Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Blondie Brownies with White Chocolate Sauce


This little dessert is so easy to make. It's a basic cookie recipe made in a pan instead of as cookies, then cut into bars. But served with the sauce makes it indescribable! Served warm, these little beauties will have your eyes rolling back in your head. When I made this, they only lasted a few days before they disappeared. Make it for company! Served in cute little dishes, your guests will think you've been cooking all day!!
