S'mores Recipes

Today is the last day of IGGPPCamp (which you can read about here) and in celebration of it I made a couple of s'mores recipes recently.

A recipe for S'mores French Toast was shared on the IGGPPC blog a few days ago. You can find the recipe here. I unfortunately wasn't able to join in the bake-along for it yesterday so I made the french toast the other day when both Adam and myself were off work.


Holy crap, it's incredible! If you like s'mores and french toast please do yourself a favour and try this recipe out!


The second recipe I made was a s'mores dip. I shared the recipe on the IGGPPC blog today. You can check out the recipe here. It was incredibly easy to make and so good!



Did you participate in any #IGGPPCamp activities this past weekend? As usual it was super fun and it's a little sad that it's over for the year.

Summer Camp: IGGPPCamp 2016

Tomorrow marks the start of our third annual Summer Camp over at International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club. It's one of my favourite things about summer and I'm excited to participate in some activities, read all the forum activities, and jump into some watch-alongs and bake-alongs.


From the 18th-22nd there are tons of activities happening, new blog posts going up on the site, and forum activities to participate in. If you're looking for something fun to try this weekend, head to the camp handbook to check all the details out.


I made up a yummy s'mores-related recipe for camp and once my post goes live, I'll definitely share the recipe. I also plan on trying out the s'mores french toast recipe that will be happening on Sunday too.

S'mores Day

Today is National S'mores Day and to celebrate I rounded up some easy to make s'mores recipes that look and sound incredible!


1. Peanut Butter S'mores Cookie Pie
2. S'mores Hot Chocolate
3. S'mores Baked Donuts
4. S'mores Cupcakes

All of these recipes seem super easy to try and that hot chocolate just might be happening tonight. I have two other s'mores recipes to try over the next couple of weeks for the IGGPPC Summer Camp so I'll be sure to share those recipes and how they turned out once they've been made and eaten!

What's your favourite s'mores recipe?

Everyday Cosplay

As you know, I'm not one to dabble much in cosplay. I admire it and sometimes I wish I had the motivation to get into it. But overall, I focus too much of my energy elsewhere.

I have tried Everyday Cosplay/Casual Cosplay before and it's fun to find an outfit in my closet that works. For IGGPPCamp, they had a Closet Cosplay Challenge which I wanted to give a try and I was successful in finding an Everyday Cosplay look to fit each day.


Day 1: Ariel from The Little Mermaid


Day 2: Violet from The Incredibles


Day 3: Jubilee from The X-Men


Day 4: Wonder Woman


Day 5: Bender from Futurama


Day 6: Rafiki from The Lion King


I had a lot of fun putting these outfits together and I'm excited to try out more Everyday Cosplay looks.

S'mores Cookie Bars

Tomorrow marks the last day of camp and it's bittersweet. IGGPPCamp has been so much fun so far and the activities have been great.

This past Saturday we had a bake-along and made S'mores Cookie Bars which turned out super yummy! I have to thank Danni for getting everything together and doing an awesome job hosting the live hangout!


S'mores Cookie Bars:
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cups flour
1 package dark chocolate chips (you can use semi sweet or milk chocolate)
1 cups mini marshmallows
3 regular sized Hershey bars, broken (I used leftover Belgian milk chocolate)
2 packages graham crackers, broken into squares

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cream butter and sugars together and then add in vanilla and egg.
3. In a separate bowl sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Mix the dry ingredients with the butter/sugar mixture.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
6. Lay out the graham crackers on the baking sheet to cover the whole pan.
7. Place balls of dough over the graham crackers.
8. Bake for 5 minutes.
9. Press Hershey’s chunks into the cookie dough. Bake for 5-7 minutes more.
10. Wait until the pan is cool to cut into squares.
I had a bit of leftover cookie dough so I decided to make some regular cookies with it and, oh man, they're so good! You can't go wrong with gooey marshmallows in a chocolate chip cookie.
Remember, a lot of the camp activities can be done at any time! So even though tomorrow is the last day of camp, you can still enjoy all the videos, DIYs, and activities. Check out the schedule here.

IGGPPCamp

Tomorrow is the first day of IGGPPCamp - our second Summer Camp at International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club! Last Summer we put on our first Summer Camp and it was so much fun and quite the success so we decided to put it on yearly.

This year it runs August 13th-18th and there's so many great activities happening! The details can be found in the Camp Handbook here.


I'll be doing the S'mores Cookie Bars bake-along Saturday evening! No surprise right?! I'm excited for it and to eat them! But seriously, there's some super fun things planned for camp. I'm really looking forward to Comic Book Boot Camp, Blanket Fort Challenge, Camp Cocktails, the Feminism 101 video, and all the craft and photo challenges!

There were Camp Kits being sold prior to camp and let me tell you, they're so awesome and are filled with the best things. I think it represents IGGPPCamp perfectly.







So definitely swing by IGGPPC between the 13th-18th for IGGPPCamp activities and fun times!
