5 minute afternoon s'mores

Can we officially call it summer? It has been raining a lot and I don't know about you, but I have the camping BLUES!

One of my favorite summer night activities has to be sitting around the camp fire with family and friends and enjoying a good old fashioned s'more.

 

This afternoon I was craving them so bad so I had to whip up a quick batch! Here is my recipe for 5 minute oven s'mores, in case you don't have a blazing fire handy. (Insert wink here).

 

 

 

LET THEM BE LITTLE: Tricks to taking better pictures of your children

Over the last few years I have been learning more and more about photography. I started really loving photography after food blogging and learning how to stage pretty pictures and work with natural light. The more I used those tricks on my food, the more they spilled over into my other "everyday life" photography. The pictures of my kids started looking better. I wanted to share these tricks with you, so that you can better document the life around you that you never want to forget!  

Raspberry rhubarb delight

Comfort food at it's finest, with a twist. My original rhubarb crisp recipe is from my Grandma, the flavors are tart with a sweet crispy crunch from the oat and brown sugar topping.

I planned to make this recipe for my brother on his birthday, but when I noticed I was out of a few of the ingredients, I improvised and realized that I loved the result so much I had to document it! 

If you have some guests coming for dinner, this dessert is a sure crowd pleaser.

It was a special compliment to me when my brother walked in and said "Hmmmm it smells so good in here Em, it smells like Grandma's house"...

15 minute Wonton Tacos

 

 

Are you ready for the quickest taco dinner you have ever made? These are so easy and such a fun twist on regular hard shell tacos. In just 15 minutes your kitchen will be filled with the scents of cilantro and lime, and your table set up for a colorful family fiesta!  

Rosemary and Lemon cream scones

These scones are delightful! After making two batches this week and sharing with friends, I knew I wanted to document this gem of a recipe and share with you!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
