Cake Donuts

 Frying donuts in canola oil

 Letting them rest 

 Glaze: simple powdered sugar icing

Recipe

I absolutely love my Better Homes and Garden cookbook. I found it at the goodwill bins for $2.00 and have used it often. If you are looking for cheap cook books that is the place for it! This recipe is time consuming, but definitely worth the effort. I did not have a donut cutter so I improvised with a mini mason jar for the donut and vanilla extract cap for the holes. Cooking is all about being innovative and and having fun. I also use it as a stress release, so take the time and try it out.

Homemade Sweet & Sour Chicken





I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was phenomenal. It tasted like it came straight from a chinese food restaurant, and cooking asian cuisine has never been my strong suit. Try this one out, it is surprisingly simple and delicious.

Triple Berry Dutch Baby



It's been a while since my last post. I started a new job in November and it has been keeping me busy! Now that I am more into the swing of things at work I have had more energy to cook. I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was fantastic. I had mixed berries in my freezer so that's what I used and I also substituted vanilla extract. Try it out this weekend, you won't regret it.
