This is a fantastic frosting recipe, for many reasons. First of all, it is delicious. After that, it is super easy, super quick, it takes no special ingredients, it is pretty to look at and it is very versatile. It is a classic.

In a large bowl, put two egg whites, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon of almond extract...set aside.
.
In a saucepan, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, dash of salt and 1/3 cup of water. Cook and stir until it just comes to a boil and sugar dissolves.

WOO HOO

Orzo Pasta Salad
Prep Time: 15 Min Cook Time:10 Min Ready In:55 Min
Yield 4 servings

Ingredients
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes 1/2 cup boiling water 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 lemon, juiced and zested 1/2 cup kalamata olives 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Place the sun-dried tomatoes into the boiling water in a bowl, and let stand for 10 minutes to plump up. Drain off excess water.
Toss the cooked orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, olives, parsley, and feta cheese together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
