2. <br />
3. You could use any type of dried dates - I had Tunisian Deglet Noor, so I used those, but you can use any plump pitted date.  It's worth buying pitted dates because I don't even know how hard it is to pit dates, but it's probably hard - plus there are already slits in the dates that make them easy to fill with the cream cheese.  This recipe makes more filling than you probably need, but that's because it makes more sense to use a whole brick of cream cheese than to shove a half of brick back in the fridge and forget about it until it molds.  I just used the extra spiced cream cheese on GF bagels.<br />

7. <ul>
8. <li>Dates - however many you need...I used about 20</li>
9. <li>1 brick of cream cheese, I used /3 less fat kind</li>
10. <li>cinnamon, to taste</li>
11. <li>honey, to taste</li>
12. <li>vanilla or vanilla sugar</li>
13. </ul>
14. Set the cream cheese out to soften while you prepare the dates.  I initially started using a paring knife to slit the dates, but then I realized that they already have a slit from being pitted, so I just started finding the slit and unrolling them from there.  After unrolling all of the dates, stir a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon and honey into the cream cheese by hand or mixer.  Add more to taste.  If using vanilla, stir a little of that in - maybe 1/4 teaspoon. <br />
15. <br />
16. Once the cream cheese mixture is to your liking, spoon it into a ziploc bag or frosting bag.  If using ziploc, push the cream cheese to one corner and squeeze out the extra air.  Snip off the tip of the ziploc and fill the dates with the cream cheese mixture.  It's that simple!  I sprinkled the tops with vanilla sugar so they wouldn't stick to the wax paper between the layers in the container.  Obviously you can use regular sugar too.  To make your own vanilla sugar, slit a vanilla pod lengthwise and stick it in a jar of sugar for a few weeks or longer.    <br />
17. <br />
18. Most of my coworkers have never had dates, or even heard of them, but they really liked these.  <br />

29. We managed to sleep at home on Friday night, but by the time I returned from my SIL's baby shower on Saturday, it was balls hot in the house.  No, I don't really know what "balls hot" means, I just tend to throw the word "balls" in front of the word hot (and old sometimes) - kind of in the place of "super".  I was staying at my friends' house anyway, since Lo was going to the Indy 500 and we have no idea whether I can manage to stay at home alone in a new house without freaking out.  Those who know me are aware of my "nighttime problems".  I'm not afraid of the dark, but I have crazy dreams and wake up with irrational fears.  They are often so irrational that I won't try to explain them out loud.  We had lots of security devices on the doors in the apartment just so I'd be able to reason with myself that whatever I think happened, wasn't possible.  Now that we have 1st floor windows and multiple doors, we didn't know how I'd be at night.  So far, so good - but no sense risking it while he was gone and the house was balls hot anyway.<br />
30. <br />
31. We were able to stay at our friends' house on Sunday too - they had a big party and were having brunch the next day, plus we have our own room there anyway.  Now that we live 10 minutes from them, versus 30, we didn't expect to be staying there much anymore, but thankfully they are always welcoming!<br />
32. <br />
33. Monday night we finally left their house, which I often refer to our vacation home because it feels like we're on vacation when we are there.  It was still pretty hot at home, but was getting cooler at night so we thought it may be ok.  It wasn't.  Instead of heading back to their place, we decided to pack our stuff for work and sleep in the apartment for one last night.  We'd left air mattresses and sleeping bags there just in case, plus it gave us a chance to do a little more cleaning before we had to turn in the keys this week. <br />
34. <br />
35. The air conditioning company came on Tuesday after work and fixed us right up.  The coolant was completely empty, but he didn't think there were any leaks, so we should be good now! <br />
36. <br />
37. Surprise repair #1 wasn't so bad - I think the total bill was $230 or something, which included a service plan in case it turns out that something else is wrong and they need to come back out. <br />
38. <br />
39. And now the air is cool....<br />

45. My friend was having a birthday and I wanted to make her a cake, gluten-free, of course!  I didn't want to make a super rich flour-less cake or try to mess with a bunch of types of gf flour, so I decided to make a Crispy Cakes!  I used Fruity Pebbles for one, and Cocoa Pebbles for another.  You can use Rice Krispies or any gluten-free crispy cereal. <br />
46. <br />
47. There are so many options for decorating these "cakes" and even people who aren't gluten-free will enjoy them.  Who doesn't like Crispy treats??<br />
48. <br />
49. I can't say that I had a favorite between the two cakes...they were so different.  Normally I would always choose chocolate, but Fruity Pebbles are SO good!  <br />

85. 1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.<br />
86. <br />2. Add cereal. Stir until well coated.<br /><br />3.
87. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into pan(s)* coated with cooking spray.<br />
88. <br />
89. *To make the layers, pour the mixture into different sized bowls and press down gently to level.  Don't press down too hard (like i did) because it will compact and crush the cereal, making the bars harder than they should be.<br />
90. <br />
91. My pans/bowls were a little too big, which made the layers thin, so I ended up making another third of a batch (1 tablespoon butter, 1 1/3 cups mini marshmallows, and 2 cups cereal).  Just multiply the recipe for how many you want to serve.  <br />
92. <br />
93. I piped canned vanilla frosting onto the Fruity Pebbles cake and used skittles and swedish fish to decorate.  I didn't have any frosting bags handy, so I just scooped the frosting into a ziploc bag and snipped off a corner.  <br />

