Recipe for a SuperSib! “Blondie” (By SuperSib Sarah M.)
Ingredients:
Notes:
Directions:
  1. First begin with 3 gallons of golden sunshine, because SuperSibs! are vivacious people. Often times in the morning when most people are groggy, SuperSibs! are alert, smiling and talking about recent events. SuperSibs! are often excited by new things, because of all the new opportunities that are presented.
  2. Then add the tbsp. of Nutella. One of the great opportunities SuperSibs! have is to be part of an organization just for siblings of children with cancer. This makes SuperSibs! unique! By adding Nutella, a notable flavoring, SuperSibs! are original and one of a kind!
  3. While stirring the Nutella and the golden sunshine, slowly add ¾ cup of all purpose dedication flour. In addition to the dedication SuperSibs! have to their sick brother or sister, SuperSibs! are dedicated in everything they do. SuperSibs! are leaders and work very hard. They also channel their energy into their schoolwork. SuperSibs! have the determination to focus and complete their assignments.
  4. After all the flour is mixed in, take the ½ piece of compassion fruit and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Although SuperSibs! are very involved, their mission statement of life is to love others and show their love through their actions. SuperSibs! don’t have to be happy, lively people all the time. They have low points in their lives, too. However, SuperSibs! know that better days will come and hang in there until they do. SuperSibs! also want to feel that someone cares about them. They are constantly trying to look out for others, whether it is giving a compliment, giving a hug, or getting someone to laugh.
  5. Finally after all the batter is mixed, pour it into an oblong baking pan and place the pan in the oven for 17-18 minutes. Then, let them cool in the pan before cutting them into pieces. This desert is sure to be enjoyed by SuperSibs! everywhere!
