What's up fellow bloggers? Alright, this is my first attempt at my own blog, so I hope all goes well :) Now! I'm back down at the wonderful Cedar City to attend my second year at the best college ever, Southern Utah University. I love this school so flipping much and will NOT go anywhere else for my education. I've made great friends, learned a lot of educational and social lessons, have made fantastic memories, and can't wait to see what this year has in store :)
So there's something you should know about me. Years ago, I wasn't really happy with the way I was fittin into clothes. So I decided to change that. After a plethora of attempts, I found a life habit that worked like magic. I got rid of all sweet or treats in my diet, except for one day of the week. The day I chose was Monday. Why Monday you may ask? Well, A. Everyone hates them, so why not make Monday a better day by getting my weeks worth of sugar in it, eh? ;) B. I am LDS and my family and I do FHE every Monday night, which usually includes a delicious treat and I did NOT want to have to pass those up each week. So the healthy eating habit began. It took a complete year to actually be good at it (there were many days where I "cheated"), but it finally became a habit and IT WORKED. I instantly noticed a difference and loved the results. So, 4ish years later, I'm still doing the same thing. If you're wanting to lose weight, this is an EXCELLENT way to do so. It's very hard to reject a delicious brownie the day after (or especially before) your treat day, yes, but your body will thank you every day you do it.
SO all that being said, I do love my Mondays. They are my favorite days. I call them my happy days :) And I usually celebrate by making something yummy for my tummy on these days :) Being back at school in an unfamiliar kitchen and not a lot of ingredients, I looked through my mom's blog (click
here to visit this blessed site) and found the perfect thing.
Hollilyn's Chocolate Pudding Cake. This dense, chocolaty, heavenly goodness is to die for! It's ridiculously easy to make and will satisfy and chocolate craving. Just be sure to have a glass of milk ready ;) PS please be so kind as to ignore the horrible quality of the picture :P Hopefully those will get better as time progresses.
I've been introduced to Pinterest. I pinned my first pin. I'm addicted. And what is my biggest board? The food one of course! ;) So I decided to finally make something off of it :) Nutella Cookies! If you're wondering if they were super good, the answer is yes. However, it was a very dry mix, so don't freak out when you make it :)
I love my two closest friends at SUU. So to show them a little appreciation, I made them dinner :D This dish looks fancy, so you would think it would be hard to make, right? Wrong!!! So. Flippin. Easy. And so good! Beware though, I've never had such spicy chicken in my life. Especially when you use Pepper Jack cheese. Kiersten, like me, loves the spice, so we were crying tears of joy, but little did I know that Rissa cannot stand spicy stuff. Bahaha the poor girl almost died ;) Ye be warned! 
Want delicious, easy to make, buttery, salty, homemade popcorn goodness? Then make this. One bite of this and you'll never want microwave popcorn again. 
My dear, sweet cousin, Steevi came to visit for the weekend and we decided to make something to make our tummies happy :) After asking and asking and searching and searching, my awesome friend, Kiersten's mom had a recipe for Peanut Butter Bars! Hooray! I didn't get a copy of the recipe, so if you want it... well... best of luck to ya ;) But I will tell you that we used a secret ingredient for the frosting mixture! Ready... NUTELLA.
Love mint? Love brownies? Then you'll absolutely love these! Homemade brownies topped with melted Ande's mints is heaven on earth. I love them, my friends love them, and my soul loves me for loving them. If you want to make your day from good to great, make these. Now. 
Ok, so here's the thing. I already wake up early enough to get myself
semi-decent for the world that I don't want to have to spend an extra 10
minutes to cook, eat, and burn my esophagus with Malt-O-Meal everyday.
Soooooo I make these!
They're delicious, easy to make, and good for you :) What other reasons
are there? Just make these the night before, then nuke 'em in the
microwave and off you go to live your busy life!
