The Best D*** Frosting Everr!

Wow, I really have been slacking off! It has been forever since I posted a post. How aweful of me!
School is about to start, just one day left to enjoy.
I will be going into grade 11, I am excited!
This year I am going to get homework done on time & have some fun too!
Cross country will start right away and soon skating will start as well.
I will have to balance school, a job, riding my horse and skating!!!
I'll let you know how that goes....
Anyways, I have been super busy.
Aren't we always??

Helmet a little big???

I just wanted to share a recipe with you that I fell in LOVE with!!

I hate frosting!!! why? it's overpoweringly sweet & I hate the taste of icing sugar.

Here is an easy light & creamy frosting recipe :)

Not healthy tho...but so tasty!

THE BEST DAMN FROSTING EVERR!

http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/thate28099s-the-best-frosting-ie28099ve-ever-had/

5 Tablespoons Flour

1 cup Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 cup Butter

1 cup Granulated Sugar (not Powdered Sugar!)

In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. You want it to be very thick, thicker than cake mix, more like a brownie mix is. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. (If I’m in a hurry, I place the saucepan over ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) It must be completely cool before you use it in the next step. Stir in vanilla.
While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You don’t want any sugar graininess left. Then add the completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat the living daylights out of it. If it looks separated, you haven’t beaten it enough! Beat it until it all combines and resembles whipped cream.

(It is so FRIGGIN YUMMY!! I actually ate it out of the bowl with a spoon....lol )

Update>> I have been working  a lot at Tim Hortons & riding my horse, so I am not sitting on my but all day...
I have been snacking and snacking like crazy!!! & eating way tooo much vanilla ice cream. Once school starts that should change.

Sweet Strawberry Davelish Dessert!

Home Grown Strawberries Magically turn into....

THIS!

Which morphs into.......

YUM!

Again, I though of this recipe by myself.
How did I come up with it?
I love cake & pudding, I had left over strawberries and I wanted something quick and easy and somewhat healthy.
I used radio pudding as a basis for my recipe.
For the syrup I cut the sugar in half and use white sugar (except I found it to be a bit too sweet so I lowered the amount in the recipe below)
only used 1 tsp margarine instead of a chunk of butter.
I kept the water the same amount.
I lined a 8 by 8 pan with about 1-2 cups of thawed strawberries (I froze ones from my garden, thawed them in the microwave and they become mushy but that's perfect for this recipe. I did not cut up the strawberries)
I poured the syrup on top and then made the cake recipe which I modified a little. Then baked in the oven.
Here's the recipe

Sweet Strawberry Davelish Dessert

• 1-2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen ( amount depends on how much you want)
• ** you can use other fruit such as blueberries, cherries, cranberries etc. or a combination of fruits

Spread them in a 8 by 8 square pan

for syrup

• 1/4 and 2 tbsp sugar ( i do not reccomend a sugar substitute such as splenda because it needs to become syrup, thick an sticky.
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp margarine or butter or ommit

Combine all ingredients and boil for about a minute or two then pour on top of strawberries

for cake

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk (i used 2% but feel free to use any kind of milk or vegan milk.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder

Combine and pour onto strawberries & syrup

--) Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes (until ready depends on how you want it, gooey or not)

Then....enjoy!
I served in wine glasses with some whipped cream :)
I already lowered the sugar content from when I made it, but feel free to experiment using less, if you like less sweetness then go for it!
