C H O C O L A T E!
It makes everything better! Am I right!?
When you’re in need of a pick me up…. enter chocolate… and all is right with the world!
My husband knows that if I’m having a bad day all he needs to do is bring home a bottle of wine, a redbox movie, and some CHOCOLATE! That frown will turn upside down in minutes!
This past weekend we were all in the car on the way to meet friends for lunch. Mike asked Cason, “hey buddy, what should we do for mommy on mother’s day?” To which Cason replied, “I don’t know, mommy what do you want??”
I said “I would love for daddy and Cason to make me a special dinner all by themselves.”
Of course Cason takes it as a challenge and says, “ok mommy. Daddy we watch Bobby Flay.”
haha.. he is truly my son! Apparently he also goes to Bobby Flay for inspiration. 🙂
I can’t wait to see what they come up with! Whatever it is I know it’s going to be special because my boys made it for me. 🙂
Although secretly I hope they remember to make dessert, because dessert is the way to my heart.
SOoo… this is me dropping a little hint to my boys (and crossing my fingers that my husband reads this post so he knows to make cookies)
Because these Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the bomb.com!
Not only are they filled with C H O C O L A T E chunks with subtle hints of toasted coconut in every bite. BUT they also have less butter AND sugar than most recipes making these slightly healthier than the average.
What does that mean? You can eat MORE! Woohoo! Happy Dance ensuing …… now!
So to wrap up. If you like chocolate. You like cookies. And you want to eat them.
