I started this blog...

as a way of compiling all my families favorite recipes all together in one place.
My daughter asked me if I would write down a certain something I make so
she has it when she grows up and has a family. I thought that was a good idea,
so I decided to combine all our favorites and make one big book. It will be a
work in progress and a way for me to ORGANIZE all the recipes stashed in
the cupboard. And I've realized, I like taking pictures of food!

Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Maple Buttercream Frosting

This recipe is for a donut maker. A healthier version than deep frying and I love, love, love my donut maker! Mix the batter and then it only takes about 3-4 minutes before you have a warm donut. Who wouldn't love that!
