Sorry for the radio silence this week. Lots going on/not much going on. That is, I've been busy, but not with anything interesting! No sewing going on, that is for sure.
But what I do have for you today is donuts. Eva and I made Ina Garten's recipe for Baked Cinnamon Donuts and I'm telling you, they are worth the price of the special donut pans. The beauty of this donut recipe is that they are baked not fried. So, healthy donuts, right?
They were super easy to make and we got almost two dozen out of the recipe. They were so good right out of the oven that it is a miracle we had any left to put on the tray.
Hope you are all having a great week.
We had the storm of the century last weekend. The atmospheric river typhoon bomb or whatever the weathercasters were calling it. I can tell you there was a lot of wind and rain involved. My husband measured over 5 inches in our backyard and my son-in-law got over 6 inches on his rain gauge. Which is pretty unprecedented in our area of the state. When I got home from the Bay Area Sunday afternoon, our neighborhood looked like a war zone with broken tree branches and debris blown all over. Not sure if the drought is over, but we certainly got drenched. Supposedly the storm is headed East, so watch out!
I just might have to buy some donut pans and try this. The recipe certainly looks easy enough. Looks delicious!

Baked donuts! Who knew? 🍩🍩 They look delicious & Eva's face shows it! That's good news about the rain, except for the downed branches & debris.

Eva is beautiful. We had a half inch of rain the other day. A lot for the high desert but wow you guys really got a lot. I hope we didn't get the whole season at once! Happy Halloween to you and yours.

Guess we are the recipients of your bombogenesis on the East Coast! Third night for us with no power. :-( Can’t believe all the damage— an awning flew off Panera and is right in the middle of the road— tons of trees snapped like toothpicks. The first thing I’m gonna do when power returns is…
MAKE THOSE DONUTS!!!

I need to try your donut recipe as I do have some mini donut pans. We received 2 1/2 inches of rain Monday here and its been raining on and on all day here in Northern Illinois. We needed the rain too. It has been a very dry year for us.
