I like to eat. I like to eat at Applebees. If you have ever eaten at Applebees, you already know that there is lots of good food to eat. Gastronomical delights.

Nothing that I am aware of at Applebees is low fat. If it is, it's designated on the low carb menu, but the food tastes so good, doesn't it make you wonder if just a few fat molecules slipped their way in?

One of my favorite Applebee recipes is for their blondie brownie. I can't disclose where I got the recipe from, so you will just have to take me at my word that it is the original thing.

All you have to do is bake it and see. If it doesn't live up to the same standards as the one you will eat the next time you are at Applebees, then maybe it isn't the receipt that's the problem????

So here goes.

Watch for more famous restaurant receipes to come in my future hubs. If there is one you would like to have just send me a comment and I will do my best to find it for you if I can.

If I can't find it, I will try to substitute a similar one. Some secrets are just too good to be discovered and some are closely guarded, but we all know that there must be a generic out there somewhere that would be a good substitute.
