Semi-Homemade Sprinkled Donuts

I LOVE donuts, I mean who doesn't? Well when planning Britts baby sprinkle I looked on Pinterest, other blogs, and websites for ideas. A lot of them had a few of the same ideas. My favorite was the sprinkled donuts. (Of course) so I knew that was one thing I had to do.  

Our family has always made semi-homemade donuts using biscuits and sugar. So I decided to go that route. And if you want to make some here's what you'll need.  

-canned biscuits (2 or more cans depending on what you're needing) 

-a tub of icing (we used white) 

-sprinkles

-vegetable oil

 

1. You take out the biscuits from the can and punch a hole out in the middle of each on. A bottle cap works great for this step. 

2. Heat your oil in a frying pan to medium heat. 

3. Then fry your donuts (and donut holes) to golden brown. 

4. When they are done lay them on a plate that has a paper towel over it to soak up the dripping oil. 

5. Next, heat your icing (In the microwave) so it's a little runny. Start out on 15-20 seconds. But don't heat too long or it can make it taste funny. 

6. Then drizzle the icing over the donuts and sprinkle on as many sprinkles as you want!

When my icing completely dried I put them in small treat bags. I added a "thank you" note and set them out for guests to take as they left.

If you wanna make the sugar version of these donuts, start out the same way. After you fry them let them cool on the plate for just a few seconds and then throw them into a bag of sugar. Shake the donut around in the bag until it is lightly covered in sugar. Then set it on a plate. And repeat that until you have all the biscuits made. It's simple, yummy, and you should try it! xo, Sky

It's A Baby Sprinkle!

Yesterday we had a baby sprinkle for Sophie! If you are confused right now, let me explain. A baby sprinkle is like a baby shower only smaller. Usually by the second baby you have most of the essentials and only need diapers, wipes, and a few outfits. So instead of having a big shower you have a sprinkle instead.  

We just invited close family and friends. We had some sweets and played fun games! Over all it was a wonderful, small gathering to show Brittnee and Sophie how much we care! Here are some pictures from the day!

We're Still Here!

Hey y'all! We know it seems like we've dropped off the face of the Earth, but we're still here! We are finally settling into our new house. And still trying to get everything normal again so please bear with us while we get completely settled. We are hoping to get back on our daily blogging schedule in the next few weeks. Until then enjoy these adorable pictures from some of our random adventures. :)

Eureka Springs, AR

My parents rented a house near Eureka Springs, AR (it was called Holiday Island). They stayed all last week and the rest of us came down this past weekend. Brittnee, Jake, and Noah were supposed to come down but due to the change in moving date they couldn't. Yes, they moved while I went on vacation. (I know I'm a terrible person) I felt bad at first, but I quickly got over it. :) 

Anyway, if you are looking for a little getaway this town is perfect. There is a lot of cute shops, good resturaunts, and awesome, old historic houses. It's a small, tourist town but it's not crowded like a lot of places I've been for vacation. Also it's so beautiful and relaxing to be there, especially out on the water. Here's some pics to show you what I mean!
