Sour Cream Mini Donuts

Posted on by

Sour Cream Mini DonutsDid you all have a lovely long weekend? It was family day here in Alberta, and we celebrated with a birthday fondue for my sister-in-law. Chocolate fondue equals my kind of party. Not only was it a chocolate fondue party, but there was three chocolate flavors to choose from, White, Dark and Milk. Genius! We were all asked to bring dippers to share, so I brought the usual bananas, strawberries and marshmallows, but wanted something I thought nobody else would bring. At first I was thinking peanut butter cookies, then I thought it was the perfect opportunity to use my Betty Crocker Mini Donut Factory that I got for Christmas. It came with a little recipe booklet inside, which I used for this batch. It was a fun little fondue dipper, plus yummy on their own as well. The donuts were very easy to make, so I will be making many a donut in the future I’m sure!

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg

1. Blend ingredients together with hand mixer. Scoop a heaping Tablespoon into each donut cavity in your pre heated donut maker. Close lid, wait 3-4 minutes and remove with wooden or plastic spatula.

2. Cool, then eat and enjoy!

Sausage Potato Bake

Sausage and vegetable bakeIt’s Friday, time for the last recipe of the week. After 3 muffin recipes this week, I now give you this delectable savory dish that I found at one of my all-time favorite blogs Meal Planning 101! The thing I absolutely love about this recipe is it is a throw together meal that is super easy, plus you can just use whatever you have on hand. That is exactly what happened in our house, when something unexpected happened and I needed to come up with a dinner, unplanned! Gasp, this is very rare in our house as I make a meal plan every week and stick to it like glue. I must say after the ease and deliciousness of this meal, I will be keeping sausages in my freezer from now on, so thank you , thank you Kindra for the great idea! I am going to write the recipe using the veggies and spices that I used, but head on over to Kindra’s recipe here- Easy Roasted Vegetable and Sausage Bake to see a plethora of flavor combinations!

  • 6 medium potatoes, washed and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1/2 red onion cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini cut into chunks
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp. rosemary
  • kosher salt, and ground black pepper
  • 1 lb honey garlic sausage

1. Mix together potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini in 13×9 inch baking dish. Spread with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, plus all spices. Stir well so most of the veggies are coated. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.

2. Remove from oven and stir, top with sausages, brush remaining 1/2 Tbsp oil on sausages. Return to oven and bake for additional 25 minutes.

3. Eat and enjoy!

Sour Cream Chicken EnchiladasGood morning everybody! Today is the day that life gets back to normal around here. School is starting up again, and wouldn’t you know it, I have a cold. Now that really doesn’t make me that motivated to home school my kids, but I better get the ball rolling anyways. Not that they wouldn’t enjoy an extra day off, I am sure they would love it, but why postpone the inevitable. I had this cold all weekend, and let me tell you it made me kind of grumpy. I very rarely get sick, and I was super annoyed that it happened on the weekend when I had to miss fun things….like chocolate eating. Luckily I wasn’t sick when I made this delicious meal. It was so good! The original recipe comes over from Food.com. I found it on Pinterest!
