This updated version of the classic is a treat for kids and adults. It’s still perfect for little hands to help with the mixing and stuffing, but I’ve added a twist: salted caramel chips! Found them on the chocolate chip shelf at the store and couldn’t resist. Of course, you can use any combination of chips and jam that sound yummy—get creative!
It’s hot and steamy this summer, which brings back memories of camping. Our family had a knack for picking the rainiest weekends—seriously, it rained 85% of the time we camped! Friends would even check our plans to avoid the downpour. But you can skip the sauna-like tents and enjoy campfire treats at home with these S’mores Bars. No hot sticks required. Enjoy the taste of summer without the soggy sleeping bags!
A four-ingredient family-friendly main dish. Our kids used to make their own lunches on summer days and this was a neighborhood favorite for kids old enough to use an oven or toaster oven.
I had forgotten how delicious these fruit cups were until recently, when the grandkids were over and helped me make a big batch. My version has no added sugar for an easy snack from the freezer when little ones drop by your house. For adults, they’re tasty “ice cubes” in a glass of wine for a quick sangria on a Friday afternoon! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…
