Skillet Corn

1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 green or red pepper, diced (optional)
1 bag frozen corn
1 T. cumin
2 t. chili powder
2 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1/8 t. cayenne pepper

In a large skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add onion and optional peppers. Cook until onion is translucent. Add corn and seasonings. Cook, stirring often, until the corn begins to get just slightly crisp. The seasonings can easily be adjusted to taste.

Confectioner's Frosting

3 C. confectioner's sugar
1 T. light corn syrup
2 T. butter or margarine, softened
3 T. hot water

In a small mixing bowl, beat together sugar, corn syrup, butter and water until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add more water drop by drop. This will make a glaze-type frosting that isn't too thick. It's also a good decoration for cookies.
