Pale/Blonde Ale Recipe for beginner

So I just bottled my first porter from a hopped LME kit. I'd like to move on to a DME pale or blonde ale 5 gal. recipe next and was wondering if anyone had any good ideas. Here is what the local brewshop has in terms of light DME (which isn't much), yeast and hops:

Pilsen light and Golden light DME (1 lb bags)

Liquid: Califonia ale, irish ale and german ale yeat
Dry: Windsor and Nottingham

Fuggle, Cascade, Willamette, Hallertauer, Kent Goldings and Kluster (1oz pellet and leaf)

I'd like to keep it simple since this is only my second brew. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Look for "Centennial Blonde" in the recipe archive. There is an extract version, I believe.

Also consider EdWort's Haus Pale Ale for a more heavily hopped pale ale that's very nice.

thanks for the post reply but the link is for an all-grain recipe. I am far from that stage of brewing.

woop, just saw the all extract version on that page. thanks for that!

Any suggestions for a Pale Ale with these ingredients available? I couldn't find an extract version of EdWort's Haus Pale Ale.

Can you get specialty grains, like crystal malt?

yes. 10L 20L 60L briess crystle malt and 2 row pale but I have no way to mash it. the HBS does not do it for you.

You could try my Firstblond recipe in my dropdown menu. Just sub out the perle hops for cascades, there is also another recipe in that post that would work fine also. It does include steeping some crystal 20, but thats pretty easy.
