::Salivating::

As Labor Day approaches, I'm planning what to bring for a camping trip with friends. I love to cook for a crowd, so I take my dinner responsibilities very seriously. I think the man is going to whip up some of my great aunt's taverns (sloppy joes, white castles, depending on your location in Iowa) to serve. He does a pretty great job on them, so I'll allow it. Our recipe involves a can of Campbell's chicken gumbo (random, I know), and I'll post it some time if I think you deserve it.

I'm also going to whip up some crispy caramel marshmallows for snacking. My mother in law makes these as part of her holiday cookie spread (again, ::salivating::) and they are always something that I tend to go for first.

Behold:

Also looking ahead towards the SC football tailgates this fall, I'm looking for something to have for the non-Homecoming games (as that one is the blow-out shin dig) and again went back to my midwestern roots for-Taco-In-A-Bag. This was served at just about every sporting event my brother and I were ever part of. It's easy. It's delish. And it's a crowd pleaser. A friend just came across a blog detailing it:

Yum! Can't wait for the season to begin!
