Dessert This Week!

S’mores aren’t just for campfires anymore!  Not since you’ve come across these No Bake S’mores Bars. Enjoy gooey, chocolatey S’mores indoors anytime of the year with this easy no bake recipe using Golden Grahams (or any honey grahams cereal), chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows.

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Fresh guacamole makes a great snack with tortilla chips or on toast! Full of diced tomatoes and peppers and sprinkled with special seasonings, lime juice and salt, it’s one of those wonderful dips you will love having in the fridge.

Making Breakfast Easy

These are the BEST apple muffins! They are completely, 100%, leisurely Saturday morning with a cup of coffee, coffee cake kind of extra- warm, cozy and everything an apple recipe should.  But most importantly, these apple muffins are easy to make!  With a recipe similar to Monkey Bread, these pull-apart apple muffins bake up in their own caramel sauce & are filled with apple pie filling, cream cheese & pecans.
