Buttercream Frosting
This is a great go-to frosting for cupcakes, cakes, and cookies. It’s a vegan twist on my lovely grand-mother’s Christmas cookie frosting. I practically camped out at the mailbox as a kid waiting for her cookies to come in the mail. A thin layer of this frosting can be used for decorating sugar cookies, too.
MAKES 1 ½ CUPS
2 cups (200 g) confectioners’ sugar
¼ cup (55 g) Earth Balance, at room temperature
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons almond milk
Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and the Earth Balance in a medium bowl until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and the almond milk and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

BITCH I LOVE: JACKIE WARNER
Jackie Warner is the busiest bitch I know. Between running her Beverly Hills-based sports medicine and fitness club, and starring in her own reality TV series on Bravo, I have no idea how the woman even finds time to sleep. And that’s just half her day. Tag on overseeing her own fitness apparel line, a workout DVD series, and a protein shake and energy-bar brand, and Jackie has somehow found a way to fit 72 hours into a 24-hour workday. And I thought I had my shit together.
But no matter how much you want to hate her, Jackie didn’t just get lucky. Success didn’t fall into her pretty little lap. She wasn’t just on the right treadmill at the right time. No, ladies. This success story can be credited
