Good Evening Everyone,
First off thanks to everyone for following my food blog. I know its been a while i've been super busy with work and have been keeping up with the cooking but its been hard and i'm usually pressed for time so i haven't been able to keep the blogging part up. However this is my favorite time of the year to cook, i think mainly because its comfort food season. Now just to be able to cook all this goodness without gaining to much would be just wonderful lol. Ive got a few things i'm going to do here today.
First off im going to Start trying to make a pinterest inspired project with my husband once week probably on the weekend, and i will post pictures and how to make it here along with the pin itself. I also have 2 wonderful recipes for yall to try the Spicy Pumpkin Chili, which is amazing and that little bit of pumpkin flavor and spice really makes it feel like the fall season, and then S'mores Brownies. The brownies are amazingly delicious. We don't eat a lot of Sweets here in the Flanagan house, i usually try a little bite of whatever i bake and leave a small piece for the husband and then the rest of it always ends up going to one of our jobs with us. This time i took these to my work and they absolutely loved them. I hope you enjoy everything in this blog today :)
Lets start off with my pin of the week:
This was super easy yet cute to make and my husband even got to add his touch to it

Now onto my last and final thing i'm putting up this is probably the best part because well for one who doesn't like s'mores and for 2 who doesn't like brownies and why would you not want to put these two things together to make a fabulous dessert and your kids are sure to love them.
S'mores Brownies
Ingredients:
1 package of brownie mix
6 graham crackers
1 2/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 big hersheys bar ( 8- 1.5 oz bars milk chocolate)
Prepare brownie mix according to package. Spread into 9x13 inch pan. In a medium bowl, break up the graham crackers into 1 inch pieces and toss with marshmallows and milk chocolate, set aside. Bake brownies until they have about 5-10 minutes left of cooking and remove them and sprinkle with the s'mores goodies evenly, pop back in the oven and let finish baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool before cutting.
