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!

Saturday Morning Coffee Talk, Valentine's Day · February 19, 2022

Saturday Morning Coffee Talk – February 19, 2022

It’s time for another Saturday Morning Coffee Talk! Grab your coffee and let’s chat. I’m rounding up all of the highlights from our week in this post.

Saturday Morning Coffee Talk

What I Bought

I’m planning for a little trip next week. It’s going to be a great opportunity to shoot some spring and summer content. I purchased some great swimsuits like this one, this one and this one.

I also purchased some cute sets like this one. I bought a coordinating bucket hat to go with it. Are you cool with the bucket hat coming back, or would you prefer if we skip this trend again?

What I Shared

Ben’s Helmet Graduation

Amazon February Fashion Finds

Valentine’s Day DIY Nail Colors

Tailgate Snacks Round-Up

What I Watched

Olympics, Olympics and more Olympics! We have just had it on around the clock in our house.

We have a lot of shows on our list though once the Olympics are over. We want to watch “Tinder Swindler,” Season 2 of “Love is Blind,” and “Pam and Tommy.” We will also absolutely be watching “Cool Runnings” for the millionth time. We love this movie and watch it every few months anyway, but after cheering for the Jamaican Bobsled team during the Olympics, we have to watch it again.

What I Ate

We’ve been keeping up with our meal planning. I took fewer photos last week, mostly because I was hungry and just scarfed it down, but we had some awesome meals.

We made these mini-pizzas from skinnytaste for our Super Bowl gathering and they were so tasty! We loved them so much and had leftover ingredients, so we made them again on Wednesday.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, I made this football-themed charcuterie board.

We also made a delicious spicy shrimp fried rice from Skinnytaste. We loved this one! I hope to have this one again soon.

We also made this chicken and artichoke pasta. I wanted to like this one more than I did. I don’t love sundried tomatoes so if we make it again, I will probably leave these out.

My favorite meal we made this week though was the slow cooker chicken tacos. These were SO tasty!

What I Did

Ben had another ear infection this week, so I spent the beginning of the week home with him. Then he got his helmet off on Wednesday! That was incredibly exciting. Read more about that here!

I also met my mom and my aunt for happy hour at Howell’s in Atlanta. If you are an Atlanta local, this is a great restaurant with a fantastic patio situation. I had a Georgia Peach Mojito and it was incredible. Also, all of their appetizers are divine.

Other than that, I really just played with Ben and watched the Olympics, so unfortunately, I don’t have a huge update here for you!

What I Wore

what i wore

I mostly wore my favorite dingy sweatshirt from college this week with the hole in my sleeve since Ben was sick, but I did get dressed up once! I wore this stunning dress for a wedding this weekend! It’s perfect for a black-tie optional wedding. It’s only $57 and has a great adjustable zipper on the slit. You can make the slit as high or low as you like. I had mine down low because I had on Spanx, but you can also make it much higher.

Missed last week’s Saturday Coffee Talk? Check it out here!

I hope you had a wonderful week!

    Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be
    on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly
    do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out
    the whole thing without having side effect ,
    people can take a signal. Will probably be
    back to get more. Thanks

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
    Nevertheless think of if you added some great graphics
    or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this
    site could definitely be one of the best in its field.
    Good blog!

    Thanks , I have recently been searching for information approximately this topic for a while and yours is the best I have came upon till now.
    But, what about the bottom line? Are you
    positive about the supply?

    March 17, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after
    checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I found it and
    I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!
