Growing up, I always wanted to have s’mores.  Unfortunately, we lived in the city where campfires and homemade s’mores in your yard is not totally possible.  Instead, I constantly melted marshmallows and drizzled them with chocolate syrup and had a graham cracker with it instead.

I always looked forward to traveling to the Keys where my uncle and aunt had a little fireplace where we could roast marshmallows and make s’mores on our own.  It didn’t happen often, but when it did, I was so excited.  I grew to love anything s’mores flavored…from Starbucks drinks to ice cream, I love s’mores drinks.  In fact, I love EVERYTHING s’mores. I think there might even be a s’mores cereal on the market. I mean, what is not to love about ooey, gooey marshmallows sandwiched between chocolate and graham crackers?

I love trying my hand at popular foods from other countries.  It’s fun to find things that represent another culture and country without leaving your home.  I think trying a recipe like this one gets you into the mindset of what it’s like to live in Poland.

For example, in Poland specialty food items like craft beers and food are staples in most households.  In fact, we Americans enjoy a lot of Polish inspired cuisine here on the homeland. They have an abundance of things like potatoes and use cream and other ingredients frequently.  This recipe represents that culture as it fills you up on common ingredients available from that part of the world. My grandpa is of Polish desent and he absolutely loved his pierogis. My grandmother learned how to make them from her mother and she also taught my mother who taught me 😉 Enjoy!

I had no idea zucchini could be this good! I guess I just loved it plain, sautéed or as mom used it up – in zucchini bread. I never once thought about putting it in a quiche. For starters I never really “made” a quiche of any kind. It sounds fancy, and in my mind fancy equates to difficult to make. Then I came across this one that was crustless and thought that may save time so I took a gander. Turns out it was a super simple process, crust or no crust. So I set out to make it for breakfast and planned to serve it up with some melon balls. What a perfect summer breakfast or brunch.

What’s cool about this dish is that even though it’s crustless it still has a crunchy top. I love that! That’s because the cheese gets a chance to bubble up and brown. How incredibly delicious.

Peach cobbler is the best cobbler in the world. I don’t care what you say or who you are you can’t deny it! I do enjoy other cobblers, very much so. However, being from the south I know and believe with all my heart that peach is the best. I love fresh peaches, and no one grows them up like us southerners. Lovingly peeled and sliced into this cobbler you’ll get to enjoy all the flavor and goodness they have to offer with that lightly sweet taste and unmistakable flavor that defines southern comfort food.

The first time I had Chicken Marsala was at a popular Italian restaurant. I’d filled up on breadsticks and salad and they brought out this amazing plate of chicken smothered in a white wine and mushroom sauce. The chicken was tender, the flavors were perfect and I was in love. Every time we went back, I got the same thing but made sure to go easy on the bread and salad because I wanted to eat it ALL. I loved it with a side of roasted, crunchy potatoes because I could dip them in the sauce, and I still make that side with this today – when I make it in the crock!
