    I have to make cut-out cookies for a wedding and decorate them like penguins. Black icing is so hard to keep a true black. What type of icing would you recommend? Royal, quick pour, fondant or something else? And how do I keep the black as black as when I first make it? –Kathy

    Love "Nana's Banana Bread" and I wondered if I could substitute zucchini for the banana? Zucchini is a little more moist so I wasn't sure. Can I have your opinion? Thanks so much! -Deb

    Do you have a recipe that was popular in the 60's, it was a frozen fruit salad, using fruit cocktail & I think maybe cream cheese. It was something white & creamy, but not sweet. Mom would freeze it in the ice cubes tray. The kind with the removable lever cube divider. I believe she would serve on a lettuce leaf, maybe with a dab of mayo and a cherry. Thanks.
