This Crisco frosting is quick and easy to make, bright white for cake decorating, and you can easily change its consistency. This is the most important icing recipe you'll ever have. It's so basic; it makes the hassle of cake decorating so much easier. If you wish, use half shortening and half unsalted butter.

- 1 teaspoon clear imitation vanilla extract

I love this kale Caesar salad made with lovely dark green kale leaves and a homemade Caesar salad dressing that's easy to make in minutes in a blender. Sprinkle croutons and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top, and it's ready to serve!
Sweet and Mild Cooked Tomato Salsa
When fresh tomatoes from my garden start ripening faster than I can eat them fresh, I make this salsa. I modified the recipe to match my taste for sweet salsa with just a bit of zip. I freeze peeled tomatoes so that I can have the garden-fresh taste in winter, too.
