Same blog, new look.

To my many two readers, if your confused, I am going for a new look on my blog and a new title.  I will still be posting many of the same things, crafts, home projects, cooking, and kid stuff, it just needed an overhaul!  To the few that do stop by, thanks for reading!

Its time to make the doughnuts.

In the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, Kathy Bates' character has a mini meltdown and says "I wish I had the courage to just get it over with and get really fat."  Love that line.  Welp, instead of the traditional lose weight resolution, I think I just might go the other way!  With the help of these beauties, it shouldn't take too long!

 

Biscuit Doughnuts

1 can of refrigerated biscuits

Oil for frying

Heat the oil over med to med high heat in a sauce pan.

Take a biscuit and poke a hole in it with your finger, making the doughnut shape.  Drop 2 biscuits at a time in the oil, and flip once brown, be sure not to over cook, they will burn fast.  Place fried doughnuts on a paper towel and then dip in icing.

Icing 

4 TBLS of melted butter

2 cups of powdered sugar

3 TBLS of milk

dash of salt

1 tsp of vanilla

whisk all ingredients together

if you like thinner icing, add a little more milk until you've reached desired consistency

You can also dip the doughnuts in cinnamon and sugar, but the icing is SOOOOO much better.

 This is a family tradition for my husband and his siblings, so I have to give them props.  It saddens me to think that all these years homemade doughnuts were within my reach, and I had no idea!  That's probably a good thing.

SNOW!!!

***Holy cow, I haven't posted since Halloween!  My life has been crazy, lots of things have happened over the past few months, most very hard and challenging, but some good too.  I am glad its a new year, I have much hope that this year will be much better than that last 2 have been for our family! 

Yesterday we had our first snow of the season and our 1st Snow Day, so I bundled everyone up and out we went to play!

They had so much fun, Ella lasted a whole hour, which amazed me!  She kept losing her balance and falling face first into the snow, after about the 10th time, she was done.  Can you tell by her face?

Benjamin was in heaven, he loves to be outside in any type of weather, but snow, snow is this boy's dream come true.

 

Noah had a good time too, but he was mostly concerned with clearing the sidewalk and the driveway for daddy.  He worked for almost 2 hours, he just wouldn't give up, I had to bribe him with hot chocolate and jelly beans to get him to come in!

Today we are on Snow Day #2, it got much much colder overnight, so we've spent the entire day watching movies on Netflix!

Happy Tuesday to everyone!
