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!

The Five Best Movies to Watch This Summer

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #DataAndAMovie #CollectiveBias

I love summer. There is no secret there. I love to be at the beach or in the pool with my giant flamingo float, sipping a frosty beverage without a care in the world. Unfortunately, I’m not doing a ton of that this summer. With the wedding date looming close by, I don’t have a lot of vacation days to take beforehand.

It’s alright though because I am embracing the staycation with Walmart Family Mobile and VUDU! With the Walmart Family Mobile Plus plan, you receive unlimited talk, text, and data which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE plus a free movie on VUDU every month ($7 value) per line of $49.88. Since Family Mobile bills you later, you only have to pay $19.88 when you sign up!

I currently share a family plan with my siblings who both don’t have wifi for the summer. It’s been a bit challenging, but with my new 10GB of extra data through Walmart Family Mobile, I can plan my staycations in Atlanta by helping map my directions, purchase tickets for fun outings online, and taking and sharing photos on social media.

Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to this link or your local Walmart for current pricing.

To really make my staycation feel like summer, I live vicariously through my favorite summer movies on VUDU, an awesome service for you to stream or download the latest movies and tv shows. That means lots of summer fun movies are coming my way to help pump up my staycation!

 

Here are my top 5 all time favorite summer movies:

–Aquamarine. You can judge me all you want for this pick, but I don’t care. I LOVE this movie. Who doesn’t love Evan from Greek and mermaids? Plus Weezer’s “Holiday in the Sun” is one of my favorite songs, and every time I hear it I feel like I have to watch this movie.

–Just Go With It: Another one of my absolute favorites! I just think this movie is hilarious. I love Jennifer Anniston, and when she is cast with Adam Sandler, Nicole Kidman, Dave Matthews and Brooklyn Decker, you really just can’t go wrong.

–Lilo and Stitch: I saw this movie when I was ten the night before I spent a month in Malta, so this movie holds a special place in my heart. It always feels like summer when I watch this movie.

-The Sandlot: I’ve seen this movie so many times on youth trips growing up that it just screams summer to me. “You’re killing me, Smalls.”

-50 First Dates: Another Adam Sandler flick, but it’s another good one. This movie cracks me up EVERY TIME, and I’ve seen it at least 100 times.

I stream all these movies through the VUDU app on my NEW LG K7 (only $89.88) phone and watch on my tv through Chromecast. However, you can stream it through any Smart TV, Roku, VUDUspark, etc.

What are your favorite summer movies? How are you embracing the staycation?
