You can make donuts using biscuit dough! I used regular and chocolate chip biscuit dough here. 

Directions:
1. Take your biscuit dough out of the tubes and use a round cookie cutter (or any small round glass) to cut a hole in the middle. Put the center dough to the side.
2. Spray your air fryer with cooking spray.
3. Put as many donuts in the air fryer that will fit your appliance. If you have the Instant Pot/Air Fryer, I did three at a time.
4. Fry the donuts for 6 minutes flipping halfway through. So three minutes, then flip, and three more minutes.
5. Take them out and add your icing!
6. You can use the middle pieces to make donut holes.

Let's make the easiest clam cookies for summer par Let's make the easiest clam cookies for summer parties! These would go well with the crabby chicken salad croissants I shared a few weeks ago. 

To make these, add icing the the back of a Nilla wafer. Place a second cookie on top allowing the front to be open while the backs are touching. Add candy eyes or pearls to the icing. 

You can make these in lots of colors. I was feeling pink, but blue or purple is totally on theme for a mermaid party or a "let's shell-a-brate" party!

Deskercise! 5 Exercises to do at Your Desk

Work is pretty much all-consuming. Seriously, when you work full time do you have anything else? Free time doesn’t exist, so forget running errands, eating healthy, and definitely no time to exercise. So I’ve decided to combine at least some of the things in my life and found some exercises to do at work- deskercise if you will.
I’m not saying your going to be ready for the NPC Bikini Competition, but you can shed a few more calories than you would by just sitting in your desk eating chocolate covered almonds, you know. So here are five easy exercises to do at your desk.

 

1. Cheek squeezes – I’m sure there is a more lovely name for this… Squeeze your gluteus maximus (your butt) together for 10-12 seconds then release. Do as many reps as you want, nobody can see you. This deskercise is cubicle approved.

2. Desk chair abs – Hold on to your desk, suck your belly button into your spine, and swivel side to side. Just keep engaging your core!

3. Under the desk bike – Pedal your way to better calves while you sit at your desk. All you need is an under the desk peddler. Super cheap. Only $26 on Amazon.

4. Toe-taps – Keep your feet moving by tapping your toes under your desk. I’m particularly fond of performing a tap dance worthy of 42nd Street, but regular taps will be just fine.

5. Social butterfly – instead of calling extensions or sending an email, hop up and walk. Visit with your co-workers and walk to their office. Bonus points if they work downstairs.

What are your favorite deskercises?

    I've been trying to walk around the office to talk to people lately, and I feel like it really helps, at least I have a higher step count on my FitBit! That was especially helpful for our step competition at work!

    I always check in with myself every hour and make myself get up and walk. That desk bike is awesome.

    The desk peddler is only $26?!? I am sold! Sitting at a desk ALL day kills me sometimes. I make sure to try to go for a walk over my lunch break. I also have a stability ball to sit on rather than the chair.

    That desk peddler looks awesome! I had my desk converted to a standing one (or sit on a high chair), so I'm not sure I'd be able to use it, but I'd definitely use it at my home desk!

      It's so great! Best $26 I've ever spent!

    I did not know the desk peddler was a thing, but I totally need it. That's perfect for at work!

    Determine the load Rating – customary workplace chairs square measure designed to carry up to 250 pounds. With the exception of specialty massive and tall workplace chairs, with some which will hindrance to 550 pounds, most workplace chairs you may realize on-line will solely hold a most weight of 250 pounds. If your weight needs a specialty chair, it's best to pay the additional cash to urge one otherwise your chair won't be below warrantee and can exponentially increase the possibilities of it breaking a lot of faster.
