My mother used to make this seven-minute frosting without cream of tartar as a base before making her marshmallow frosting on some of her cakes. This makes enough to fill and frost an 8- or 9-inch cake with two layers.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 0.33 cups cold water
- 2 eggs whites
- 1.5 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

1
Beat sugar, water, egg whites, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler over rapidly boiling water with an electric mixer until well combined. Continue to beat while it cooks until frosting stands in peaks when the beater is raised, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in vanilla.

Avgolemono Soup
Avgolemono is a rich, silky, and comforting Greek soup made with chicken broth and Arborio rice, enriched with beaten eggs and lemon juice, that's amazingly delicious! I've made this epic Greek soup many times but this recipe is made from scratch with a whole chicken and homemade broth. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest.
Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce
Very flavorful and spicy. You'll never know this fettuccine with red bell pepper sauce is a healthy dish. You can also add some cut-up grilled chicken.
Low Fat Apple Bran Muffins
I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time.
