Something Saturdays (7/29/17)

Hello hello, another work-less week passed for me. The baby is getting bigger, though, and I've been feeling it move more and more-Michael was even able to feel it move once earlier this week.

Last weekend we had a pool party at my Grandma's, which is always fun. Monday I visited my cousin and her baby (the sweetest, happiest little girl, I swear!) Tuesday I didn't do much but I did visit a bit with my little sister-in-law when I went to pick up a pie from Michael's mom's house. Wednesday I spent the day with my friend Jenna in Hudson, walking around and shopping. We also had a DELISH lunch/dinner at Peachtree Southern Kitchen. I had fried chicken and biscuits with gravy, she had chicken and waffles, and then we shared beignets for dessert.

I've also been getting my hands on baby photos to use for a baby shower game-which led to me making this collage of my mom, brother, and I as babies. Too funny!

Thursday was uneventful, then Friday I went and visited with Michael's mom and sister for his mom's birthday (and he joined when he got home from work). Today we're just getting stuff done at home, pretty uneventful! What are you doing?

Peanut Butter S'mores Skillet Brownie

So this was supposed to be a Peanut Butter S'mores Pizookie--which is a copycat from a place called BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse. However...this didn't exactly end up being close enough for me to call it that--I made a slight mistake and did a skillet brownie instead of cookie. So-it's not the same. BUT it is YUMALICIOUS and perfectly deserving of its own title. So PB S'mores Skillet Brownie, here we are!

Essentially we have a super fudgy and dense and chocolatey brownie (with chocolate chips/chunks) baked in a skillet. THEN there's a layer of peanut butter. THEN we put some marshmallows on top and get 'em all toasty. And the result is gooey and rich and really just awesome.

Michael would've liked this better if it had just been the brownie and peanut butter without the toasted marshmallows...because I've married a weirdo. BUT-more for me!!! Even though this is a medium sized skillet brownie...and even though I'm pregnant (although honestly my appetite has gone down if anything so far)-I did not finish the whole thing in one sitting! I cut off little wedges to eat over the course of a few days. But if you eat it all at once I will do nothing but love and admire you.

I mean...it's messy. And gooey. As all the tastiest things are!
