DS5 is an early riser. In fact, truly he just doesn't sleep well and so he is up early sometimes because he has barely slept but what that means for me is that sometimes I like to treat him to breakfast. It doesn't happen very often. Although I like to get up early these days, a change from my younger years!! I don't often like to cook early in the day, messes up the kitchen... Boo for messes... And due to wrestling, science fairs, and his job we haven't had any Saturdays for quite awhile. I DO NOT cook breakfast on school days. That's what Pop Tarts are for! Anyway the other day I wanted to fix him breakfast so I tried a quick treat. He has a sweet tooth so I knew he would love these little gems. By the way hubs and DS4 loves them too.
Fried Doughnuts
simple canned refrigerator doughnuts, as many as you think your crew will eat.
Enough vegetable oil to fill a frying pan about 3/4 inch
Powdered sugar, 1/2 cup or more
Milk, 1-2 Tablespoons
Mix powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze for the doughnuts.
Heat oil to a medium high. I didn't use a thermometer.... no clue how hot it got...
Poke a hole in each biscuit. Just use your finger. Stretch the hole in the biscuit a bit.
Carefully lay the biscuits in the hot oil. It only takes a minute so watch them carefully and turn them when they brown on one side.
Drain the doughnuts on paper towels.
When the doughnuts have drained for a bit dip them in the glaze, turn and dip the other side and place on a cooling rack. Eat them as soon as you can!! because they wont last long!!
Just a little side note: All of the ingredients of this breakfast treat were purchased using coupons. I used them in conjunction with sales to get the biggest bang for my buck. In total I doubt this treat for DS5 cost a more than 75 cents for 10 doughnuts! No that's a bargain. I have included a link to The Grocery Game web site for your perusal. If you decide to try it out use me as a referral, I'll appreciate it!!

Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken.... Cooking Up Some Chicken Love...
Not my typical post maybe but had to share this little concoction of chicken love!! DS5 loves chicken. I'm not sure if this is his favorite but he pretty much likes any chicken and he ate this up. It is soooo easy.
Heat oven to 375.
4-5 lb. roasting chicken, wash it if you want but it's unnecessary and means you have to sanitize your sink
2 TBSP softened butter, rubbed on chicken, makes the skin so crisp and yummy!
Season the chicken with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. I use my own mix that I call my house seasoning. (Maybe I share it with you sometime.)
1 medium onion, sliced into 6-8 thicker slices and 4-6 thin slices
1 lemon, sliced, make several slices thin
6-8 sprigs of fresh rosemary
Gently loosen the skin on the chicken breast. Slide a few thin slices of onion, a slice or two of lemon, a couple of sprigs of rosemary under the skin. Stuff the rest of the rosemary and lemon into the cavity of the chicken.
Place the 6-8 thicker slices of onion in the bottom of a roaster pan. I line mine with foil to make clean up easier. Place chicken on the bed of onion slices.
Roast chicken for 30-40 minutes at 375, then turn oven up to 425 and roast for another 10-20. Check it frequently in the last 20 minutes and tent it with foil if the skin begins to darken too much.
I meant to take pics of this yummy entree but we were in too much of a hurry to eat!! It is so yummy! It has just a bit of citrus tang and the freshness of the rosemary.
I served a cheesy California blend of vegetables, cinnamon applesauce and crescent rolls but I think it would go well with a pilaf or buttered egg noodles or any number of other sides.
I have also done this in my crock pot, just as delicious!
Leave me a comment if you try and like it... or don't like it (YIKES!) or maybe you improve it somehow.... :)
