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.

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 Best Over The Knee Boots


Happy Monday! I am totally loving the over the knee boots trend this season, what about you? Mostly because it’s ridiculously cold and having boots up to my thighs keeps me warm! I also really love the trend because it’s cute and really flattering on all body types.

I have super short stubby legs, so I feel like the over the knee boots help give me length. I opt for the wide-calf because they usually provide a better fit for my stubbs and will fit over leggings and jeans.

best over the knee boots

Today, I put together a fun round up of over the knee boots. I included both wide-calf and regular fit for all shapes and sizes. Let’s get to it!

 

Premier Standard vegan suede block heel – These got very high reviews on Amazon! They are only $36.99 and come in several great colors like burgundy, grey, taupe and olive.
Betsey Johnson Keeva Velvet Over the Knee – These are at the TOP of my Christmas list. I tried them on awhile ago and I can’t stop thinking about them. The heel is multicolored rhinestones and it is perfection in every way. These were not wide-calf but still looked awesome on. I should have bought them haha.
Style & Co Wide Calf Boots – These were created specifically for Macy’s! They have double zipper so they are super easy to put on and add a unique twist.
RAID Kola Black Round Toe – I love the round toe on these. They are super slimming throughout. Plus they are less than $100!
Room of Fashion Wide-Calf Block Heel – These are the ones I’m wearing in the photo. I found them on Amazon for $49 and I think they are my soulmate. They have adjustable strings and also come in medium regular fit.
Steve Madden Devine Over the Knee Boot – If you love the skinny heel and fierce look, these babies are for you. This is just a sexy shoe, ya know what I’m saying?
Steve Madden Women’s Rational Over the Knee – Ok, the reviews say these are not suede so don’t go in thinking that. However, they are on sale right now for $90! If you are looking for not suede but fabric, these are a beautiful option.
Vince Camuto Kochelda Over the Knee – Ah Vince, my other love. I love any and all Vince Camuto shoes and I think these are so beautiful. They have a great whipstitch that adds such a cool dimension.
Sole Society Laila Boot – I think these are so cool! They have a great wedge heel that you don’t always see on over the knee boots. For people who prefer wedges to heels, this is a fabulous option.
Vince Camuto Majestie Over the Knee –  These are incredible…a) because they are Vince Camuto and b) because they have a great stretchy knit panel in the back. This gives it a cool silhouette and also allows a little wiggle room.

Do you have over the knee boots? What’s your favorite way to wear them?

    I seriously love the look of OTK boots but they never have them in my kid-shoe size haha. I’m still on the hunt! Love your picks.

    Ugh, there is nothing more gorgeous than an over-the-knee boot, in my opinion ? Don’t get me wrong, my closet is also full of ankle and knee high boots as well, but it’s the long boots that really make me feel good about myself!

    I have a pair of black OTK boots that I bought from Goodnight Macaroon and they are seriously the best!

    Vince boots are my fave. It’s hard to balance cute with comfort, but these choices are stunning! I love your suede black boots. Perfect for any occasion.

    If I’m being honest, over the knee boots intimidate me a bit! I just never know how to style them properly or if I am wearing them correctly. I love the ones you have one though! Maybe I need to try on a couple pair at DSW this weekend…. 🙂

    Your picks are so cute! I love the glitter heel, so fun! I just bought a pair of flat OTK boots and I’m just so excited to wear them

    I love that taupe pair! OTK boots are my favorite fall trend!
