Recipe: Smores

We've been using this recipe for a while now. It's very simple and cheap.

1 package of chocolate striped cookies (Any kind will do. I use Aldi's brand because the packages are under $2.00.)

1 package of marshmallows

After you heat the marshmallow place it between two cookies. Note: if you are using metal hot dog sticks, spray them first with cooking spray. When finished you can clean the sticks with wet wipes or soak in hot soapy water.

Kitchen tip: recipe card holder

I use a plastic picture frames to slide my recipe cards in so they don't get splatter on them. The frames come in all different sizes. This one is a 5x7.

When buying a bird bath, make sure that it's only 2 inches deep in the center of the bowl. This is to prevent young birds from drowning.

Hummingbird: food recipe

Bring 4 cups water to a boil and stir in 1 cup sugar. Stir to dissolve about 1 - 2 minutes. When cool, pour into the a pitcher or an old pop liter bottle and refrigerate until needed. You do not need to add food coloring. When the weather gets hot (80's and 90's) don't let the food set in the feeders for more than a couple of days. You'll make the birds sick.
