Author's In Bloom Giveaway!

Welcome to the fifth annual Author’s In Bloom Giveaway.  The grand prize will be an ereader of your choice.  There are also prizes for runners up.  Then there are prizes at Writer’s Corner.  Don’t forget to visit all of the sites to get your entries in.    I also have prizes here. 

First I will share my recipe and then stay tuned for the prizes.  Please enter at the rafflecopter below. 

My recipe is Blondies.  What are blondies?  Some  restaurants serve it on their dessert menu.  They essentially are chocolate chip cookies in brownie form.  

 1cup butter

 3/4 cup sugar ( or splenda if you want to decrease calories)

 3/4 cup brown sugar

 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 2 eggs

 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour ( I recommend rice flour or cup for cup if you are gluten free.)

 1 teaspoon baking soda 

 1/2 teaspoon salt

 2 cups Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

 Heat oven to 375.    In large mixer bowl  cream butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Add eggs; beat well.  Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.  Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.  Spread batter in greased jelly-roll pan, I usually use a 13x9 inch pan.   Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.  This can vary if you substitute certain ingredients.   Cool completely.  Cut into bars.

 Now here are the prizes from Writer's Corner:

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa from their  author site.   I am so thankful for their support. I also had an opportunity to feature Liz and Lisa’s novel Your Perfect Life .   I live in the Atlanta area and get many opportunities to meet some great authors.   Some t
