More food! =]
Sorry that this blog isn't always about Madie & I. But I figured how many times can I say "Oh, she moved today!". haha.
So, I figured why not add other things...
The day that third tri started was also Mine & DH's 10 year anniversary of the day we started dating! Yup, 10 years. It's crazy, I know.
Well, I thought I would be a good wife and make an awesome dinner:
AND, I made dessert: Champagne Chocolate Mousse with homemade Raspberry Whipped Cream:
Oh, and yes, those flowers in the pictures were from DH! That man knows me so well! I'd rather have flowers than anything else! =]
xo.

FINALLY, We are officially third trimester! =]
She is getting so strong! She's rolling a lot more...and dragging her little arms and legs across my abdomen. It's so weird to reached down and feel her little hand or foot sticking out! =]

Just call me a slacker...
Wednesday night Dh really wanted breakfast for dinner...
So, we made apple cinnamon pancakes with bacon.
And then I made apple topping to go on the pancakes...It was pretty awesome!

I made dinner...
Last night, I was just really in the mood to cook. I thought I would share our yummy dinner. =]
And I made dessert! You have to make these S'more Brownies! They are amazing!
Here's the recipe...enjoy!
S'mores Brownies
Ingredients
Crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Brownie:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
4 large cold eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Topping:
4 cups large marshmallows
Directions
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.
For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

Month 6!
Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
