The absolute best doughnuts EVER


I found this recipe on 101cookbooks a while back and figured I'd try it. (I owed Joel big time for being so patient this week!!) They were not nearly as much work as I thought they'd be and they rocked. They're baked, so they are much healthier for you and I found you didn't need nearly as much sugar to coat them as the recipe called for. I'm thinking next time of trying a mixture of whole wheat pastry flour and regular flour. Click here for the recipe.

Pumpkin Ravioli with Apples and Pecans


Lazy dinner alert... literally, all I did was boil the frozen ravioli mom brought down. While it was cooking I chopped up some apples and sauteed them with about 2 tablespoons butter and some cinnamon, toasted some pecans, and voila... lazy dinner. Soooo good.

Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken


I'm not sure why, but I recently decided to cook more. So I'm posting a bunch of stuff I made in the last week, starting with this stuffed chicken. It seems like lately we've been obsessed with feta and sundried tomatoes, adding it to practically everything we eat. Our current favorite: tuna salad with feta, sundried tomatoes, and raw baby spinach on whole wheat naan. It's insane. Anyhow, we decided to mix it up a bit and stuff some chicken breasts with feta and sundried tomatoes, a little basil from the plant I've somehow managed to keep alive, and then saute the spinach greens on the side. Quite tasty. Oh and the rice is Kashi's partially cooked rice from a bag that only takes 90 second to make. It seems that real rice is one of two things I can't seem to make, the other... banana bread (much to Joel's dismay).
