I LOVE my mother’s recipe for cream cheese frosting……it is good for every kind of cookie, doughnut, cake or pastry! I used to buy some famous bundt cakes…..hmmm not anymore! This frosting is the best!

Here are the only ingredients you need….butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. I use clear vanilla to keep my frosting white.

Here is a printable recipe for you:

Is your carbon monoxide detector working? It is my understanding that most carbon monoxide detectors have a lifespan of only five years. You know, the one in the hallway or where ever you may have yours plugged into an outlet. Yes, we change the batteries when we see it flashing or beeping….please check out your detector to see if the manufacturer has a date to replace with a new CO detector. Mine says it has a five year expiration and to replace it statement after that time period. (more…)
