My best friend, in an attempt to keep me up to date with current events, sent an email to me a few weeks ago. In this email she let me know that today, August 30th, is Toasted Marshmallow Day. To me, it seems like the perfect day for this holiday. It’s the end of summer, the temperature has soared into the upper 80s with lots of humidity, and a cookout with marshmallows is what is needed.
If you choose to celebrate this fine holiday and disregard your care of your dental implants, there are many options. You could go simple and take a small branch or skewer and toast a marshmallow over the campfire. However, for those of you with more diversified tastes, you could use that toasted marshmallow in a recipe. Though, being a hot day, we want to keep the recipes simple. Therefore, all of the toasted marshmallow recipes are for s’mores.
