Grill 3 S'mores at a Time on Camp Fire, BBQ or Fireplace Review & Giveaway, Ends 9/18/13

This is a compensated post

If you live in the U.S. chances are more likely than not that you've enjoyed a S'more or two at some point in your life. I know I most definitely have -- I grew up with this quintessential American summertime sweet BBQ dessert treat consisting of a piece of chocolate and brown toasted marshmallow sandwiched between two graham crackers. Today my kids love that warm, ooey gooey melted goodness and I must admit, I never out grew them either.

Graham crackers are toasted on these S'mores, MommyBlogExpert.com

Good thing there's a clever gadget called Camper's S'mores Grill by Coghlan's that makes it possible to cook up three S'mores at the same time. What's different about these is that you hold the assembled s'mores over a heat source, until the graham crackers are nicely browned on both sides. This is great for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to take on camping trips and for veteran campers to make S'mores over an open fire while out in the woods, of course. But it works just as well over the family backyard BBQ or hibachi, which is the way we tested this out at our house.

Just consider some of the delicious Coghlan's recipes that come with the grill that you can make with a graham cracker base

• Traditional S'mores with marshamallows (or fluff) and chocolate squares
• Peanut Butter S'mores with marshmallows and Peanut Butter Cups
• Banana S'mores with sliced banana, chocolate and marshamallows
• Lots of other recipes are included with the product

The chrome plated steel  hand-held grill has an overall length of 29" and is sturdily built. With it's 17" long handle to provide a safe distance from heat it is specially designed with three grated sections and a sliding lock ring clamp to keep those tasty dessert sandwiches secure while heating and flipping them.

I haven't try it yet, but this might even be fun to use this tool in the fireplace over the holidays to make s'mores with seasonal things like crushed candy, chocolate and marshallows. The grates are close enough that you could probably roast chestnuts indoors, too. So this grill doesn't have to be limited to summer use, if you are creative, you can cook with it year-round.

5 Reasons for Kids USA Roadtrip With Your Family - Travel that's Enriching & Affordable

Travel

Seeing America by car, especially with kids, can give your entire family the most precious opportunities to bond and to create memories that will last a lifetime. I know by personal experience this is true, since one of the favorite things we've done as a family is taken road trips wandering the byways of our great country from sea to shining sea with my own children for weeks at a time.

My kids at kitschy Gatorland in Orlando, FL, MommyBlogExpert.com

Blogger and domestic travel expert Alisa Abecassis, mom of three teenagers, is a kindred spirit of mine -- having taken her own kids on 14 road trips in the last 10 years covering 42 states. Alisa points out that following the recent closings of nearly two dozen U.S. embassies on three continents this might be the best time ever to stay Stateside for your next family vacation. 

So in this post I couldn't be happier to share Alisa's top five reasons why it’s best to think about keeping your travels within U.S. Borders right now.

Alisa Abecassis, Image from ExploreAll50.com

Safety
At the risk of sounding paranoid, the world is so unstable right now. Travel to Mexico you run the risk of being kidnapped and held for ransom by a drug cartel. Take a trip to China and you might get severe food poisoning. Fly over to Europe -- there have been too many terrorist bombs and threats in Spain and France. For the moment, at least, none of these places are as safe as staying here in the USA.

Money
Sure, places like Australia and New Zealand may be safer than others, but it’s ridiculously expensive. Despite the long and pricey airplane ride, Aussies come to the states in high numbers, in part, because it’s so much cheaper to vacation here. Have a taste for something different? Travel to Honolulu, Anchorage, the Florida Keys, or other exotic regional areas and you'll not only have a great time, you'll be helping to support our national and state economies.

History
Consider all the turmoil happening around the globe and contrast it with the peace, stability, wealth and tolerance America has. Americans all enjoy such vast freedoms and rights, but sadly, too many citizens don’t fully appreciate or learn about our own history. What could be better than actually reliving history with your kids through a trip to places like Philadelphia, Gettysburg or Washington, D.C. ? 

Convenience
Let’s face it – Americans like convenience. Global travel not only poses great logistical challenges (visas, customs, passports, etc.) which can easily become a nightmare. There are also other things that one much contend with like currency exchanges and language barriers just to name a few. On the other hand, you can take a long weekend or extended vacation and travel anywhere in the States without having to struggle with language or major cultural differences. 

