Water icing
"This is my basic background icing when icing cookies. It tastes fantastic and gives wonderful results. For example I will use this for the red and orange background icing for Halloween cookies and then use royal icing for faces and more intricate detail. Originally from Gerhard Jenne."

This couldn't get any simpler. Tasted wonderful too. I used the fresh lime juice in mine, Tasted superb on the lime cookies I made. -
I thought this was a great icing. Incredibly simple to make, easy to adjust thickness or thinness - just add a little more sugar or a little more lemon juice. Tasted yummy (I thought) and gave me a wonderfully smooth, glassy finish when dried. I'd give 5 stars, except the boyfriend didn't like the taste at all, so it gets dinged for that. Thanks for sharing! -
I used this on a lemon bundt cake I made. Made the cake very pretty and a touch of extra sweetness. Just what I was looking for with no dairy! Thank you Missy!

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
