Foody Friday - Indoor "Super Easy S'mores"

We finally received a good bit of snow this week!! I wouldn't call it anything serious, only a few inches, nothing like what my family in Indiana is dealing with....8 inches and counting!! But for SW Kansas a few inches and some wind was enough to cancel school for two days. It was too cold and windy to play outside...we tried! By day number two I was already worried that the boys were getting bored...EEEEK!!! Time to shake things up a bit.
 
On Pinterest I found a photo of Cast Iron S'mores but without instructions.
Time for a bit of experimenting.
 
 
Luckily I live two blocks from a grocery store! After a quick Arctic hike I had all my ingredients; s'mores stuff and butter.
 
 
First I preheated my oven to 300 degrees. You could probably go to 350 but my oven runs on the hot side. I greased my cast iron skillet, bottom and sides, really well with butter.
 
 
Pour in a package of chocolate chips.

 
Spread marshmallows evenly over the top. Then place in the heated oven. Watch carefully until marshmallows and chocolate are melted. It only took about 8 minutes in my oven. Then I put the skillet under a low broiler for 3 minutes to turn the marshmallows nice and golden.

 
The boys used the graham crackers to dip all that wonderful gooey goodness straight from the pan.

 
Yip was in 7th Heaven eating this, so much in fact he made himself sick by eating so much! Indoor s'mores...a quick little treat to break up the cabin fever!

Foody Friday - Cheesy Crackers just like Goldfish!


Last week I met with my ladies group and we were having a lesson on cheese and a cheese tasting. There was goat cheese, brie, hivarti, muenster...so many to try! One of the ladies made these wonderful cheese sticks that I thought tasted just like Goldfish crackers! 


Cheesy Crackers

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 stick of butter
3/4 cup of flour 
dash or two of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 

Process all ingredients in a food processor until worked into a ball of dough. Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured tea towel or other cotton cloth and cut into squares, about 1" or so. (Next time I'm going to use alphabet cookie cutters!) Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes in 350 degree oven.  

Not all of my kids were convinced however that they were wonderful; one of them just had to veto it. Ah, two out of three isn't bad.
