July 4th Part 2
As someone who likes to entertain I'm always on the look out for little bits and pieces of extras to leave for my guests. At Christmas, B and I made green Rice Krispie treats, cut them out in Tree shapes and decorated them with stars on top and a few sprinkles, tied them up in little baggies and put them out on everyone's dinner plate; a little take home dessert. I picked that treat because it was easy for Blaire to assist me in doing. I had no idea they would be such a hit, but then again who doesn't love a Rice Krispie Treat? I will admit I make them with the healthier Brown Rice Krisps, but no one knows the difference. We did a batch at Easter, eggs fully decorated with sprinkles and frosting. Of course this means we are making a batch for the 4th! We've only begun decorating (we had to get more colors today seeing as red white and green doesn't scream 4th of July). I'm excited because I found food coloring markers! Usually I refuse to use food coloring in our food (unless it's the natural kind), but I'm intrigued and can't wait to try them later!
