  1. What's funny about you posting this is that I was asking my mom recently for her recipe for blonde brownies, but she said she had to track it down first.

    Now I have a recipe! Thanks!

  2. This is odd, but I believe that is my Grammie's writing and her recipe. She used to write them all on 3x5 or 5x8 cards and post them. Several were lost and I think this might be one. So odd... do you still have it? I would like to get it from you - I can send other examples of her recipes & writing if you wanted to compare...
