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.

First Green Beans of the Garden

Hello everyone :)
Yesterday I picked the first green beans from the garden this summer!!
What is more healthier than home grown veggies? Nothing!
You know that they are not sprayed with who knows what and that they do not have some kind of presevative on them.
So what did I make??

This is the most decent picture I could take before my camera went all broken on me!
I just grabbed some ingredients and made up the recipe as I went but boyyyy was it yummy!!
Also, it is perfect if you are avoiding using oil, this recipes does not use oil but stock to cook the veggies, this way actually adds flavour!
It is also perfect to use up any left over pasta you may have!
What do I call it??

Green Beans with Pasta (yup real original! jk I just want a name that actually tells you what the dish is)

• 1/2-3/4 chicken stock  as needed(or I use warm water with a bouillon cube)
• Pepper to taste
• About 4 servings of pre-cooked pasta, any kind you want. I cooked it so its nice and soft
• About 4 cups green beans cut into 1 inch pieces
• Orange & Green peppers (add as much as you like)
• Couple swiss chard leaves to fill you up & add nutrients
• About a cup finely chopped Cabbage
• ** you can add celery, carrots, onions, corn, peas, etc. This dish is versatile & you can use any veggies you need to use up or have in your fridge or are on sale.
• ** you can add basil, thyme etc any spices that you like as well

Instructions~~~
On medium-high heat, cook beans with the stock until almost all cooked then add the rest of the ingredients.
Done!!!
That was easy & quick!!

Look out for more easy & delicious recipes posts!!
