Happy National Donut Day! Let's make a air-fried d Happy National Donut Day! Let's make a air-fried donuts.

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!

Swing Dress and Tassel Clutch

tassel clutch

Dress | Shoes | Earrings | Clutch

Oh my gosh! TGIF! Why does the week after a holiday week feel like it is 150 years long? I’ve been looking forward to this weekend since Sunday night…

Anyways I’m stepping into the weekend in this fun little woven slip dress. This might be the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn. It’s just an easy throw on dress, but has a pretty neckline with triangle cut outs. My favorite part, it’s $19 at Target.

I paired it with a fun clutch. I have been all about the colorful clutches lately and this one just takes the cake. It is just the perfect little pop of pizzazz to an otherwise simple outfit. The embroidery is lovely and in my two favorite colors, and then it has a trendy pom-pom tassel.

My favorite shoes are making another appearance on the blog, this time in black! I wear the taupe ones all time, so of course I had to buy them in black. If they come out with another color, I’ll buy those too… Target is killing the shoe game lately.

What are y’all up to this weekend? I’m fighting off a cold, so I plan on working on some blog content, drinking plenty of fluids, and napping A LOT! Hoping I can get a little vitamin D in by the pool because it’s supposed to be a gorgeous weekend.
