Knowing today is Friday. WATCH HOW-TO VIDEO HERE: Yup, Friday is the best.
And I know that I cannot be the only one who feels this way. In general, I think Friday is a very loved day by most. What’s not to love?
For me, Friday means no pressure. I don’t typically have a Saturday post and I don’t typically have other project deadlines due on Saturdays, so Friday nights have become my free night. A night with no writing recipes, editing photos and typing words upon words about said recipe, hoping at the same time I am not boring you guys to death. Don’t get me wrong, I love working on my work, I truly do love it, which is probably why I can do it so much, BUT a little break is always needed. Especially after a full week. So yeah, I love me my Fridays!
The best Fridays though, come after an exceptionally jam-packed week. The ones that leave you tired, but feeling good about what you have accomplished. To me, that’s the best feeling. This week was crazy. There was lots planning, plenty of cooking, and a handful of fails – luckily the wins made up for the fails. There was tons of writing, emailing, editing and grocery shopping. Way too much SNOW – and not enough sun. Nothing new though.
Thursday pretty much whipped my butt, so Friday obviously deserves some chocolate. Duh. It’s the very smart thing to do.
Another smart thing to do?
Mom’s oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies (in bar form) + peanut butter swirled brownies… All together in one big 9×13 inch pan. Yuppers.
Sometimes you just need a little simplicity. Sometimes some simple cookies and brownies – classics that will never, ever get boring (and my family’s favorites) are just the trick. The over the top stuff is delicious, but really all I wanted to do last week was just make something sort of familiar and somewhat normal, so I did, and I do think it was one of my best decision all week.
I mean dear gosh, look at all that chocolate and with oatmeal (MY favorite cookie) and peanut butter? These are pretty much everything you could want from a bar. They are ever so slightly crumbly, extra moist, extra gooey, extra chocolatey and the texture is out of this world. No really, it is!
And don’t skimp on the chocolate chunks, Friday would be disappointed in you.
