Did you know?

 Did you know there is a Vanilla Bean Paste???

Use vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract anywhere you want the beans to shine.   I first heard about vanilla bean paste watching a morning tv program, where they used it in place of vanilla.  I wanted to try it and use it in recipes to jazz it up abit.  I love seeing and tasting those little black dots. I recently used my paste to make vanilla bean buttercream frosting.



 It tastes just like melted vanilla ice cream.
 
This frosting is so good over anything pumpkin.
