This frosting recipe was the one my Grandma used on top of her oatmeal cake, spice cake, and banana nut cake. I also like it on a yellow or white cake. You do have to use at once because this does stiffen as it cools.

Grillades
Grillades is a warm and delicious way to use stew beef or chuck roast. I serve it with grits or white rice and crusty bread for dipping.
Double Chocolate Chip Macadamia Cookies
We love chocolate chip cookies at our house, and these are especially good!! I use a 1 inch scoop to form the cookies.
Corn Dip
This corn dip is a creamy, spicy, and refreshing appetizer made with Mexican-style corn. It tastes best served chilled. It's great with chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables. Exceptional with Hawaiian bread.
