2 Ingredient Donuts

These are the BEST fried donuts ever. My dad used to make these when we were little and it was always exciting! Now, they are not healthy in any way, but the are delicious!

All you need is a tube of biscuits and some powdered sugar! (And a deep fryer or pan of oil.) Get your oil hot while you are cutting your biscuits!

 Ok, see that little grey thing at the bottom right of the pic, that is a cap from a 2L pop bottle, this is your little friend for making the hole!

 

 

Now most of the time I just cut the biscuits in fourths and make all donut bites, but sometimes it's fun to make real donuts! Once you have your biscuits cut and ready it's time to get your powdered sugar shaker ready! I have used a brown bag before or a tupperware bowl that has a good tight lid! 

 

Ok, now just put your biscuits in the hot oil and fry them babys up! You will need to flip them once to get both sides fried! 

 

Ok, now just take them out, put them in your powdered sugar, shake, shake, shake and BOOM- delicious, easy donuts!!! 

High Five for Friday

Ok, first link up, hope I'm doing this right!

All you do for this "link up" from From My Grey Desk is go over your week and choose your 5 favorite things! So lets see...

1) Monday Bible study with my "monday makeover" group. Love these girls, currently we are studying Crazy Love by Francis Chan.

2) My kids both had GREAT reports at their conferences this week. Smart, well behaved children are a blessing :)

3)I almost can't say this but I am thankful for the rain! I don't particularly enjoy rain but it's much better than SNOW! 

 

4) My mini donut maker is awesome! I found a great recipe that I posted about yesterday!

5)I found some copy cat leopard TOMS at a local store for only $15, they are not as nice as TOMS but they were cheap! :)

Donut Maker

I have a new toy that I got for Christmas and I LOVE it ! It's a mini donut maker!!! I have been using muffin/cake mixed mostly to make some cute tasty donuts but today I tried this recipe I found on Pinterest! It was yummy!!! It did take a little more time than the mixes but on days that we don't have anywhere to be right away I think it's totally worth it. Tonight I'm trying this chicken taco recipe also from Pinterest!  My dinner menu has expanded lately and sometimes it's for the better and other times not so much, but it's been fun trying new recipes!!! Do any of you have a donut maker?? What are some recipes you try?

9/11

10 years ago today I was 1 day overdue with my first baby. I was still in bed when Stephany called and told me to turn on the TV. We stayed on the phone and watched the news in disbelief all morning. I couldn't help but think how different the world would be for the child I was carrying. No longer did the feeling of "No one would dare take on the USA" exist. However, in the days and weeks following that day Americans patriotism was strong and we as a nation came together. So many people risked and lost their own lives that day to help others. We as a Nation did not give up. Instead we came together and prayed for our Nation, as we should have been doing all along! That is the lesson I hope my children take from 9/11. Yes, it's a different world these days but God is the same! He wants us to pray for our Nation today as strongly as we did on 9/12/01!

Extra curriculars....

Extra curricular activities mean NO EXTRA TIME! With soccer and dance in full swing now we have no free time. I shouldn't say NO free time b/c there is a little bit of downtime but I dont have time to cook a real meal on these days and I dont know why but I have mommy/wife guilt over this. Mondays are our free night so I make a meal and we eat at the table together on Mondays. I really believe in eating together as a family at the table as much as possible. Tuesdays we have soccer and dance and the timing just doesn't work for me to make a meal. It's grab and go and we aren't eating together because one kid has to eat before soccer while the other is still at dance and then she eats when we pick her up and while he's at soccer. If I feed them both before they would be eating dinner at 4:30pm or if we eat after we would be eating at 8:30pm and then still be trying to have time for showers and be in bed at a "normal" time! Wednesdays are our church night so we usually can eat something I make if it's fast but even then if I cook the hubs isn't usually home early enough to eat with us. We have been starting to meet him to eat somewhere before church so that's a good compromise. Thursdays we are back to the soccer/dance issue. Fridays are free days!!! We usually go out to eat on Fridays but when it gets into winter more we stay in a little more frequently during the weekends! So, now that you know our entire dinner hour schedule that you could careless about- what do you do for the time you have to make a quick meal? I am in a recipe rut and would LOVE more fast easy ideas. We dont eat fancy around here b/c even if I wanted to spend hours making dinner my kids wouldn't eat anything fancier than say, lasagna ? haha!

I Heart Faces....

Ok, I'm trying to find more "fulfilling" things to do with my time now that the kids are back in school. What better than a photo challenge! I found the site http://www.iheartfaces.com/ which gives you a theme to go with and the photo must have a face in it! So, I may not be posting this correctly but I'm giving it a shot!

My niece and her big beautiful eyes!
