What is Jesse’s favorite thing to cook when he has had a long day….a big juicy steak, a cheeseburger and fries?? No….not my man. He makes eggs and toast :-) These aren’t just any eggs, they have a special name, they are what he proudly calls his, ”egg creation.” Now what exactly makes these eggs so special you might ask?? Well after all the smoke has cleared from the kitchen, it becomes clear. Lots of butter, cheese & ham…I mean it can’t be too bad with all that right?

I have tasted this and to be honest, it is really good. Why eggs and toast you may ask? Well, according to Jesse his dad loved to make eggs  & toast after a long Sunday at church. So, like father, like son.

Look at that face…complete happiness!

Lately Jess and I have been on a smore rediscovery.  We ran into Food City one rainy night on the quest to fulfill a craving for this sweet treat and now it’s like we have them at least once a week.  Bad, I know, but we love it.

Last night while Jess was playing ball I decided to make some smores just for me.  Being the impatient girl that I am I decided to try and put them in the microwave instead of the stove.  BAD IDEA!!!! I set the timer for like 40 seconds and before it was through I could see the marshmallows expanding like ballons through the window.  Those things grew to like 3 times their size in a matter of a few seconds!!!  I ran to open the door and realized yes, they will deflate quickly…whew.  Thinking the worst was over and it was now time to indulge myself, I took a bite of one.  The marshmallows were like wax…..I couldn’t even bit through them. Note to self: do not put marshmallows in the microwave for any reason. So, to all you smore lovers out there.  Don’t try the shortcuts.  Stick to the campfire flame or just put them in the oven.  Such a perfect treat deserves the time and the respect.  SMORE LOVERS UNITE.