Global Influences Here at Home
If you still have a hankering for doing something global, those influences can be found all across the USA -- one of the greastest cultural melting pots in the world. We are a country of immigrants from many lands. For example you can get a taste for the food and customs of Latin America in places like Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. You can learn about Scandinavia in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and about Europe in New York, Illinois and Louisiana, just to name a few. You won’t need your passport or have to endure the obligatory hassle from customs – all you'll need is open mind about your own country.

“The world is an amazing place," concludes Alisa, "but it’s not always a friendly one. There is so much to explore right here at home, and you don’t have to worry about terrorist attacks, political unrest, or losing your passport."

Creative Kids School Lunch Ideas Giveaway

Easy Fun Lunches

Inspo, Ralphs Coupons, Giftcard To Win

MBE partnered with Ralphs Grocery Store for this post

Note: Make sure you're following @MommyBlogExpert on Pinterest. You're going to want to see all of my ideas pinned on MBE's Creative School Lunches Ideas Pinterest Board. 

As regular readers know I shop at Ralphs regularly not only because of what they sell but also because of their fuel points rewards program. Now that summer is coming to a close, all too quickly, it's time to think about back to school lunch ideas for your kids. 

My 4 kids have always loved strawberries

My go-to place for all the makings of a fun, healthy and appetizing lunch is Ralphs market where I find just about everything convenient and affordable, from bread to peanut butter and jelly, to cheese and yogurt, to healthy snacks and fresh fruit and vegetables. The challenge is to make those ingredients into meals that cost less than $3 each that my kids will actually eat and not trade with their friends.

Get ready to start Pinning!

Scroll down for some creative and whimsical Pinterest Trade Worthy Kids Lunch Ideas for moms to really play with food -- most taking just a few minutes to prepare for your own children this school year.

MommyBlogExpert.com

Cookie Cutter Cheese Shapes

I made these with the Tillamook Cheese I buy at Ralphs because my kids are addicted to it. In fact, I purchase 4-6 bars at a time so we never run out. You make these by first slicing the cheese thinly crosswise, then use small cookie cutters to cut out shapes and letters. You can do any theme (the zoo is what I did here) and pop a plastic animal or palm tree in with this when you put it in your child's lunchbox.

Berry Plate for my family

Berry Fresh Assortment

This is really easy to do. Just choose berries (or other types of fruit, either whole or cut-up) in the same color scheme and then arrange in groups either on a colorful plastic plate, as pictured and then cover tightly with plastic wrap to hold it in place. You can also pack these into a colorful plastic container with lid that they can take to school. The key is to make this mini platter REALLY colorful to whet your child's appetite for some nutritious fresh fruit.

Ricecake Peanut Butter, Jelly With Love Note

Peanut Butter and Jelly Rice Cakes With Love Note

Who says that PB&J has to always be served on white bread? Instead, try taking those two classic foods and spreading them on some Lundberg Brown Organic Rice Cakes from Ralphs. Then add a little note (either pre-printed or hand written) to show your love and pop it all in a sandwich bag. Kids really like things that are crunchy, sweet and salty and this is all three, plus they'll surely appreciate the special message you enclose with it.

MBE's Fall Decorated Sugar Cookies

Hand Decorated Fall Theme Sugar Cookies

For these cookies I used the Ethel's Sugar Cookie recipe from my vintage 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook, along with Wilton's Royal Icing recipe -- but any favorite recipes will work. Then I took different leaf, acorn, pumpkin and other fall-theme cookie cutters to cut these out. Go to town decorating these after they're baked with the royal icing and your choice of sprinkles and then watch the smiles on your child's face.

Frozen Yogurt Treats by MBE

Frozen Yogurt Treats

For those of you who are lucky enough to homeschool, like we did, your options for creating fun lunches are even wider because you can serve hot, chilled and frozen foods. I made these sweet desserts for my kids with Mountain High Yogurt I bought at Ralphs. Then I filled fun shaped cookie cutters with yogurt, added some raw oats, raisins, sprinkles and red hot mini candies to bling them out and froze them for a few hours. These are such a blast to make and your kids -- even traditional school children -- might want to help create these for a delicious after school snack, too.
