One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Burnt Butter Frosting

This is one of my favorite frosting recipes. It has a flavor unlike anything I have ever tasted. My husband does NOT like cakes at all. However, he will devour cake if it is topped with this. Very unique and hard to forget this flavor! I always like it on a yellow or white cake (9x13 inch size).

Burnt Butter Frosting
INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 cup butter

- 4 cups powdered sugar

- 4 Tbsp. milk

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS: Place the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is a nice tan color. If it gets dark brown or black you have allowed it to burn too long. When the butter has been "burned" remove the saucepan from heat. Slowly pour the powdered sugar and vanilla into the saucepan and beat on high until light and fluffy. Beat in the milk a tablespoon at a time until desired spreading consistency is achieved. Quickly spread onto the prepared cake, as this frosting will set up quickly.
