Slime

 

This morning we made slime. We followed loosely the recipe for Frozen Silly Putty . I went to search for glitter and of course found it AFTER we finished so we went without. 

 We used

• 1 bottle 4 oz of glue
• about half a cup of water
• 1/3 cup of HOT water
• several drops of pink/purple food coloring
• about 1/2 tsp of borax

 In the first bowl we mixed the half cup of water, glue and food coloring and in the second was the hot water and borax.

 Mix it all up, kind of slow at first and more and more. It thickens while sitting.

And we get slime! 

This will only last awhile before a ton of stuff gets mixed in and gets to become unusable.

Peanut butter cookies

Randy loves peanut butter. I mean he eats it straight out of the jar. I think its disgusting but its his thing. So occasionally he asks me to make his favorite cookies. So out comes the PB.

 I occasionally want to eat the cookies I may so I was forced to find a gluten free recipe. It is my favorite because it has 3 ingredients.

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
1 egg

Thats it. Mix it all together and pop it in the oven at 350 for about 10-12 min. As soon as they look done pull them out. They hold together nicely and store nicely.

Im thinking maybe our next batch throwing some M&Ms in there or chocolate chips. Or if you like original things you can sandwich jelly in between them.

Thankful Thursday- I got my cookies!!!

So. As you probably dont know I am on a gluten free diet. Not too bad for the most part. Makes quick lunches kind of difficult and have to be a little more creative. However if you want something sweet do not bother going to the store. You can not have any cookies or cakes. Unless you make them yourself.... So I found an awesome sugar cookie recipe online and tried it out. Pretty good I have to say. Plus if your kids prefer the gluten free stuff to their packaged stuff I think I found a winner.

 Ignore my messy kitchen.

 Some were a bit more crumbly than most but still edible.

 The new jar/pot thing I found at Salvation Army for $2. It was a steal and I could not turn it down.

Nasty inside of it (not washed yet) but I love all the compartments.
