homemade donuts!

I got a huge craving for donuts the other day so decided to just make some!
I found a great recipe at http://allrecipes.com/
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/crispy-and-creamy-doughnuts/detail.aspx

Have you ever used all recipes? I love it because you can adjust the serving size & it changes the recipe for you! so easy and perfect when you're cooking for 2!
This recipe for donuts makes 18, so I cut it in half and only made 9 (which made 10) and they turned out so amazingly delicious, but takes quite a bit of time for the dough to rise not only once, but twice!


this is after the dough rose in the bowl, and then I cut them out to let them rise some more!



my makeshift deep fryer :) I also baked a couple of the donuts to see the difference but they didn't turn out nearly as good.... duh! grease & fat tastes better!


I glazed some using the glaze recipe on allrecipes.com and rolled others in sugar

If you have a couple hours to devote to donuts on a Saturday afternoon I highly recommend this recipe!

oatmeal cream pies

tonight I got a craving for oatmeal cream pies
and since I'm in Grenada I can't just run down to the grocery to buy them. no Little Debbie's on the island :(
so I looked up a recipe and luckily this lady over at Craving Chronicles had the same craving!!

delicious!!
the filling isn't exactly the same, but it's close enough
I'll probably work on tweaking it.
of course I didn't actually have marshmallow creme so I made my own from regular marshmallows.
