Delicious Treats!

First, let me begin this post by apologizing. I found this recipe on Pinterst, the blogger warned that it's addicting, yet I paid no mind.

I tried it, as will you; I became addicted, as will you.

Homemade Doughnuts!

These were incredibly delicious!

Here is what you need:

canned biscuits (anything BUT the flakey layer kind)

Melted butter in a shallow bowl(4 tbls per 8 biscuits give or take

Sugar & Cinnamon in a shallow bowl (Mixed together in your favorite proportions but adding too much sugar will make for a messy, messy doughnut)

Veggie oil to fill your pan up to about 1/2in or so.  

Here is what to do:

Heat up oil for a few minutes on medium heat
While it is heating up, cut holes in the donuts with a cookie cutter or some other circular object -- I found it easier just to cut circles with a knife. It was quick and easy and I got the right size.

When one side is golden brown, flip with tongs. When that side is golden remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined pan or plate.

When the donuts have cooled enough to handle...using your fingers dip one side in the melted butter, let the excess drip off, dip in cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Get it nice and coated. Flip over and repeat for the other side.

You can see here, the ones that are oddly shapped, I used a cutter, the perfect donut looking ones, I cut the center out with a knife.

I even made doughnut holes!

And Lainey got to enjoy some as well!

Enjoy, friends!

Pinspired

Ahh. Pinterest. It's like crack. I love it, I need it, I really don't know how I loved without it. 

Do you ever do any of the things you Pin? It's extremely rare that I do. But, that's all about to change!

I just left the grocery, where, for the first time I ever, I meal planned! 

I pulled some of my favorite Pins and decided to go for it! I'm super excited to share with you how they go! Tonight, we are having BBQ Chicken sandwiches since I've already pulled the stuff out, but tomorrow, it's on! 

I'm thinking of starting with this lovely dish.

Have you made this?

Chicken Spaghetti Ripoff

My aunt has always been a really good cook. Like the kind of woman who could go into the kitchen, pull stuff a pantry and throw together a fabulous meal. 

I am not that woman.

My aunt always made the best chicken spaghetti. It was one of my favorite meals! When I was in college I attempted to make it based off of what it looked like...And it actually came out pretty good.

Nothing like spaghetti, but really good! It's one of B's favorites, it's so easy to cook and best of all...it only requires one pot!

This is what we had for dinner last night so I thought I'd share the recipe with you all. 

1. Boil chicken (I use chicken strips because they boil really quickly and are easy to shred)

2. Remove the chicken from the pot and use the same water to boil your spaghetti noodles

3. Shred your chicken while you are waiting for the noodles to boil

4. Once the noodles are done, strain them.

5. In the same pot, combine noodles, shredded chicken, cream of mushroom and Rotel.

*I do this part differently every time! I usually use a can and a half of COM and one full can of Hot Rotel. We like ours spicy so I will typically take a second can of Rotel and drain the juice and just use the chunks.

6. Add in a handfull of shredded cheese...I use the Mexican mix. Because, let's face it, I am a little bit Mexican.

7. I usually serve it with garlic bread...B likes it with tortillas as well.

Enjoy!

 Don't forget about this!!

1 12 oz semi sweet chocolate morsels

1 12 oz white morsels

1 lb package of white almond bark (this is where the hammer comes in)

Pour peanuts in the crockpot

Add morsels and vanilla bark (make sure you beat the hell out of the almond bark - because you want to break it up into decent sized pieces so it will melt)
