Bringing "back in the day" back to today
Doughnuts, who doesn’t love them? I know that they are pretty popular around our house. I have written about them in the past; check out this post about baked chocolate glazed doughnuts. In that post I had intended to buy a real doughnut pan, I finally did and it worked great! I have been craving …
If you take a look at our last few posts, you will see a theme. Fall is in full swing and we have done our apple picking and are now looking for ways to use these apples. We’ve made a traditional apple pie and apple pie egg rolls, but what now? That got me thinking …

Today’s lunch options were limited to PB&J sandwiches. The kids probably would have been happy with that but I found some frozen fish in the back of my freezer and decided that a fish sandwich sounded mighty fine for lunch today.
