How do you like your S'mores?

I'm visiting the family in Des Moines, IA and I found the go-to bakery cafe in town - La Mie (http://www.lamiebakery.com/). They have a wonderful selection of pastries and fresh bread as well as a solid menu for lunch and dinner.

Yesterday I tried their take on s'mores. It was very good, but the chocolate to marshmallow to graham cracker ratio fell in favor of a rich chocolate & walnut layer. It was almost too much. I do prefer a bit more marshmallow. Tasty none-the-less. It's true nothing beats the traditional s'mores, but I like trying new creative variations on the original.

What's your preference?

What foods do you crave in the winter?

Today is the first day of winter,but we're no strangers to cold temperatures. Seattle has been unusually cold at times.

When the temperature drops I crave warm, hearty dishes. Soup is at the top list. I'm eager to make a Ribollita soup - white cannellini beans mixed with tomato, veggies, toasty bread and Parmesan all on one bowl.

How about you? What are you craving?
