little j's S'mores In A Bowl



little j really wanted to make dessert tonight and she, like most other kids, loves s'mores. Here's her s'mores-without-the-fire recipe.





little j's S'mores In A Bowl

3 graham cracker squares
3 marshmallows
3 squares Hershey's chocolate
Chocolate sauce
Whipped cream

Using three ramekins, crumble one graham cracker square in each bowl. Place chocolate square on top of the the graham crackers. Place one marshmallow in each bowl.

Microwave one at a time on high for 10 - 15 seconds (watch carefully because the marshmallow could burn!). Top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and and dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy!

Chicken With Smoked Paprika Yogurt Marinade

Over the last couple of years I've used several recipes that involve marinating chicken breast or thighs in yogurt with spices. Tonight I came up with my own recipe and it was a hit!

Chicken with Smoked Paprika and Yogurt Marinade

1 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 lemon sliced thin
About 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

In a medium-sized bowl mix yogurt, olive oil, paprika, pepper, and salt. Stir in lemon slices and garlic. Put chicken in and mix around to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 2 days.

Pre-heat grill for 15 minutes. Place chicken on grill making sure that each piece is coated with marinade. Grill until done, about 15 minutes, turning frequently.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

(Note: You can also make kabobs! Perfect little appetizers.)
