Buttercream Frosting
This is a buttercream frosting I normally put on birthday cakes. It's like the frosting that bakeries put on cakes, extra rich and creamy from the egg yolk, but I much prefer to make my own since I know what I am putting into it, and as always, homemade is best. Makes 2 1/2 cups or enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch layers.
Easy Frittata
I love to make a frittata with this classic combination of eggs, bacon and cheese but you can use whatever ingredients you have at hand. It is a wonderful dish to serve at brunch or lunch.
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
These jalapeño poppers are creamy in the middle with crispy bacon on the outside. They're super easy to make and taste so much better than traditional poppers.
