Today Deserves Brownies!!!

     Hello everyone!! I hope that you all have had a wonderful start to your week. I actually had a whole blog post planned about our weekend for today but I been so excited I just had to sit and be excited for awhile.
     We went for additional allergy testing last week and they took his blood to get a more exact read on how allergic he is to what. First things first we no longer have to worry about shellfish, as in he can eat it and be fine. He still can not have peanuts or any peanut product, but his allergy number came back low. This means we are holding out hope that he will outgrow this allergy and/or it won't be a life threatening one. He is also still allergic to dairy but his numbers are low enough that we are going in for a "food challenge" next week at the doctor's office. A food challenge is me making a muffin or cake that has milk as an ingredient and letting Bennett chow down in the doctors office. A very long story cut short is I was in tears on the phone with the nurse. O HAPPY DAY!!! Bennett has a real chance at growing out of his allergies.

     This good news calls for an amazing dessert tonight after dinner. I usually do not make dessert for just myself but my Chewy Gooey Brownies where calling my name. These are so tasty and rich, it doesn't take a very big piece to cure a sweet tooth. Even a celebratory sweet tooth!
