠ ⁠ Shoutout to @cremeriedallarose for not only keeping my freezer filled with their homemade ice cream, but also for pretty locally made ceramics too ????

We love mixing up this easy go-to dessert recipe with all types of berries and both dark and white chocolate chips. Bake longer for chewier, firmer blondies, or less for a softer, more gooey blondie.

if you looked up 'summer enchiladas' in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure this black bean, corn & zucchini version would be listed under the definition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ in the words of one reviewer: "These were delicious! I substituted with pre-made tomatillo salsa (that I doctored up with more of the fresh ingredients listed + the yogurt to keep it more creamy) since I couldn’t find the canned ones around where I live, but it turned out great. Came together so quickly and got to use up some of the zucchini that is growing like crazy in our garden. Thanks for sharing this recipe!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ requiring just 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes in the oven, they're zippy, bright and perfect for summer!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ grab the full recipe on @caitsplate (via the link in my profile) ????????https://caitsplate.com/black-bean-corn-zucchini-enchiladas/⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #caitsplatefood
