Glazed Blackberry Doughnuts

May 4, 2018 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Have you ever created something super delicious in the kitchen that was technically more of a happy accident than a direct reflection of your actual culinary skill? (I laughed out loud as I typed that, because that’s basically how I’d describe my cooking skills in college!) Earlier this week I was faced with a basket full of beautiful blackberries sitting in my refrigerator that needed to be used before they went bad, so I started brainstorming ways that I could utilize them that I had never tried before.

A few months ago I shared a simple recipe for guilt-free southern fried chicken, and since that time it has exploded in popularity more than I ever imagined! Air Fryers are wonderful kitchen inventions that allow you to cook your favorite foods without deep frying, and their uses span far beyond fried recipes! In fact, most air fryers come with accessories that allow you to bake, too! Cutting back on excess grease and practicing healthier cooking methods is something I’m all about, so I’ve been feeling really inspired to get my Air Fryer back out and really start cooking more with it!

Can we all just take a minute and throw our hands up in the air with excitement over the much awaited arrival of spring? I’m telling you, it felt like it was never going to get here! Even though we seem to be in a slight cold front in my neck of the woods this week, I’m not at all letting it get me down. Nope, not this mama! I’ve got too much going on to be excited about, and celebrating the sight of spring and all of the newness that comes along with it has me downright giddy! Plus, I recently entered my second trimester of pregnancy, so I’m finally starting to feel new again, too! You know, aside from a tiny human taking up residence inside my already petite body, I’d say I’m feeling pretty good!

If you’ve been making Jello according to the package instructions your whole life, I feel like I must let you in on this little secret to make it SO. MUCH. BETTER. I mean, regular Jello is cool and all. It has it’s place, but when you transform it with a few scoops of ice cream, it’s a total game changer! This version is creamy and delicious, and tastes like an absolute dream! It can be made using any flavor of Jello you choose, but with St. Patrick’s Day quickly approaching, I thought it’d be fun to turn this into a fun little leprechaun treat for my daughter and I to share together!

Now that all of my pink and read heart-shaped decorations have found their way back into the storage closet until February rolls around again next year, I’ve got all of my pretty pastels and Easter bunnies and chicks on deck, ready to make their debut pretty soon! While it’s no secret that my sweet tooth is the strongest bone in my body, I’m trying to be a bit more mindful during these sugar-coated holidays to present my little one with adorably cute options that aren’t loaded down with refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. I mean, you know ya girl is still going to indulge in a Cadbury Egg (or 4…they’re my absolute favorite seasonal candy) but everything in moderation, right?

Valentine’s Day is one week away, and I can’t even believe it! Some days I feel like this year is going by pretty fast already, but then I remember that I’m pregnant and most days time feels like it’s actually going at a super slow crawl. The days go slow, but the years go by fast don’t they? 😉

As a family, we don’t typically do anything special on Valentine’s Day, but that definitely doesn’t mean I don’t eat my fair share of chocolate candies, cakes, and all sorts of sweets to celebrate the day!

Honey Ginger Venison and Jasmine Rice Bowls

Walking into the new year, I was a little bit disappointed in myself for not making as many game-changing resolutions to hold on to for 2018. I’m typically one to make out my goals and resolutions well in advance and have them on display in my office for me to look at every day. However, seeing as how I kept my head in a toilet nearly all of the month of December (morning sickness is for the birds, y’all) I feel like I was doing pretty good to jot down just a few simple and out of the box goals I wanted to move towards in 2018.

Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad Wraps + Free Printable!

Let’s talk about goals, shall we? Goals and resolutions are two popular buzz words that always float around during this time of year, and people have been busy planning out all of the things they hope to accomplish or change as they start another trip around the sun. I, too, make a list of goals that I want to accomplish every year, and I love being surrounded by true goal-diggers who help keep me motivated long past the end of January. I’m not typically one who can persevere through obstacles on her own without a little support from friends and family, so having a cheer squad to help me achieve my goals is pivotal for me.
