S'more Bark for a pregnant friend!

One of my nearest and dearest friends is having a baby! I have known for several weeks but it is now public knowledge and I'm thrilled to be sharing the news! The day after I found out I had to go visit my girlfriend and feed her of course. That day she had her first Vietnamese tofu hoagie from Pho Street and she loved it! I have a thing about wanting to feed and bake for pregnant friends. I sure its because I know how much I loved eating tasty treats while I was expecting.

Miranda came to our house for the Fourth of July and was disappointed I did not make my ever so easy cracker toffee for our guests. To make up for that let down I have made her what I am calling S'more Bark! S'more bark is exactly like cracker toffee but I use graham crackers instead of saltines and of course add mini marshmallows on top.

S'more Bark

Preheat oven to 350 F

Line baking sheet with Tin foil

Place single layer of graham crackers on top of tinfoil

In small pan melt 1 cup butter with

1 cup brown sugar until smooth

Simmer till it starts to bubble.

Pour over crackers

Place tray in oven for 5 minutes

Remove tray from oven sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips evenly over crackers and toffee place tray back in oven for 1 minute.

Use rubber spatula to spread melted chocolate.

Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top.

Place tray back in oven for 1 minute.

Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumb for a cute touch. (Optional)

Place cooled tray in fridge or freezer to cool faster or cool at room temp for several hours.

Once cooled break toffee in large pieces and store in air tight container.

I have made this countless times using graham crackers or saltines. I have even made an Easter version using Peeps! It is always a hit. This is also pretty much the same recipe as my praline toffee except you do not add the chocolate chips on top.

Congratulations Miranda and Rich! I hope you enjoy your treat!

I did it, it's over and I feel fine!

Sunday was an amazing day that I will always remember! The week leading up to race was a rainy mess. We had threats of a hurricane hitting the coast and we were preparing for the worst. My biggest fear was that weather was going to cause the race to be canceled. The show went on and we had no rain on race day. The temps were cool and the sky was overcast as we pulled up to the race. The Blues Cruise 50K Trail Run accepts 400 runners, the event had nearly reached its capacity as the runners were gathering around the Day Use Pavilion at Blue Marsh anxiously awaiting the 8:30 AM start. I felt great. I was confident in my training but still a little nervous about running my longest distance to date. My goal for the day was to finish. My desired time for the race changed a number of times from when I first signed up for the event. My unrealistic expectation were dismissed while training when I realized how slow my pace got the further I was running on the trails. I was so grateful

50 Miles of Bliss!

I can not possibly put into words the exact feelings I had about crossing the finish line of the NorthFace Endurance Challenge in DC over the weekend. I trained long and hard for this event. I doubted myself over and over again during the weeks leading up to 4/28/18 but knew I had to give it a go. Driving down to DC the night before the race with my husband and friends I started to feel excited but my nerves were still high. I was thrilled that my husband and Kelly came down to support Miki and I as we attempted another 50 miler. Lets back track for a moment. In 2016 I trained for a 50 mile event that had a 14 hour cut off. The race was a total wash. It rained the entire week before the race and then the whole duration of the event. The trail conditions were so poor that it made running extremely difficult for me. I spent hours and hours walking a sliding in the mud. My attitude was terrible. I had such high hopes for that event and they were crushed by poor weather. I c
