Vanilla Almond Spiced French Toast
Spiced French toast is a must for those who like it sweet and super flavorful!
Delicious Popcorn Crunch
Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.
Egg-Free Royal Icing
This easy royal icing recipe dries shiny and hard! Add more or less milk based on how thick you want your icing. You can replace the almond extract with any flavor you prefer. Add food coloring of your choice.
