Easy Meringue Frosting in Minutes From Scratch

By Leave a Comment

When visiting my grandma in Texas years and years ago, she wanted to make her neighbors a cake. But, she didn’t have any butter or powdered sugar. Within minutes she whipped up one of the lightest and fluffiest frostings I had ever had. I have been using her Easy Meringue Frosting in Minutes From Scratch ever since.

 

This is one of those recipes that become a “go to” in your recipe file. When you are crunched for time, out of powdered sugar or just want something unique for a special occasion-this is what you need.

Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

By 8 Comments

It has been years now that I have used ground turkey instead of beef. It can be a great way to save money with a large family.

Did you know that I have seven kids? To fill up all those bellies back then, I loved making my own slow cooker turkey chili. With so many spices to flavor the meat and beans, it is delish. So delicious in fact, that now my grandkids beg me to make it for them!

So, I bet you want the recipe right?  Well, you are in luck!  I would love to share it with you today.
