"Ice Cream" FrostingI have made this many times and have had positive reactions, especially when people are told it is made with flour. It is easy to make; costs little and is pleasing to the taste. Use of creamed fruits makes it even more delightful.. It is labor saving. It is great used on cupcakes also . |

Easy Prep BBQ SauceI'm experimenting with low-cost, easy to make bbq sauces, and like this one a lot. It's basic and you can add things to it like Tabasco, celery seed, etc. I calculated the cost of the ingredients at $2.40, making a 1/4 cup serving cost about 28 cents. Makes enough for 8-9 guests.. |

Favorite Jam Bars for a Large GroupMost people make these with raspberry jam, but any one works. I like blackberry or apricot. This makes a lot of squares, but they will disappear. Cut recipe in half, if you're not baking for a large group, and use a 9x9 pan. |
