Roasting marshmallows…..

We had a great weekend, as we usually do, lots of time spent outside playing t-ball with the children, having a BBQ, swimming–usually but it is only 68 degrees for August:(, and then we have a fire to roast marshmallows for a nice fun wind down to our day.

We have always used the regular type cylindrical marshmallows, but this time we used the flat square ones. They worked so wonderfully. I don’t know if my children all of a sudden became experts at toasting marshmallows, because they almost always burn them, but these didn’t burn as quickly. They turned a nice roasted brown color and then didn’t puff up and make a mess. A nice “clean” roasting marshmallow so to say.Definitely something to try next time you think of roasting marshmallows with your children.

Poor boy subs recipe

amy / 08/04/2013

Nothing beats homemade subs for a nice family picnic. These are a great alternative to the traditional meat, cheese, and bread combination. Try some for your next picnic. Note you can also prepare these beforehand and then freeze them. They thaw nicely and then you bake them in the oven.

In a small mixing bowl combine 1 pkg cream cheese, 1/2 stick butter, 2 T minced garlic, and 2 squirts of mustard.

This is your sauce that will be spread on your bread For my sub buns, I use the italian loaves from Meijer, but you can use Hoagie buns, or even regular hot dog buns. Spread one half of the bread with your sauce mixture. Add your favorite meats to it. We do one with chicken breast, salami, and provolone cheese The other one we like ham, salami, and swiss cheese. Close up and then wrap it in tin foil. Place in 350 oven for about 30 minutes. You want your cheese to melt. To serve you can then add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, mild pepper rings, and pickles.
