The best part of camping has nothing to do with being outside. Think back to the last time you slept in the woods and you will agree with me. Take away the mosquitoes, the unexpected rainstorms and going to the bathroom in the bushes and what's left? Not much you say? Well then you forgot the best part because nothing is more fun about camping than making s'mores. If you don't have time for camping anymore but melted chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers still sounds tempting, don't worry. We'll show you three ways to skip the great outdoors and cook up some s'mores in the comforts of your own home.A great way to cook s'mores indoors is to use the Casa Moda S'mores Maker.
It's a lot like cooking smores outdoors. The S'mores Maker replaces the campfire with a sterno and instead of passing around the bag of marshmallows, there are neat places to stack all of your ingredients. The Casa Moda S'mores Maker is great for those of us who are trying to set a mood. There are people who don't mind their guests digging in a box of graham crackers or standing over the oven with a fork. But if you're trying to create a warm and cozy environment and have an enjoyable evening, then the S'mores Maker is something to consider.The second way to make s'mores indoors is also the easiest.
With a microwave and about 30 seconds you could dig right into a delicious plate of these chocolaty marshmallow graham treats. With the same amount of time outside, you probably won't be digging into anything except maybe a hole in the ground to put your campfire. On a microwave safe dish, place a graham cracker, a piece of chocolate and a large marshmallow. Place another graham cracker on the dish to use as the top. The marshmallow will puff up while it's cooking so don't bother trying to make a sandwich at this point.
Cook for 30-45 seconds. Wait a few seconds while the marshmallow deflates, then place the second graham cracker on top like a sandwich. What could be easier than that?We saved the best way to make s'mores for last. Once you taste s'mores fondue, you'll be hooked on indoor s'mores. S'mores fondue puts all the messy ingredients in the fondue pot and then you dip the marshmallows.
Using a fondue pot eliminates the hot chocolate dripping in your hands and the graham cracker crumbs in your lap.S'mores Fondue1 Cup Mini MarshmallowsFull Sized Marshmallows (at least 20) for dipping2/3 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs1/2 Cup Evaporated Milk3/4 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate ChipsOver low flame, heat mini marshmallows and evaporated milk while stirring until melted (DO NOT BOIL)Slowly add chocolate chips while stirringSlowly add graham cracker crumbs while stirringKeep stirring until mixture becomes smoothNo matter which method you choose to prepare them, S'mores are a delcious way to spend an evening. They're easy to make, taste great and bring back great memories. You can't go wrong with S'mores. Even if you do feel the need to venture outdoors, don't forget to bring the marshmallows, chocolate and grahams..

I gotta confess: I'm completely addicted to crisps. Any kind is fine. Don't mind the flavor - they all taste fine. My resolve weakens every time I think about chomping into one. Feeling the crunch, hearing the crackle, and getting that first taste of its tangy flavor.
Bliss - and if you are into crisps then you probably wish you had a packet right now - probably a big one.But maybe crisps aren't your thing. Probably there's another food that lures you into the refrigerator or the pantry cabinet. I can think of a few more that do it for me. Milk chocolate, do-nuts, crispy pies....and the list goes on. I have no doubt that you probably have a list of your own - right.
According to one study, 97% of women (compared to 68% of men) experience cravings on food.So how do you control these urges that pull you away from your diet plan and down the temporary joy of self-indulgence? I researched on the topic to give you what some experts advise on how to enjoy that art called eating...

For the Love of Chocolate
For the Love of Chocolate.Almost everyone loves chocolate. In a recent study conducted by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association, chocolate was ranked as America's favorite flavor. Of course, the love of chocolate is not unique to modern society. As far back as 2000 years ago, the Mayans created a drink from crushed cocoa beans and referred to chocolate as "food of the gods."Chocolate might even be good for us! Some medical studies have indicated some health benefits associated with eating chocolate. According to Larry Graham, president of the American Cocoa Research Institute (ACRI), chocolate is very high in antioxidants.
In fact, it contains one of the highest levels of antioxidant compounds that can be found in any food and may reduce the risk for coronary heart disease.
