For our family home evening treat tonight, I made doughnuts. They were delicious! We had some with apple pie filling inside, some with lemon pudding inside, some plain and some rolled in a little sugar. Today's picture is the plate of what was left after we had eaten a bunch. Next time I think I'm going to do chocolate glazed. I wanted to do that tonight, but ran out of time.
I mentioned a few weeks ago(briefly) something called Bake Your Own Bread(BYOB). Basically, I am trying to bake all of our baked goods at home from scratch. I've made whole wheat bread for a few years now, although not always exclusively. I would grab some bread at the store if we ran out at home and I didn't have time/energy to bake more. This year I am trying to plan better and stay motivated so that doesn't happen. I've also pretty much always made our birthday cakes, but I also want to make all of the other baked goods. Cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, bagels, croissants, english muffins, hot dog and hamburger buns... I want to make it all!
I am really enjoying it so far and my family couldn't be more supportive. ;c) This is one project where they all want to see me succeed!

I love to bake too! You are my hero! I'm not sure I could keep up with the boys' appetites, but I've really trying to be more self-sufficient and trying out new recipes. Your donuts look delicious and I know some kids who would finish off a whole batch - maybe I should try those.
You go girl. That's one area where I fail. I hardly ever bake bread. Your donuts look yummy!
If only I could reach through the computer I would be munching on some YUMMY looking doughnuts!!! They look so tasty! :9

You make me so proud! Makes me remember the yummy donuts I used to make. . . they were always a BIG hit at church potlucks. Makes me want to make some donuts. Trouble is that I would then have to eat them. . . ALL! hehehe
mmm
So, what is it that makes your pictures look so good? Is it the camera? Is it photoshop?
These are questions I would like to know. I think you have an artistic eye for photography too, but there is a professional quality about them that I am trying to figure out.
I want to make my photography look that way too, so what's your secret? Please help me. :)
Jen, you really need to update your pictures. My mouth is watering every time I see those donuts.
Thanks everyone!
Heidi- I thought I had commented, but maybe I only thought it. LOL My camera is a Canon Rebel XSi. I LOVE it. Love love love it. I tweak the photos jut a little in iPhoto right before I upload them, but it's mostly the camera.
Sorry to be short, but the baby is crying. :c(
