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.

Finally a Post!

Sorry!!
I haven't really baked or cooked anything worthwhile these past  couple of days and I did not want to bore you with any personal news/stories.
Today I made some really quick and easy food.
I rarely use recipes these days. I usually make up the recipe as I go or use a recipe as a really rough guideline and I usually end up changing all of it and making it my own.
Today I wanted something healthy for dinner ( I had a ginormous amount of French Vanilla Ice Cream today at my face ice cream shop in Hollyrood. $2 and you get a big bowl full!)
I made a vegetable curry soup and for dessert I made a cakey-cobbler type of dessert using up two frozen bananas.
Here are the recipes.

 (using my crappy no good camera)

Veggie Curry Soup

• 1 lb lean ground beef, salted & seasoned
• 1 onion
• 1 cup chopped green beans
• 1 cup chopped cabbage
• any other veggies you want!
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Bouillon cube
• 1 tsp-1tbsp Curry Powder

Roll meat into small meat balls & brown. Add onion. Transfer to soup pan (leave meat grease in frying pan)

Add other veggies and mix water with flour. Add to soup. It will act as a thickening  agent. Add bouillon and curry powder. Add any extra seasonings you would like.

& for dessert

Banana Anna

(catchy name?? it's not cake, it is not a cobbler nor a pudding. so what would you call it??)

• 2 large frozen bananas cut into pieces & placed on bottom of small baking pan
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/8-1/4 cup margarine melted
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg yolk or 1 egg

Mix all ingredients and pour over bananas. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.
