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.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter , softened
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 eggs yolks , beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions

Cream butter until soft. Add salt and part of the sugar gradually, blending after each addition. Then add egg yolks and vanilla; blend well. Add remaining sugar, alternately with milk, until preferred consistency for spreading is reached, beating after each addition until smooth.

Gluten-Free Butter Crackers
My husband just hasn't found a good cracker since going gluten free, and he loved his butter crackers. I adapted this recipe from several different ones I found online. Now, I have to keep my kids, who don't follow a gluten-free diet, from eating them so that Dad will have some for the next day! These are not light and flaky, but the taste is there. And now, my husband can welcome back peanut butter and crackers, cheese and crackers, or plain crackers for nomming on into his life. Also, you can likely add seasonings like garlic or sprinkle with Parmesan instead of salt to kick things up a notch.

Blackened Tuna
This blackened tuna recipe is very simple but it's my favorite way to have tuna. Seared fish steaks are a Cajun tradition.
