MIA...and Tasty Tuesday!

I know I have been MIA for awhile now...its because a lot has been happening to our family.

Right after I started this blog, my husband's uncle got really sick and we had to fly out to California to be with him.  He had cancer for a while and unfortunately he lost his fight.  

RIP Donald Hembree.  You were an amazing man and will be missed. 

 Like his idol John Wayne once said, "courage is being scared and saddling up anyway."  He fought hard and strong for way to long. 

On top of everything else, our family came down with strep throat last week..which was... fun.  So we are on the mend finally!

So now for today..

it is Tasty Tuesday!

And the star of the show....SMORES RICE CRISPY TREATS! Yummmmmm

Ingredients:

1 package large marshmallows

3 tablespoons butter

(can substitute large marshmallows and butter for marshmallow cream) and please do it is much easier

6 cups rice crispy

1 package of small marshmallows

1 package of milk chocolate chips

crushed graham cracker pieces

1. make rice crispy treats as usual according to box instruction.

2. set oven on high broil

3. cover rice crispy treats with layer of marshmallow cream to hold it together then a layer of crushed graham crackers

4. cover that layer with small marshmallows and chocolate chips (more the better!)

5. Put the pan in the oven on the middle shelf and turn light on and watch marshmallows turn brown....if you dont watch them they will burn!

and cut them when they are still warm and put on seperate plate or they will be next to impossible to get out of the pan.

Ta DA!! marshmallow goodness without the campfire! ...even though we have a perfectly good firepit in our back yard that needs to be used...oh well..

my excuse is that it rained today. 

 haha! Enjoy!!

Xoxo,
