Behind the scenes

Dear readers and followers,

This is exciting! We mentioned in one of our last posts that we are starting to style and shoot parts of the blog ourselves. Well - here are some behind the scene photos (taken with an Iphone!). This round - Alexa was shooting.

Enjoy!

We cant wait to show you more behind the scenes!

Summer Salad Bar

Summertime! Camp, sun, and late & relaxing dinners. We love our summer dinners!

For this blog post, we wanted to feature our Mom's salad bar. She cuts up and prepares all the pieces and leaves them on the table for us to pick and choose and make our own plate. We love it! If there are leftovers, they go in the fridge for another meal. This is a cool, delicious dinner - perfect for those hot summer nights!

For this blog post, we got to do more food styling and we even took some of these photographs ourselves!

Enjoy!

City S'Mores!

Happy Summer to our followers and readers!

Summer is halfway over and we are excited to share this blog post with you! We all love S'Mores and since we live in a city, we thought it would be fun to create a S'Mores experience as if we were out camping! We started with this gadget we bought at Amazon.com:

Microwavable S'Mores Maker It's very cool - and it works! It's $7.00.

Since marshmallows are dairy free - the only obstacle was the chocolate - Mom and Grandma to the rescue! .... there is a way to make them dairy free for Alexa.

Read on and enjoy our City S'Mores!

Enjoy!

The ingredients: Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, Chocolate. Easy!

Jet-Puffed large marshmallows!

Graham Crackers - these are dairy free!

Here is the chocolate that Alexa can eat. Lindt Swiss Bittersweet. Delicious!

Emma filled the S'More maker with water per the directions. Then the cap is closed tightly so it wont spill when it's hot after being in the microwave. Caution kids!
