Pumpkin spiced glazed donuts

I found this recipe on Pinterest. Of course. It made delicious donuts.
Pillsbury Grands Pumpkin Doughnuts
I used the Pillsbury flakey layers jr biscuits. The glaze in the recipe was too thick, like a ball. So I added 1/3 cup of milk and it made it perfect. Plus now I have some left over for later. Oh, and the 4 cups of powdered surge r is a whole box of regular sized powders sugar.

I flattened my biscuits out which helped and made them perfect. Then I used a tall shot glass that I had sprayed with non-stick spray to cut out the holes, which I also fried and glazed.

I found that frying the donuts until they were LIGHT golden brown made them perfect. If you get them until they're a slightly darker golden brown it makes them more like crullers.

Then after I glazed them I left them to dry a bit on a cooking rack that I had set up over a cookie sheet that had wax paper on is so the drippings would fall on the paper and not the cookie sheet.

Adding buttons

If you're wondering how I added the Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pintrest buttons I found a how-to page that explained how to do it all and provided the code!
Here is the website that I got the code from.

VootBeer

I made a Root Beer cocktail by splitting a 50ml bottle of Absolut Vanilla vodka and bottle of A&W Root beer between my mom and I. It was a nice smooth, sweet drink.

Missing photos

I just realized a lot of my photos are missing from my blog. So, once I find them on my old computer I will update those blogs.

Vegetarian crock-pot recipes

It's very hard to find a list of vegetarian crock-pot recipes. So, I thought I'd give it a go. I want to make a list of vegetarian crock-pot meals. Once I have made a pretty good list on here, and I will continue to update it as I find more vegetarian recipes, I want to take regular crock-pot recipes and try to alter them using veggie crumbles, chick'n strips, veggie dogs, and the like. If a recipe called for chicken broth I did NOT include it in my list. However, when I remake some recipes that call for things like that and I replace them I will be making a new list that has the recipes I have made and altered, along with the original links.
