S’more Cookie Bars

Tina20 Comments

What’s the first dessert that comes to mind when you think of summer?  For me, it’s a s’more. Le’ts address the elephant in the room first.  For all my life I’ve called it a s’mores.  To be clear I thought it was like deer or moose.  I thought s’mores was both singular and plural.  Wikipedia has now corrected me.  It’s a s’more (no “s” at the end).  I learn something new everyday.  😉  If you’re my husband (the Pixar fan) then you may also refer to them as schmoes. Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program.  Desserts.  Summer desserts.  How …

Here’s the fourth installment in my Best Ever series!  What’s it all about?  Click here to get all the deets. Today I’m sharing with you the Best… Scones… Ever.  I’m specifically talking about the base of the scone mix. I’ve used many scone recipes and some of them were awesome enough to be included on my blog.  Variety is the spice of life.  😉  However, I realized something when I made these strawberry scones.  I keep going back to this base recipe for the scones which means I’ve got something good here.  They are crumbly but moist and absolutely delicious.  …

TGIF! Guys, I’m so glad that this week is over.  This week I had a root canal.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be.  The bad part was that my dentist began the procedure last week but he couldn’t reach all of my roots so he had to sent me to an endodontist.  The pain was way, way worse last week.  Apparently I have curved roots which makes them difficult to get at but thankfully the endodontist was able to get at them and the root canal procedure was a success.  I’m not done yet though.  …
