Pinterest- Doughnuts (one)

 Holy Goodness, these should be illegal.  After my husband tried these, he proceeded to tell me how my cooking is so much better.  I was honest and told him it was because of pinterest. 

First you open up some Grands Biscuits. If you do not know these are also terrible for you, I mean super yummy.

Because I am totally classy, I got my holes using a shot glass.

Then you fry these bad boys up.  It only takes about a minute.  They say the oil should be a certain temperature.  Basically it needs to be hot enough that when the oil jumps out of the pot, IT HURTS!

Since I have an army of children I got smart.  I took the bigger doughnuts and cut them up.  Then I had a whole bunch of doughnuts.  However!!! The kids were just tricked into thinking three was allot.  Then I was tricked into thinking I was a good mother for serving my kids a horrible snack in moderation. 

I had a yogurt, because I am tired if being a chunky monkey (and or just having a flabby ass).  

Because it was already bad enough!! I then smothered them in cinnamon and sugar.

Seriously AMAZING!  

They taste like they are from a bakery.  Since we do not have a Dunkin Doughnuts or Krispy Kreme... this will satisfy and doughnut lover.

Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats... Delish!

     Steel cut oats are gross right? No!!!! They are so good!  You just have to cook them right.  I just recently saw a recipe for pumpkin pie slow cooker steel cut oats.  The deal is you put them on before bed and they are ready when you wake up.  The first two times I over cooked mine, but still amazing.  The recipe I am about to post serves my five monsters, myself and their is about four more people.  I should mention I ate the leftovers with the boys four days later... still delicious.

I just made another batch today but it has peaches and bananas.  As far as I know it is my own recipe so I will post that later.  I just want to make it again and see how it will be in a few days for leftovers.

Here is the link for the recipe.  Just go make it, you will love them.

Waffles

Since I am wrapping up my last two cherry blossom sessions.... yes still working like a mad woman on those.   I took a much needed break and made breakfast for the OMG... you need to leave the house NOW because the alarm didn't go off, or the I didn't go to bed till 3 am because I was working and didn't wake you up.  So it is always nice to have something I can toss in the oven or microwave in a hurry and shove the little monsters out the door.  

Then because they were so pretty I thought I would set up a fake studio in my kitchen... because now I have a kitchen with stellar lighting.  Okay not really but way better than my old kitchen.   I never really get good food photos because the little people are stealing the food before I can take it... or they are stalking me waiting impatiently for their food.  

Anywho... the two littlest monsters were outside.  

So to the waffles.  I saw this link on this Mom stocking up her freezer everyday for 30 days.  I can not find the feed to that post anywhere.  I subscribe to her facebook feed... just can not remember her name at all.   If I find it I will link it.  She had this idea to make home made waffles and freeze them.  This is not a new concept, but it was a good reminder to actually do it.  I think it was funny her idea was eight waffles.  I ended up with about 18 in total... two which I lost that afternoon to the little guys.

It was actually relaxing I was listing to this audio book and was laughing like crazy.

The mother in the article was saying how much she was able to accomplish in between each waffle and she was right.  I was able to unload and load the dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and pick up the kitchen.  Wow! If only everything was that productive and yummy.

The only thing I don't care for is the amount of room they take in my freezer.  

All in all it was a great afternoon!
