Icing (Cream Cheese!)
That’ll make about two cups of icing… if you double it’ll be just a little less than a 900 grams margarine container (this is quite a lot).
Blend together: 1 package (about 8 ounces / 250 g) of cream cheese + 1/4 c. butter + 1 c. of icing sugar + 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Le tour est joué.
Honey Substitute
If you find yourself with a chicken to cook and it’s labour day, so the grocery store is closed and you desire to make honey garlic chicken… but have no honey (or money), what do you do? At first I thought I’d just “omit” the honey in the recipe. But my roomate opened her grandma’s recipe book to find a substitute for honey. Here’s the recipe to make 1 c. of “honey”:
1 1/4 c. sugar + 1/4 c. water (well, it said “liquid”). Mix them up and you’ve got “honey”.
It for sure doesn’t taste like it, but it does the job on honey garlic chicken!
