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?

What are some of your Pinspired recipes?

Who Knew Working Out Could Be So Much Fun

Lately I've been totally inspired. I'm kinda weird when it comes to working out. It's really hard for me to get into it when I take time off but once I do, I actually really enjoy it. Like REALLY. One of new favorite blog reads is The Fitnessista. She seriously has me wanting to quit my job and be a fitness trainer. Check out her blog for training tips and healthy (delicious-looking) recipes!

Yesterday I mentioned that my sister and I were going to take a Zumba class...Well, we did and ohmygosh was it fun! It was really hard to keep up with the instructor and for a little minute there I was wondering when they were going to bring out the poles and 4" heels, but it was a blast! We had such a good time I think we are going back on Thursday. It's not an insanely hard workout, though we both thing that if we could actually have kept up with her, it would have been harder.

Tonight we are going to do either kickboxing or spin class. Not sure which one but I think it's going to be spin -- and maybe the ab class before it. 

Things are going full speed ahead on the house! We've scheduled the inspector and appraisal for next weekend and we close in 17 days! I can't believe it's so close! We are really excited to be our little city dwelling. We talked about buying in a suburb of Houston but realized we are SO not ready for that. We both really want to enjoy the city while we can and have both always wanted to live in this area. I'll be so excited once everything finally comes through. I'll be back up there Saturday morning so hopefully I can get some almost done pics of the house to post. 

I'm so excited for the weekend! We are finally having my cousin's graduation party so that will be so much fun! Is it sad that I'm wishing away the next few weeks of my life?

By the way -- thanks for all of your sweet comments yesterday. If you couldn't tell, I was so excited that it required a second posting in one day!

Girl Crush & Lucky or Just Mean?

It's been a busy couple of days! After work on Wednesday I went to get my nails done and the "spa" that I go to is pretty nice. It's not actually a spa, it's just a really nice nail salon. While I was there, this group of women came in and we (yes, that includes me, how friendly am I?!) started talking about celebrities we liked, mostly female. My two celebrity crushes? 
Amy Adams from Enchanted! Yes, I know she's in more than that, and call me crazy if you want, but I love that movie! She's so stinkin' cute!

And Isla Fischer! Even though I could not have been more disappointed in Confessions of a Shopaholic, I love her! Seriously, isn't she the cutest thing ever!? Apparently I have a thing for redheads! Haha! My Grams has reddish hair and I've always wanted red hair, maybe that's where it stems from. Plus, I wouldn't being as tiny as Isla...

Who is your girl crush?

Yesterday I hit the road to come over to Mississippi to see my honey. I hit up the drive as I often do whenever I'm on the road. There is something has been happening to way too frequently: I constantly get extra food! For instance, yesterday I went to Jack in the Box -- I love their chicken box -- I ordered a chicken box and a larger sprite. I get to the window, pay my $3 and pull away. I never look in the bag, ever. So, as I get on the road, I go to pull out my chicken box, and what do I find? A chicken box and piece of cheesecake! Hello, torture. Last time I went to J&B, I ordered the same thing, plus regular fries and I got what I ordered plus two burgers! However, I love the kids meals from Wendy's and last time I went there, I only got 3 nuggets instead of four! This is so not good luck for me because seriously, free cheesecake while I'm in the process of trying to look like Isla Fisher. This is just mean, right? 

Finally, my wonderful husband bought me a new, small, portable camera to carry around so that I can post more photos on my blog! Thank him, I did! So, that means, more pictures for all you ladies to see! My other, absolutely wonderful, camera is just so big, I can't take it everywhere! So, I'm off to get some work done and enjoy the weekend!

Enjoy the weekend, lovely ladies!

XOXO,

Stevy
