Maple Coffee Frosting


So I decided to try out TPW's Maple coffee frosting, and OMG. OMMMMGGG.

Just wow. On the cinnamon rolls, that is. INSANE.

Now I will say that I didn't make this whole recipe, b/c her cinnamon roll recipe has like 8C of flour, ie makes a TON, lol, and my bitty bread machine didn't make that many.

I was going to halve it, but I was unsure on the whole "bag of powdered sugar" thing, 16oz (half my bag) seemed like a LOT of powdered sugar, so I just halved everything else, and added powdered sugar til I got a thick but pourable consistancy and it tasted good ;) Sorry, I didn't measure, just poured. You really can't mess it up though.

TPW's Maple Coffee Frosting

1 bag of powdered sugar
2 teaspoons maple flavoring (didn't have this, just used maple syrup)
1/2 cup milk (i used cream)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup of brewed coffee (i used espresso)
Also add 1/8 teaspoon (a generous pinch) salt.

mix it up and pour it all over cinnamon rolls that are still warm. or cake, cookies, or just pour it in your mouth. whatever ;)

    I have been eyeing TPW's recipe for quite some time. I'm with you in not wanting 7 pans of rolls but the frosting recipe I can't pass up. (Maybe I'll do the whole recipe if I ever need to feed a room full of people). I've been wondering about a "bag of powdered sugar" too and trying to figure out what size bag she's referring too. I'm so glad I came across your post, I was nervous about halving it and winging it but I'll go for it since it worked for you! Thanks for the confidence boost! :)

Challenges

Prob one of the toughest part of Restoration Wellness program the past two weeks has been time management for meal Prep. So this week my goal is to focus on that. More meal Prep and less coming home so late bc football in Buffalo or bc of being at rehearsal for my shows and having to still make a whole dinner and then eating late. It’s messing w me making sure I’m done eating 3 hours before bed. So even though I have had a hard time w this, I’m still losing weight and doing great on the plan. But it’s important to fine tune things and be 100%!!! Work in progress over here. Meal prepped this morning for lunch and dinner 💪🏽

CousCous Lasagna

I've had this recipe hanging around since I was doing WW Core last year, and never got around to making it. Keith and Mairi both adore couscous, and we are trying to be more meatless, so tonight was the night. It was delish! I'm back on JC so I just had a couple try it bites, but for such a simple recipe, it blended together fabulously! It would taste good with some chicken in it too though :D CousCous Lasagna 1C couscous 1 1/2C boiling broth 1/2t salt 1T EVOO lg diced onion 3 garlic cloves minced 28oz can diced tomatoes, drained (reserve 1/3C of the juice) 1t dried basil 5C finely chopped spinach pepper 1C mozz. cheese Combine couscous and broth let stand 5 minutes preheat oven to 375 saute onion and garlic in EVOO add tomatoes, cook 10m stir mix into couscous add reserved juice, basil, pepper and spinach mix til combined spread half in a 9x13 pan sprinkle mozz top with more couscous cover and bake 30m
