Monday again?!?!

Most of you are probably thinking, Kelli is blogging again?!?! We thought she gave up since it's been like 3 weeks.  Well.....done with my rotation so I will hopefully have more time to keep updating this, and to keep trying new recipes to give to you!

Since I have missed a few weeks, I will present to you TWO recipes! crazy, eh?  I'm feeling generous today, so just go with it :)

My first recipe- DONUTS!  and they are easy! not healthy, but easy!

Ingredients:
vegetable oil/canola oil
1 tube of refrigerated biscuits- like Grands, but NO flaky layers!!!
butter, melted
sugar/cinnamon mixed to your liking!

Steps:
-heat oil in a deep skillet
-take biscuits out and cut a small circle in the middle of each (I used a circle about 2/3 of an inch in diameter, use however big or small you'd like!

-once oil is heated, carefully put the biscuits in the oil & fry (warned you they aren't healthy!)
-cook til one side is browned, and using tongs flip the donut to cook the other side
--->note: my oil got a little too hot, so the outsides of the donuts would be brown, but the middle wasn't cooked....so just consider having the oil not SUPER hot, or your donuts will be looking really dark

-remove from oil and place some melted butter on the donut, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
--->ok, so I thought I'd save the extra 25 calories and not dip the donuts in the butter and instead just sprinkle cinnamon/sugar when they were fresh out of the fryer, but the sugar didn't really stick......



I topped mine with chocolate frosting & apple pie filling-which was my favorite (yes people, I thought the fruit was better than CHOCOLATE! crazy, huh?).  They would probably be tasty with a powdered sugar/milk glaze too.

ENJOY :)  It's a monday, splurge a little for some calories to get you through the day!
