Paintings

I needed something to do.  Found a pile of  5"x7" canvas panels and so got my paints out. Found some paper scraps and the glue stick.

It's all in the details!

Why one painting when you can do nine!
Decided on painting assembly line style!   This actually was kinda fun.  I plan to paint Latina inspired angel girls on each panel and then I will continue to embellish them.

A quick snack

Made these...yummie!  We've been craving s'mores.  However, it's so hot no time for a fire pit and last camping trip in the forest, no open fires allowed!  A friend posted this recipe and I tried it out!  I had all the ingredients leftover from our camping trip.   The recipe is easy.  One tip is to keep a close eye when you have them under the broiler!  They brown quick.

Here's the recipe....  It's from the website kitchenfunwithmy3sons.com

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely crush graham cracker crumbs (about 7 whole graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 marshmallows (regular size, not mini marshmallows)
  • 2 full size Hershey's Chocolate Bars, unwrapped and divided into 24 pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
  3. Grease a 24 cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop the graham cracker crust mixture into the 24 cups. Gently press the crumbs into the bottom of each cup and up the sides to form little cups.
  4. Bake the mini graham cracker crusts at 350F for 4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Cut each marshmallow in half to make 24 round marshmallows. Place one marshmallow in each graham cracker cup, cut side of the marshmallow facing down.
  6. Set the oven to broil. Place the pan of s'mores in the oven under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, just until the marshmallows are soft and beginning to look toasted. Note: the marshmallows can burn fast, so watch them very closely.
  7. Top each marshmallow with one piece of the Hershey's Chocolate Bar. Allow the s'mores to cool for 15 minutes, then use a butter knife to lift them from the pan.
