Simple and Delicious Buttercream Frosting
I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla buttercream frosting recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring, or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally, I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.
Cajun Blackened Catfish
This is a blackened catfish recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His friendly family welcomed me in many years ago, and we have swapped many Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.
Great Grandma Johns' Pasties
This recipe originated in Cornwall England, and was adapted by my Great Grandmother Johns. It was originally made for the coal miners and wrapped in butcher paper. The hard pastry shell would keep the juicy contents fresh until the miners were ready to eat. My Grandma would serve with relishes and Coca Cola. If you want to make these more quickly, you can use refrigerated pie crusts instead of the pastry recipe.
