Grilled S'mores!

Summer will be gone in less than a week.
And while I'm REALLY excited for Fall,
(Hello boots, scarves and sweaters!!!),
I'm going to miss a few things about Summer.

And one of those things is s'mores!

Of course you can make s'mores year-round,
but there's just something about the hot Summer months
that just make it perfect for s'more making!!!
I even started my Summer making them Memorial Day weekend at the beach.

Now if you're like me and crave s'more year round,
I have a super easy solution for you!
Having a nice bonfire to roast your marshmallow is nice,
but it's not a necessity for s'more making.

I bought a grill this Summer and was grilling everything possible.
I quickly realized I didn't need a bonfire to make s'more,
and could use my newly purchased grill instead.
You don't get the same effect as sitting around a fire, but they're just as tasty!!!

The Goods:
Large Marshmallows*
Chocolate Bars
Graham Crackers

*I purchased S'mores specific marshmallows with HIGH hopes,
but sadly they didn't roast as easily as regular large marshmallows.
The weight distribution seemed off or something.

Get all your ingredients prepped before starting to roast your marshmallows.

My grill has easily removable plates,
so I took them off to get closer to the flame.

Roast the marshmallows on a stick like usual.

Once your marshmallow is golden brown and gooey,
 sandwich between two graham crackers and some chocolate.

Take a bite of the deliciousness,
 getting marshmallow all over your face,
and enjoy this yummy treat!

Favorite Things To Do For 4th of July!

Happy Friday you guys!!!
I'm back today for another Friday Link Up!
This week, I'm linking up with THREE different groups.
Make sure to check them all out at the bottom of this post!

It seems my five favorites are all holiday weekend themed recently.
Last month I posted about my Five Favorite Memorial Day recipes.
And since it's now the Friday before the 4th of July, I'm posting about my
FIVE FAVORITE THINGS TO DO FOR 4TH OF JULY!

While watching fireworks seems pretty typical for 4th of July,
I'm shockingly NOT including that in my list today!
I'm still planning to go see them somewhere in Los Angeles
but wanted to talk about other fun things to do this holiday weekend!

ONE
It's been HOT in LA and I've been loving my pool.
It's forecast to be scorching this weekend,
 so you'll probably find me here at least once!

TWO
I prefer to cool off in the pool over going to the beach,
but I'll deal with the sand to see a sunset like the one above.
If you throw in a beach bonfire, I'll be there even faster!

THREE
Summer holiday long weekends and grilling just go hand in hand to me.
I have absolutely no clue what I'll be making on it just yet,
but you better believe at least one meal I make will be grilled this weekend!

FOUR
And you can't forget a festive dessert to round out your grilled meal!
I made this Fruit Pizza for my aunt's birthday AND 4th of July last year.
It's really that good and can easily be made ahead of time.

FIVE
Lastly, make a batch of seasonal cocktails like my Blackberry Whiskey Punch!
Depending on the number of people you'll be celebrating with,
the above recipe can easily be doubled or halved.

Hope you all have an amazing and safe 4th of July weekend!!!
