After a friend almost maliciously told me yesterday about some decadent, blueberry stuffed pastries that he was creating from scratch, my stomach seemed to go green with envy. I've been craving something sweet for the past few days, but have been satisfying my sugary craving with fruits; grapefruits, apples, oranges, papayas and mangos. I've even made a few shakes along the way. But after I was tempted with the thought of warm, homemade, blueberry pastries, I was hit with a wave of longing.
After dinner tonight, I came downstairs from reading and with the thought of fresh, tart, blueberries in mind, I officially decided that I needed some sort of dessert...If only I hadn't lost my cookbook that contained endless possibilities. I didn't give up though, instead I grabbed my MacBook and resorted to the old adage; when in doubt, use the internet!
During my adventures across the world wide web, I came across several ideas, but eventually discovered a simple recipe that was easy on my brain and forgiving on our pantry. I decided to try my baker's thumb at something foreign to me and bake a batch of blondies. For your enjoyment, I have provided you with the recipe for ooey gooey, melt in your mouth, chocolate chip blondies. This is only the second recipe I've posted so far, so if you dare to take on this challenge, let me know how it goes!

- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 baking powder
