We are planning an Amazing Race party with her friends for when it gets warm out. So stay tuned for that. Should be quite a thing.
She requested spaghetti, spinach salad, and mountain dew. That, my friend, I can most definitely do. She got to pick out a new bike. It's currently unridden because she is quite exasperated that it is taller than her last one and feels slightly different when you try to get on. Oh girlie, its good to see that even though we are creeping up on double digits, some things stay the same.
Despite this being the norm around here...
...Riv was still so excited to give her a Blingles set.
And Sage was still thrilled to unwrap all the mini-snickers for her birthday cookies...
Speaking of....
These are some of the tastiest gluten free cookies I have found to date. They are the right kind of soft, tasty, and easy! Here you go....
1 c. margarine
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/2 c. gluten-free flour (I used my standby mix. See here)
48 mini snickers
Cream together the margarine, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix in the vanilla, eggs, and milk. Mix in the soda, salt, and flour. Wrap a glob of dough around a mini snickers. Yes, a glob. I found this to be easiest if I got my hands a little wet. Place on a well-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 11 minutes. Let cool slightly on the pan and then move to a mat to cool. Makes 4 dozen.
They don't look like much, but they taste like MUCH! You can top them with sprinkles if you're in the birthday mood.
