it I would suggest a couple of modifications. I would break up the cereal to make it easier to eat. The next recommendation is a complete personal preference, but when the recipe calls for saving the 1 cup of marshmallows and broiling them with the chocolate pieces, I think that’s meant to give your bars that fresh-off-the-fire charred flavor. Personally, that is not what I am looking for in a s’more. I would suggest melting all 10 ounces of marshmallows with the butter and then immediately adding the chocolate chips after you mix in with the cereal. The heat from the marshmallow/butter combo will be enough to slightly melt your chocolate.

The bars are very sweet so I would recommend cutting into smaller pieces. Also, don’t be heartbroken if the appearance of your bars do not match up to the picture provided — it never turns out that beautiful! And, what it is lacking in appearance it makes up for in taste!

Pork Lo Mein

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork

1 celery stalk

2 garlic cloves

1 bundle bok choy

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil

2 Tbsps sherry vinegar

2 Tbsps black bean sauce

1/2-3/4 pounds lo mein noodles

1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Serves 2

Directions:

Start a medium sized pot with boiling water. Chop celery, garlic and bok choy (discard root ends). Combine chopped garlic and bok choy in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, black bean sauce, vinegar and 2 Tbsp of water for your sauce.

In a large fry pan heat the sesame oil until hot, then add the chopped celery. Cook until celery starts to get soft. Then add the garlic and bok choy — this will only take a minute or two to get slightly softened.

Meanwhile, add the lo mein noodles to your boiling water. Cook stirring occasionally until noodles are tender.

Drizzle olive oil in a fry pan and add pork. Cook over medium heat until meat is browned. Combine the pork, cooked vegetables and cooked noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and you are ready to eat! D

S’mores bars

Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter

1-10 ounce pkg mini marshmallows

7 cups Golden Grahams cereal

3 Hershey’s milk chocolate bars*, broken into pieces

*I chose to use chocolate chips instead of Hershey’s bars simply for convenience

Directions:

Grease a 9x13 pan with butter.

In a large pot over medium to low heat, melt the 3 Tbsp. of butter. Add all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.

Remove from heat and add in the 7 cups of Golden Grahams until evenly coated.

Press into buttered pan and top with the chocolate pieces and remaining 1 cup marshmallows.

Heat broiler and cook until marshmallows are toasted, about 2 minutes.

Let set for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

***Key step here! If you’re anything like me, you will want to immediately eat any baked treat once it comes out of the oven. I think my picture speaks for itself on the appearance of the bars — I only waited 5 minutes. D
