My Favorite Frosting Recipe: 1 cup palm shortening 4 cups powdered sugar (use corn-free, if needed) splash or two of dairy-free milk Place all ingredients in mixing bowl & mix until desired consistency, add more milk if you need to.

Sometimes the easiest recipes are easily forgotten about. Actually, we never even ate Sloppy Joes growing up.
