Homemade Doughnuts

This is the best thing since sliced bread (not that I was around before it wasn't sliced but you get the idea)! Homemade doughnuts, I don't know why I didn't blog about this before! It's very very simple, too--no need to get out flour, eggs, etc.

Ingredients/Supplies
  • Pillsbury buttermilk canned biscuits
  • Vegetable oil
  • Frying pan
  • Fork to turn doughnuts with in frying pan
  • Soda cap to cut out doughnuts
  • Plate to put doughnuts on
  • Powdered sugar (fill in one ziplock bag)
  • Brown sugar/cinnamon (fill in one ziplock bag)
 The collage on the right is the order in which this works: open up your buttermilk biscuits, using a cutting board or anything flat, take the top from a soda bottle (I took the top from a vanilla bottle) and you simply punch out the middle like I did, next you fill your frying pan with vegetable oil, put the stove on medium-high heat (watch out for splatters--that stuff hurts) and then you take your cut out doughnuts and put them in the pan, in a matter of a few seconds flip them over, they'll look golden brown. We're you're done (and don't forget the doughnut holes either) grab two ziplock bags. We like our doughnuts with powdered sugar and brown sugar/cinnamon, but you can also use icing mix or any other item you like your doughnuts covered in. Put a doughnut or two in the bag of your choice at a time and then shake it up, take it out and voila! You're very own homemade doughnut! Enjoy!

Day 2 of Prayer: Good Work

Philippians 1:3-6 

"3 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus"

Father, 
Yesterday I said you are good and you still are and always will be. You have a perfect will and the perfect plan. I am blessed, so very blessed, that this pregnancy is part of Your will. That I have the chance to have this child growing in me and to have such a supportive husband and loving family. It is my hope that you Lord would have Adam and I lead our children as You would have us lead, that we may look to you always and remember Your will. As we continue to share who you are throughout the world and what your Son has done on the cross, it also my prayer that our little one would be part of this "good work," too. Please continue to order our steps and let us  remember that you God always complete what you began for you will not be mocked by men or Satan.
Amen 

**Next day here**
