Best Easy S’more Bars

I’ve been kicking the idea of S’more Bars around for a long time. Years ago, I used to make a version with Golden Grahams cereal, and they were a lot of fun. Maybe that will be a post someday. This time, I wanted my Best Easy S’more Bars to taste like the real thing. Graham crackers. Chocolate. Marshmallows. Everything you love about a classic s’more. Campfire optional.

The Nacho layer, IMHO, really “makes” the casserole.

Recipes for Mother’s Day

When I started gathering recipes for Mother’s Day, there were so many I wanted to include, especially since it’s really the start of spring into summer. Doncha love that transition when fresh and fun start to happen, and we leave cold and wet behind? The meals we serve need to reflect that!

Finally, I narrowed that down to my all-time faves, just a few in each category, and tried to include recipes that might look fancy but are easy, along with some specialties.

Whether the day holds breakfast, brunch, or dinner, I hope you’ll find something to inspire you. If not, check around my site!
