once again, my apologies for being a slacker. it's good thing we have an extra day this year because february was very busy! fanboy celebrated a (kinda big) birthday, i accepted a job offer (after almost two years of job hunting in DC!), and two babies were welcomed into our families! after all that excitement, we're looking forward to more low key march.

cheeky recipe: birthday blondies
fanboy's birthday is coming up and we're celebrating tonight. we did a little quality control at breakfast and these are sooo good!
peanut butter m&m blondies (adapted from mel's sweet life)
preheat oven to 350 degrees. line a 9×13 pan with tin foil; coat lightly with cooking spray.
in a medium pot, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth. remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. allow to cool for 10 minutes.
in a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
after the peanut butter mixture has cooled slightly (it should still be warm but not hot – you don’t want it to cook the eggs!) add the vanilla; stir until combined. add the eggs one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated.
pour the peanut butter mixture into the flour mixture. stir until ingredients are fully incorporated; fold in one cup of m&m's and the chocolate chips.
pour batter into prepared pan; smooth it out with a spatula (or your hands) until evenly distributed. top with remaining 1/2 cup of m&m's and lightly press them into the batter.
bake for 25 minutes or until edges are just golden brown.
allow blondies to cool for at least 45 minutes.
