Now I love s'mores. I love getting creative with s'mores too but that recipe is for another blog post. As for cupcakes it's super simple. All you need is to make your favorite chocolate cupcake batter. Box or from scratch or semi homemade- which I always do. Whatever works for you! When you pour batter into cupcake liner add a half piece of marshmallow in the center. Bake as normal. When done top with broken up graham crackers or just one. Cool, serve, enjoy!My sister who is staying away from sweets ate two! Yep, yum!

S'more Cupcakes The Easy Way
I haven't baked in a while and my sister's birthday is coming up so I figured would be a nice suprise to make her something. I didn't have frosting but figured I could just make it. As I am scooping the chocolate batter into the cupcake liners I look over and see graham crackers and it hits me: S'mores
Is It A Pear Or Apple: It's Both
I found this gem at the Westport Farmer's Market Yesterday. I was shopping with my sister before the little ones gym class and really wanted to get some more fruit for the house. Here's the funny thing about their markets: sometimes you find great deals and sometimes you don't. I saw these amazing blackberries and went to purchase them for $3 then heard someone said they were $5 and walked away. Now call me cheap but don't you think you will sell more if price was lower. Even by just a $1.
Now you can purchase a membership card. I think it's called "Friends Of The Market" and each vendor has a special discount for that but that's really only helpful for frequent shoppers.
I like to purchase stuff on my way out so I am not carrying so much. I stop at one stand and see amazing fruit. I asked the lady what type of pears they had. She started listing them off and then said Apple pears. I am sold I said. For $4 I got 6 of these and see even threw in 3 little pears for the kids to try. She was extremely nice.
So here's my apple pear. A hit with kids. Looks like an apple taste like a pear. I would go back and buy more. Very tastey and tricky on the brain since inside is like a pear and outside is shaped like an apple.
Come by and check it out. It takes place until November 3rd open10:00-2:00. Hint try not to arrive at 10. I did because our gym was at 10:30 but vendors were still setting up.

I Had An Amazing Summer...
Last night was open house at my daughter's school. I was really happy to meet the new principal and hear her mission and vision for the school. I love open house because you get to see the parents of the children in class with your child. You meet the teacher. See the classroom behind the scenes stuff you don't see when you are dropping off in the morning. One assignment the class did was write about what you did over the summer. I love how a couple things stood out for my daughter. Afterall I will admit it was a pretty awesome ️Summer and glad I am not the only one who believed so.
