Chocolate Pudding Cake

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.