103. For the Cocoa Pebbles cake, I added some peanut butter into the marshmallow-butter mixture before stirring in the cereal, and used peanut butter frosting that I had saved and froze from <a href="http://thatswhatwedid.blogspot.com/2012/04/gluten-free-easter-treats.html">this recipe</a>.  I decorated with M&M's and then drizzled dipping chocolate (Merkins) over the cake by pouring the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and snipping off a tiny corner.  There was leftover chocolate in the bag - I can't throw that away - so we drizzled the chocolate over some potato chips.  <br />

107. These were so good and are going to be my "go-to" cake - especially in the summer when I don't want to turn on the oven! <br />

138. <span style="font-size: small;">I was planning to make <a href="http://thatswhatwedid.blogspot.com/2012/03/banana-cupcakes-with-peanut-butter.html">Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting</a> for Easter again this year, and when I saw <a href="http://kitchensimplicity.com/three-no-bake-easter-treats/">these no-bake Easter treats</a>, I wanted to make these too.   I was converting the Cupcake Recipe to gluten-free this year, so I was nervous about the results.  They actually turned out pretty well - though they were a little flat and dense.  My favorite out of all of the treats were the Crisped Rice Treats - the side dipped in chocolate was amazing.  </span><br />
139. <br />
140. <span style="font-size: small;">I totally forgot to buy cupcake wrappers and didn't have any, so they looked a little naked.  </span><br />

160. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
161. <span style="font-size: small;">3/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt (lite

175. Frosting: </span></div>
176. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
177. <span style="font-size: small;">1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (more or less to preferred consistency)</span></div>
178. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
179. <span style="font-size: small;">4 oz cream
180. cheese, room temperature (I used neufchatel)</span></div>
181. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
182. <span style="font-size: small;">1/4 cup
183. unsalted butter, room temperature</span></div>

192. <span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
193. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
194. <span style="font-size: small;">For cupcakes: <br />
195. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking
196. soda, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Mash bananas with fork in another
197. medium bowl until smooth. Mix sour cream and vanilla into bananas. </span></div>
198. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
199. <span style="font-size: small;">Using electric mixer,
200. beat sugar and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
201. Add egg and egg yolk and beat until well blended. Add flour mixture in 3
202. additions alternately with banana-sour cream mixture in 2 additions, beginning
203. and ending with flour mixture and beating just until blended after each
204. addition. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups (generous 1/4 cup for each).
205. </span></div>
206. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
207. <span style="font-size: small;">Bake cupcakes until
208. tester inserted into center of each comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer
209. cupcakes to rack and let cool completely. </span></div>
210. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
211. <span style="font-size: small;">For frosting: <br />
212. Sift powdered sugar into large bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, and peanut
213. butter. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until smooth. If
214.  
215. it's too thin, you can stir in more sifted powdered sugar until you get
216. the right consistency.  If you use 1/3 less fat cream cheese, you may
217. need extra powdered sugar.  You'll want it to be able to hold a little
218. shape if you intend to make it look like a nest with the eggs.  Spread frosting over
219. top of cupcakes, dividing equally.  </span></div>
220. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
221. <span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
222. <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
223. <span style="font-size: small;">I
224. tried to make mine look like nests by spreading the icing on with a
225. knife and randomly pulling the knife up off of the frosting (does that
226. even make sense?) to create peaks.  If you want to make the frosting look even more like a nest, stir in some coconut so it looks like straw.  Place
227. the mini candy eggs in the "nest" of frosting before serving.  If you
228. are going to store these for more than a couple of hours, add the eggs at the last minute because the shell get a little soggy and weird.</span></div>

234. 1/4 cup butter<br />
235. 40 large marshmallows (5 cups mini or 250g)<br />
236. 1/2 tsp. vanilla<br />
237. 6 cups crispy rice cereal (I used <a href="http://www.naturespath.com/products/cereal?tid=5&brand=All&nutri=All">GF Koala Crisp</a>) <br />
238. Chocolate for dipping <br />
239. sprinkles or crushed m&m's <br />
240. <br />
241. Melt butter and marshmallows over low heat. Stir in vanilla. Remove
242. from heat and add cereal. Stir until equally incorporated.<br />
243. Using a greased 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out some of the mixture
244. and form into an egg. Set aside and repeat until all of the mixture has
245. been used up.  Dampen hands occasionally to keep from sticking.  <br />
246. Melt chocolate.<br />
247. Dip the tops into chocolate, then into sprinkles or crushed candy.  Store covered at room temperature for up to two days. Freeze for longer storage.<br />

393. I made these cupcakes to take into work near Easter last year, and not only were they adorable, they were SO good!  I had been craving peanut butter and banana (like Elvis), so I went on a recipe search.  The cake was nice and fluffy, but tasted like banana bread, which is what I was hoping for.  I just couldn't get over how cute they were with the mini eggs on top.  I did NOT make these gluten-free last year, because it was before I found out about my intolerance, but I intend to make these again and will just sub gluten-free all purpose flour for the regular flour.  I'll let you know how they turn out this year!<br />

530. I like to think of these cookies as "Cafeteria Cookies" because they were a staple at our school.  It always surprises me when people say have never had these (or seen these) before.  They are simple, delicious, and gluten-free (if you use <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TXT502/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=cbuscheap-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002TXT502">GF oats</a>).  I added M&M's, because I seem to be doing that to recipes lately - and I never said these were healthy. <br />
