Can I Have S'more of Those Please?

Happy Wednesday!  In my last post, I told you that I wanted to share a recipe for the most adorable and delicious treats that I made for a tailgating party a few weeks ago. So, here it is...

I found this idea on Pinterest (where else?), and immediately decided to make them for the tailgate party that weekend.  The pin on Pinterest linked me to Julie's post on "the family kitchen" which gave me the recipe and some awesome photos of the creation process and the finished products! 

I altered my recipe slightly and skipped the "mix heavy cream with the chocolate chips" step.  And I'm not sure if they used semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, but my chocolate was not as dark as in their photos... I used milk chocolate chips in mine.

To create these delightful treats (based on my alterations) you'll need:

-1 bag of large/jumbo marshmallows
-2 to 3 cups of milk chocolate chips
-Small bowl of graham cracker crumbs (I didn't measure this out)
-Toothpicks or wooden skewers (I used toothpicks that I already had at home)

I melted the chocolate chips in the microwave according to the directions on the bag. While the chips were melting, I placed a toothpick in each of the marshmallows.  Once the chips were melted (being careful not to burn the chocolate), I dipped each marshmallow into the chocolate, completely covering the bottom half to two-third of the marshmallow.  Then I dipped and rolled the marshmallow around in the bowl of graham cracker crumbs to complete the s'more effect.  I placed the marshmallows on a piece wax paper so that the chocolate could set without the bites sticking to anything.

It is literally that EASY, and let me tell you, they were a total with the tailgaters!  I laid them out on the food table and they were completely gone in 5 minutes (no exaggeration)!  Everyone loved them!  It only took me about 15 to 20 minutes to make about 30 bites, so they are a perfect little treat to make on short notice or when you just don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen to make a dessert. 

 Here is a photo I snapped just minutes before the entire plate of bites was devoured: 


What are your favorite party snacks and treats? I'm always looking for new recipes to take to parties and gatherings and would love to hear your ideas! 
Until next time...

Easy-Peasy Teacher Appreciation Gifts

My little bits just finished up her first year of preschool (PS1) last week, and just started her second year (PS2) this week.  Her first year at her school was nothing short of amazing, and I'm so happy with our decision to start her in the program last August.  Her teachers for PS1 were the best, so I wanted to give them a little something to show our appreciation and gratitude for all of the love, time, and patience they poured into our girl over the past 12 months.  I wanted to keep it simple, and give them something that they could appreciate and actually use, and eventually decided on a small succulent arrangement and a Starbucks gift card.  Because who isn't obsessed with succulents and coffee  right now always?!? I put the succulent arrangements together myself, and I love the way they turned out!  I picked up the white planters at Hobby Lobby for around $5 each.  The succulents came from Home Depot (their selection was HUGE) and ranged in...

Becoming a Runner: Week 4 Update

I now have 4 weeks of running under my belt, and I have to say that it feels amazing!   I made an improvement from my previous two weeks, and ran 4 days last week.   My goal was to run 5 days, and while I fell short of meeting that, I’m still so happy with my progress.   We were blessed with some AMAZING weather in Louisville last week, which definitely improved my mood and my motivation.   It was sunny and so much warmer, and running in 50 degrees is, without a doubt, easier than running in those freezing temperatures I ‘d been facing! Here’s what I did for Week 4 (January 11 – January 17): Day 22 (1.11.15): 2 mile jog <<Make up from Original Day 16, Supposed to do a 2 mile jog>> Day 23 (1.12.15): 1 mile jog, ¼ mile walk, 1 mile jog <<Make up from Day 17, Supposed to do a 1 mile jog, ¼ mile walk, 1 mile jog, ¼ mile walk, 1 mile jog>> Day 24 (1.13.15): Rest <<Supposed to do a 1 ½ mile jog, ¼ mile walk, 2 mile jog>> ...

Becoming a Runner: Week 3 Update

Week 3 of my 30-Day Running Challenge was similar to Week 2 in that it was not very exciting.   It’s been very cold here in Louisville—like, walk outside and you immediately freeze where you stand cold.   And because getting out of bed on time in the morning is a daily struggle for me, and I work 10+ hour shifts a day, my runs are limited to nighttime, when it’s blistering cold and all I want to do is crawl under a cozy blanket and cuddle with Tilton while watching our shows.   Needless to say, finding the motivation to run when I get home from work has been tough.   I’m doing my best to stick with it though.   During Week 3 (January 4 – January 10), I only ran 3 days again.   Bummer. Here’s what I did for Week 3: Day 15 (1.4.15): Rest (SICK) <<Supposed to be a rest day>> Day 16 (1.5.15): 2 ½ mile jog <<Make up from Original Day 12, Supposed to do 2 mile jog>> Day 17 (1.6.15): Rest <<Supposed to do a 1 mile jo...
