Treat Day Wednesday–Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

So you’ve probably noticed I’ve been away for over a week.  Well the plague came to visit our house and I have never been so sick in my life.  Ok, it’s not the plague but holy cow it was awful.  All four of us went down hard.  Rob came home with a cold from London and it spread through our house like wildfire.  I wanted a prezzie but not this one :)  We even had to postpone Rowan’s 4th bday party.  No worries, it’s been rescheduled for Feb 26th.

I’d like to thank you all for your warm wishes and hopes for a quick recovery.  Loved the wishes but didn’t quite get the quick recovery.  I’m into day 8.  I even thought I was getting better and then took a nose dive which included a trip to the walk in clinic.  They were so awesome at the clinic. I’m sure dealing with sick people all the time takes it toll, but they were great.  Especially after I passed out on them during my chest x-ray.  Apparently not eating for 4 days and then being put on a nebulizer to help with breathing causes black outs.  I mean, who knew?

Well I’m back to eating and breathing properly, the girls seem to be on the mend too.  Poor Rowan got the chesty old man coughs like me and Abby bounced back a little quicker.  Rob too is on the road to recovery.  I do hope this fulfills out cold quota for the year.  I don’t think I’ve ever been through this when the entire household gets sick before.  I don’t recommend it.

Ok, so enough’s enough! 

We are better but not perfect and it’s Wednesday, so I went with simple and loved for Treat Day!

I saw these on Pinterest, you’ve seen them too!  Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies.  We love brownies and who doesn’t like eating the chocolate chip cookie dough, so putting together made perfect sense!
