Brownies!

One of my closest friends is finally pregnant after anxiously waiting many, many years. As you can imagine they are thrilled and I am over the moon excited for the both of them. They are going to make amazing parents and I cannot wait to meet this little bundle of C and C.

This week she passed the three month mark! After this point the risks associated with pregnancy decrease significantly. I decided we should mark the occasion with some homemade brownies to celebrate. (brownies are the key to any pregnant women's heart) Who am I kidding brownies are the key to my heart too!

This is a very quick and easy recipe. Not so healthy, but they sure taste good. Some things are just meant to stay unhealthy (wink)!
