One of my favorite snacks when I got out with friends or a fun treat when any types of sports game is on is buffalo wings. I prefer boneless over the bone in kind because I'm not the biggest fan on making a mess, I am definitely more of a fork and knife kind of girl. However with the rise in the number of restaurants posting calories on their menus I probably won't be ordering them out anymore. I have bought the frozen kind from the supermarket but they just weren't up to snuff and of course I have tried making them in the past but again they just weren't quite right.
Luckily for me (and all of you) I don't give up so easily, so when my husband and I both happened to be craving wings one night I decided to give it another go. This time I did my homework first and researched a bunch of recipes on homemade wings before attempting to make them again. I probably checked out about ten or so recipes before even entering my kitchen, picking and choosing which advice I would use from each recipe until I came up with what I thought was a fool proof technique.

S'Mores Cake
I have a confession...I am obsessed with marshmallows, espeically chocolate covered ones so naturally s'mores are one of my favorite desserts. I have been drooling over various food blogs for months and their wide variety of s'mores desserts when I decided it was finally time to make one. It was Memorial Day weekend and my sister-in-law asked me to make a dessert for their bbq, I knew it was time to roll up my sleeves and dive into a s'mores dessert. I had a ton of potential desserts to choose from but when I saw Sweet Tooth's Giant S'More Cake I knew I had found my dessert.
The dessert was delicious, but a little on the heavy side for my taste. Next time I would use less flour in the graham cracker cake to make it a bit lighter. It was described as a cookie but it had a heavy almost dense cookie bar feel to it. It tasted delicious though. The recipe seems like it may be a bit daunting but it was ridiculously easy. The cake also produces a ton of servings, we had 8 adults and 3 kids at the bbq and we ate about half the cake.
