Minion S’mores
Kiddo and I have been hanging out the last few days. I needed to take some time away from the website and regroup. We decided to have some girls time. Four whole days of no dad and no interruptions. I felt inspired and created a few healthy recipes while we hung out. I didn’t get all stressed about the dslr camera and just used my iPhone 6 Plus. I just upgraded my 5, so I’m loving the new camera on it.
Kiddo was helping me with some product reviews for our fairy garden and we decided to take a little break and go check out the new Minion movie.
We laughed and had a great time along with others in the theater. We’ve seen Despicable Me more times than I can even remember. Sometimes I think Mr. YUM is a bigger fan than kiddo and I. We received the blue ray set when it came out. The blue ray disc is in the living room and the normal dvd is in kiddo’s room. We have Despicable Me 2 as well.
I’ll admit, since we don’t have cable I didn’t see any trailers for Minions. I had no idea really what the movie was about. I was worried that I wouldn’t really “get it” but I am happy to report that I totally get it now and for those who may be like me and wondering why there is a whole move just about the Minions, well…it’s the prequel to Despicable Me. In this movie we learned all about where Minions came from and how they came to serve various masters – none of which worked out. Then, they meet Scarlet who leads them on quite an adventure. When things with Scarlet go another direction, they cross paths with Gru. And then, you know the rest of the story.
We had such a great time we were inspired by these Minion S’mores! #yumeating #nomnom
The best part is, even though their are quite a few directions – they are super easy to make!

This is the face of a little girl who likes to play in the dirt and ashes instead of helping with the building of our outdoor campfire s’mores. I had planned on getting some photos of all the fun, but I was too busy enjoying my treat 😉
