Fancy Blondies with White Chocolate Chips

June 1, 2020      Sarah Van Wagenen

blonde with ice cream

My whole life I have loved blondies. I don’t know if it’s the buttery taste or the brown sugar goodness, probably that exact combination, but they’re incredible! We just got a set of ramekins from Amazon, that were begging to be used, and making blondies in them, topped with ice cream, seemed like the best idea.

Every week we like to have a night dedicated to time together as a family. We usually have a lesson, an activity, and a dessert. Dolly was in charge of the dessert and after about 30 minutes of pouring through different desserts she decided she wanted to help make blondies for the treat. We looked up different recipes and put together the best combination. Then we decided to make it fancy, because Dolly is all about that, and make them in ramekins served with ice cream.

After enjoying this delicious dessert together, we decided we would improve upon it and make it again for our guests (my parents) who came to visit for Memorial Day weekend. We made it again, and it was even better! So here is the recipe!

Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Servings: 10 people
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 c melted butter
  • 2 1/2 c packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 c white chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Ramekins

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 10 ramekins, then set aside.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla into the dry ingredients.
  4. Once combined, gently mix in the chocolate chips.
  5. Evenly divide the mixture between the 10 ramekins.
  6. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Once the blondies have cooled for a few minutes (maybe 5-10 minutes), top with ice cream and serve.

Notes

If the blondies aren’t quite warm enough when serving, microwave individually for about 15 seconds, especially if you want the ice cream to melt a little bit on top.

These were such a delicious dessert! Also, making them in ramekins was so simple, but made them seem a little fancier. It made serving them a breeze too! Our first time using ramekins was a success! This was such a good way to make a yummy dessert into something a little more special. If you try it out you’ll have to let me know if it was a hit!

Sincerely,

Sarah

90’s Summer Bucket List Stop 2 “America’s Pa 90’s Summer Bucket List Stop 2 “America’s Pastime”, there’s nothing like a local baseball game. Going to a Trash Pandas baseball game with the kids on a summer night is forever a favorite for us! 

The atmosphere, the food, cheering the players on, ALL the freebies (the kids came home loaded down), time with friends, getting on the Jumbotron (multiple times), players signing stuff afterwards. The best way to spend a summer evening! Such a fun night we’ll always remember. 

Go Trash Pandas! @trashpandasbaseball @trashpandafans

90’s Summer Bucket List Part 1 📍Hartselle Aq 90’s Summer Bucket List Part 1

📍Hartselle Aquatic Center, Alabama

We’re down to the last few weeks of summer so I’m starting a series to share some of our favorite bucket list items we checked off this year! 

Everyone’s been talking about a 90’s summer and maybe we’ve just always done summer different, but less screens and more memories is what it’s all about!

First stop, The Hartselle Aquatic Center, just 20 minutes from Madison, Alabama, and my top pick for fun places to take the kids this summer. Here’s why. 

- Affordable, $15 for 12 and older, $10 for 4-11, 3 and under free 
- Small enough to keep an eye on everyone
- Big enough to keep everyone entertained for 4-6 hours (more if I let them) 
- Easy to see where everyone is and what they’re doing, but the big kids also love the independence 
- Multiple slides
- Lazy river
- High diving board
- Low diving board
- Shallow, zero entry and water features 

Pro tip: I learned this from a fellow mom, get there as soon as it opens to get a good spot with umbrellas and a good view of the whole facility. We set up back by the bathrooms, which was great! The tables and umbrellas in the middle of the pools fills up fastest, so obviously a great spot if you’re there early enough to get it. #90ssummer #summerbucketlist #alabamawithkids #northalabama #madisonal
A Christmas tradition that never gets old ✨ Tak A Christmas tradition that never gets old ✨

Taking our kids to see the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall this Christmas felt extra special as we celebrated their 100th anniversary 🎄👯‍♀️. The precision, the costumes, the music—every detail was so creative, magical, and completely engaging for kids and adults alike.

My favorite part of the show was the full Nativity dramatization; so beautifully done! If you’re looking for a timeless Christmas experience in NYC, this is it.

✨ Here’s to 100 years of high kicks, holiday wonder, and unforgettable moments.

If there’s one place that truly feels like Christmas in NYC, it’s Fifth Avenue. Glittering lights, iconic windows, and pure holiday magic at every turn. 

🎄 Don’t miss these must-see stops:
📍 Saks Fifth Avenue – The legendary holiday light show + enchanting windows (every 10 minutes after dark!)
📍 Rockefeller Center Tree – Just across the street and absolutely iconic 🌟
📍 Cartier – Wrapped like a giant present for the ultimate holiday photo op 🎁

We just finished training for a half-marathon and We just finished training for a half-marathon and had our race on Saturday. Kurt was Spider-Man and I was Spider-Man’s biggest fan girl. I had high hopes for running much faster than I did, but getting really sick right before running 13.1 miles made it challenging. I was able to go from an 11:30 minute mile for my first run post-baby to about an 8:50 mile for 13.1 miles so at least I’ve improved. Here are 3 tips for getting half-marathon ready:
1. Sign up for a race (it doesn’t have to be a half, even a 5k is awesome for getting something on the calendar that you’re training for)
2. Find a running partner (obviously, Kurt is my favorite running partner and it has been awesome to train for this race together and go on long runs for our date nights)
3. Start a 12-16 week race plan (we followed a program called Run Less, Run Faster, running 3 days a week with a speed workout, an interval run, and a long run; however, all signs point to more mileage, more often and not as fast being the better route to go for training; sometimes you just do what you can as parents of 5 littles). 
I try to convince everyone to be a runner. It’s just so good for your body, physically, as well as emotionally and mentally. I’m interested to know how many of you are runners or want to run a race. I’ll try to share more of my training and lessons learned.
