If this difficult year has had you feeling a little nostalgic for the simpler times of childhood, you might be missing some of your favorite foods from back in the day that you’d have as school lunch or a special treat at camp. Well, good news for you: here are two recipes that will help you make a grown-up version of those exact same foods right at home!

Grown-Up Grilled Cheese

When you were little, you probably enjoyed your grilled cheese sandwiches so much that you never even stopped to think that you were probably getting them only because your parents could whip them up in two minutes and with only two ingredients. Well, if you’re craving that same comfort but with a bit more sophistication, this version from Martha Stewart is much better suited for an adult.

Grown-Up S’mores

S’mores never stop being delicious – not when you get home from camping and not when you grow up and your taste buds develop. But if you want to take the classic up a notch, you can try Eating Well’s version that includes rosemary, orange peel, and fresh raspberries for a more mature palate.
