Nutella Mug Cake Bring Your Child's Favorite Characters to Life with These Disney-Themed Lunches Healthy Mickey-Shaped PB&J Muffins: A Breakfast the Whole Family with Love A Yummy Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe Even the Pickiest Eaters Will Love This 3-Ingredient Coffee Fudge Is the Best Morning Pick-Me-Up Totally DIY S'mores I love living away from home while I'm at college. I'm not trying to be rude to my mom and dad or anything (really, I promise!) but living away from home is really one of the most defining moments of my college career, a fact I'm sure many people would agree with. It's such a great way to meet new people and build really lasting friendships, and learn to be more independent. One of the nicest things about living in a dorm setting is that there's always someone to hang out with, whether it's for doing homework, or just relaxing in front of the tv after a long day of classes. Study breaks are also one of my favorite things about living at school. As much as I may love s'mores, they're not a treat that I grew up eating, or eat very often. I've never really been a huge fan of marshmallows; there's just something about their texture that I can't really appreciate. Making the homemade graham crackers was no big deal at all. The next day, turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board.
Crockpot Mongolian Beef My family loves Asian-inspired food. We don’t have many takeout places close to where we live, so when I find an easy recipe (especially when it is made in the crock pot), I jump on it. I knew this recipe would be a hit even before I made it. It doesn’t require any cooking on preparation day, just throw a few ingredients in a bag, and that’s it! It smells sooooo good while it’s cooking, and looks like you spent all day slaving over the stove! By the time the steak was finished cooking, it was fall-apart tender.

Yammies Noshery: Broccoli Cheese Soup: Panera Bread Copycat Recipe On Wednesday my sister and I volunteered to make the soup supper to go with the Advent service at church. Before you go thinking I'm some kind of charitable, goodhearted soul, I must tell you that the only reason that I do it is because I LOVE COOKING. In case you hadn't figured that out yet. Okay, so I was like, "Whadaya think, Nemo? Well, it would have, except everybody had to try a huge bowl of BOTH kinds of soup AND meatballs. Barbequed meatballs in broccoli soup. I had to leave the room. Anyways, we ran out of soup after about ten minutes of serving. So during church I had a sudden inspiration (um, Pastor, if you're reading this, that was a typo. Anways, I burst out of church and ran up to my friend screaming, "Hey guess what!! Yeah. I mean it would be like getting paid to have fun. My friend laughed at me when I told her. Okay. And so is this soup. I don't even know if this was as good as Panera Bread's because I'm usually mostly paying attention to the sourdough bread bowls.
Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas Bars I love the look of the original Samoas Girl Scout Cookies, but making them from scratch can be a little bit time consuming. This is largely because the dough must be rolled out, cut out and then each of the cookies has to be handled individually for topping. The results are well worth it, in my opinion, but we don’t always have time to make a labor-intensive recipe – no matter how bad a craving for Girl Scout cookies gets. Bar cookies are the perfect solution. This is basically a shortcut recipe that still delivers all the great samoas flavor without some of the more tedious parts of cooking making. The final step is to dip these in chocolate once the topping has set. Homemade Samoas BarsCookie Base: 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 large egg 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt First, make the crust. Preheat oven to 300. Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave-safe bowl with milk and salt. Makes 30 bar cookies.

Banana Honey Blue Cheese Crescents S’mores Cookies April 26, 2012 | Print | E-mail | Filed under chocolate, cookie, marshmallow It seems that my offer went over well with Mother Nature…even though it’s still on the chilly side out there, there’s been no more snow to speak of, and for that I am very thankful. Now, we can get back to all things spring…and even a little bit of summer. My friend Shelly over at Cookies & Cups has been doing a S’mores Week on her blog all week, so I’ve been dreaming about going camping and one of my favorite parts, sitting around the campfire talking and making s’mores. Since I was really craving cookies one night this week, I decided to take that inspiration and whip up a batch of s’mores cookies. 1 stick butter, softened1/2 cup sugar1/4 cup brown sugar1 egg1 1/2 tsp vanilla1 1/2 cups flour1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed graham cereal1 cup chocolate chips2 cups mini marshmallows6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
