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.

Peanuty Chickpeas & Rice

YUMMY!!

I have not poste anything for almost a week!! That is crazy. I really wanted to committ to this blog and post regularly with GOOD recipes not the last few I posted, they were good but not GOOD, if you know what I mean. I posted them because I needed to post something. However I should go back to quality not quantity.
I had a busy work week, taking a lot of extra shifts here and there (I work at Tim Hortons :) and trying to get some horse riding in as well. Not to forget my heifer (I show dairy cattle) I have been neglecting that poor animal.

(yup she looks like a beef cow!! she's fat!)but i love her anyways!

Me on my 3 year old gelding Major...He is such a cutie!!
Want to hear a funny story?
We were at a horse show (our first) and he has always walked in the trailer no probs except for when we wanted to leave! He stood in front of the trailer and wouldn't move. He did not kick, rear, paw, or go crazy. He just stood there....great. how were we going to get him home??
It took a team of us. Step by step we moved him into the trailer, he didn't move a muscle, we practically lifted a thousan pound animal  into the trailer. My horse (btw his name is Major) stayed calm and didn't try to kick the whole time. silly animals!

Ok, less talk about me and my animal stories lets get to food! (because after all that you got to be somewhat hungry!)

Looks incredible doesn't it?

Here is the recipe. Perfect for vegetarians!

Peanuty Chickpeas & Rice

• Half a 16oz can (so 8oz) of chickpeas ....or garbanzo beans...whatever you call them!
• 1/2 cup smooth low fat peanut butter
• 2 tbsp reduced sodium soya sauce
• 1 tbsp vegetable/olive oil (or ommitt for lower fat)
• 1 tbsp sugar or splenda (or ommitt for a salty not sweet version)
• 1 cup cooked rice (your choice of rice! I used regular white rice)
• about 1/2 cup warm water

Instructions
Combine all ingredients except for rice and beans in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil on medium heat. After it boils add any extra sugar, soya sauce, peanut butter to suit your taste. Add water if sauce gets really thick. Once it is up to your taste remove from heat.
Add cooked rice and beans and combine.
That' s all!
Enjoy!
