Chocolate Ganache S'mores

A new twist on s'mores you can make any time of year!
Chocolate Ganache S'mores -  
A new twist on s'mores! Who doesn't like s'mores? I don't know of anyone! The only problem with s'mores is you need a campfire to make them. This limits how often you can enjoy the chocolaty, sticky deliciousness a s'more offers.

Until NOW! In the spirit of full disclosure I do have to admit I wasn't a fan of this recipe at first, but the day after I made it I fell in LOVE! It just needed a night in the fridge to let all the flavors mingle. I highly suggest you make this up a day ahead and then serve it at room temperature the following day.

After I made this recipe I thought it might be better with those cute little mini-marshmallows, but I quickly changed my mind. I think this makes a much nicer presentation! Did I mention how EASY this is to make? SUPER easy! Kids of ALL ages will enjoy.

*TIP:  Be sure to watch it closely under the broiler. Remember when broiling you always leave your oven door ajar.  Brown them to your liking and then remove.

Meatballs

This right here is an easy Meatball recipe, y'all! Every time I serve these meatballs to some poor unsuspecting soul, I always have to smile when they inevitably say, "Wow, these are really good!" or something with the same sentiment. I can't help but think to myself, "did you think I was going to serve you bad meatballs?" haha
Meatballs | by Life Tastes Good are the best and easiest homemade meatballs you'll ever eat!! #Italian #Baked #Homemade

Red Sauce

Red Sauce | by Life Tastes Good | This is my go-to red sauce I use in a variety of recipes. I love how easy it is to make! #Marinara #Italian #Spaghetti
This is my go-to Red Sauce I use in a variety of recipes, but always for spaghetti and meatballs.

I love how easy this sauce is to make! It uses canned tomatoes, fresh herbs, and loads of heavenly garlic. Everything gets tossed into the slow cooker and cooks all day. The house always smells amazing on Red Sauce day! No slow cooker? No problemo! This sauce can also be made in a large pot on the stove-top with good results!

I prefer using fresh instead of dried herbs in this recipe. If you have the dried and want to use them, no worries, it will still be yummy.  The fresh herbs take it to a new level, so I highly suggest them! I know, I know! You don't want to do all the chopping, right? I completely understand. I used to feel the same way, but now that I chop ALL! THE! TIME! I've gotten pretty quick at it, and it actually is very therapeutic.
