Some of our friends invited us over for a backyard BBQ this weekend. They have the cutest house with a big yard, it was really fun! They grilled burgers up, and I made my signature Pasta Salad!

Step 1: Make a fun summery pasta…

Step 2: Dice up celery, carrots and black olives:
(Hint: I boil the carrots half way through so they’re not so crunchy)…

Step 3: Combine everything…

But after dinner, we had a fire and roasted S’Mores!

Remember a few weeks back, Irving surprised me with this?

Well we made them the other night for our friends, and dare I say they were pretty amazing. lol Or at least I thought so!!

It started out as a package, all ready to go:

It had Graham Cracker mix, Brownie mix, and of course, Marshmallows!

And Bake….. then later, add marshmallows and broil until they get gooey!
MMMmmm!

They were as delightfully messy as real s’mores and I thought they were pretty much the best thing Irving has ever bought for me. MMmm.
