Fat Free Favorite

After much trial and error, here is the best fat free brownie recipe I've tried. The sauce makes a gooey, fudgy layer on the bottom, yummy!

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl combine:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (optional)

Add

1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract

Stir to blend. Spoon into an 8X8 inch baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine:

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 to 1 3/4 cup hot water (see note)

Stir to blend and pour gently over batter in prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes.

Note: A fudgy sauce forms on the bottom of the brownie as it bakes. The
consistency of the sauce depends on the amount of hot water you use in the
recipe. If you use the maximum amount, it's like a chocolate syrup; with the
minimum amount it's more like a pudding. I usually use about a cup of water max so it stays thick.

Apparently, a gallbladder attack can start up contractions. The reverse is not true though. Thank goodness or I'd be considering dates for a c-section. Good times, talk about a confusing rush of sensations! Attack number five came the other night along with some lovely tightening. This was my first time to feel contractions of any sort, so I wasn't sure if the event called for gallbladder pain meds or not. It did. Pain was gone after the meds wore off, so I'm good now. No more pork loin for me.

A Wedding Tomato

This is from a wedding (Will and Connie Smith's) I went to in January. I loved my maternity dress, though everyone said they had no trouble finding me in the crowd. I wore it again to a wedding last weekend and looked much more "ripe." :) It's great that BIG is cute when you're pregnant!
