Now we are two weeks into the month and it’s mostly scrumptious desserts and goodies being pinned {lol}.  At least we can laugh at ourselves together right: 😉

Not wanting to leave anyone out, we’re trying to fill our January with a mix of healthy choices {for those of you working the skinny jeans}, Game Day nom noms {for those of you who

Donuts are kind of a big thing in Texas.  You can find a cute little donut shop on almost every corner.  They are open in the wee hours of the morning, but be careful, if you are not there by 8 am, chance are you won’t get your favorites!  Most youth activities here involve donuts because they are so easy and inexpensive.  I thought everybody had an abundance of donuts, but talking with out-of-state friends I’ve come to learn that is not the case {so sorry}.   No need to worry, you’ll love these easy-to-make donut holes even more  – I
