Did everyone enjoy their 4th of July? Ours was very low-key. With the husband working, I headed with the kids to a friend's house. The kids ran all day long and us moms held babies and just hung out. I even left the two older ones there for a sleepover!
So I have been enjoying a bit of....freedom....shall we say.
I'm loving it.
Okay, the holiday is over but lets face it, we're all a bit tired from the fun festivities, but yet still want to indulge a bit. Right?
These doughnuts are for you!
And these are baked, not fried, which in turn equals healthy. Ahem....maybe not, but who cares! Diets can start tomorrow.
I had a little girl sitting on the counter "helping" me with these, so I have confidence that you can make them in your firecracker-too-much-beer-lack-of-sleep hangover.
Let's start baking!
And tell me do you prefer "donut" or "doughnut". I prefer the latter. I mean, you can't have a doughnut without "dough" right?
