She Works Hard For Her Money & A Recipe

Long time no blog!

Did I ever mention that I have a full time job?  The kind outside of being a mom?

I do.

And it has been keeping me very busy lately.

I've been away from this blog for several days now.

The verdict?

I missed it.

A lot.

I don't even know if many people read this little slice of Blogland but I've missed it.

So I'm back.

With a recipe!

Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting.

A-Yum.

So so so easy.

 So, here's what you'll need.

Yes, (for those of you who know how much I love to bake) I do bake with box mixes at times.

For shame.

:)

1 Stick of butter

4 Cups of confectioner's sugar

2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

Milk

Creamy Peanut Butter

 The oil and eggs in the picture?

For the brownies.

 I love this brand. Good stuff.

So, you'll want to get out your mixer, AKA "too noisy", and mix 1 stick of room temperature butter with the whisk attachment.

Add 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and mix again until creamy.

Add 4 cups confectioner's sugar 1 cup at a time, getting the consistancy creamy

between each cup addition.

After about the 3rd cup of sugar, you'll want to add some milk because your frosting will be quite dry.

Add a little dash of milk at a time while mixing so it becomes creamy again.

Too runny? Add more confectioner's sugar.

Too dry? Add more milk.

Easy.

That's your basic Buttercream Recipe.

What I love about this is you can build on this.

For these brownies I simply added tablespoon fulls of creamy peanut butter to taste.

Dude.

So good.

 See?

Happy Monday!
