There are some nights where s’mores, wine, and popcorn are dinner. Last night was one of those nights and I have no complaints. I met up with the Tone It Up girls again for a bonfire night. The fire took a little while to get started, but in the meantime, the wine kept us quite happy. And once we got the fire roaring, the s’mores were flowing!
I’ve been seriously craving some s’mores recently with all of the posts about s’mores cookies, ice cream, etc. so this was way past due! And there may or may not have been a second.. with banana. If only I could say this cured the craving. I think now I just want more! But it’s all about balanace, right? So that’s why I have a super healthy salad post today. Chococolate, marshmallows, and black beans.. why not?

I don’t know how strange it is, but it certainly is good!
Food for Thought
Have you had banana s’mores before?
What’s your favorite s’mores combo?
YES to balance!!! S’mores and salad sounds like my kind of balance, too :). Looks delicious!
I’m thinking I should balance with s’mores more often 😉
I’m proud of you for getting out there despite my encouragement to do the opposite 😛 glad you had fun! And that black bean salad looks like the one that my mom makes. So good.
Woot woot! It was so fun and the salad is so good 🙂
I’m still stuck on those s’mores – YUM!
Dude. Me. Too.
I am all about balance in life!!! Yum to this salad!!!
