Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We had a nice warm weekend and spent lots of time outside. This afternoon we took a hike through the forest with the boys. It was actually a really good activity for Jackson because we all had to walk slowly to avoid branches and roots under the leaves on the path. He didn’t feel left behind, not being able to run. The boys were in their all boy element.

“shhh. listen it’s a bird”…little nature observers

Our Sunday afternoon cooking project of the week was cinnamon sugar donuts. Easy, peasy, cheap and the kids loved them! I remember seeing them on a blog a few years ago but I don’t have a clue where I saw them. So I am by no means taking credit but thought I would share.

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

1 roll of pillsbury (or any brand) biscuits. Look for the buttermilk or something other than flaky…the flaky ones taste like butter and flaky donuts are a bit strange. Store brand worked just fine.

1 cup of granulated sugar

1-2 T Cinnamon to taste

Unroll dough and poke a hole in the middle or cut out a small circle of dough for mini’s. If they are super thick cut them into two so that you have two thinner rounds. Drop into a shallow layer of hot vegetable oil a couple at a time, turn over when golden brown. When both sides are puffed up and golden take out of oil and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy!

and look at this little blast from the past…this pic was taken when we made the donuts in Bern. Jackson has grown up so much!
