Oven Baked Bacon

Okay, so maybe I'm the last one on the planet to figure this out, but did you know you could bake bacon? I've always hated cooking bacon on the stove - time consuming, hate the grease splatters, etc. And I've never gotten it crisp enough in the microwave. I usually use the ready-made bacon you can microwave, but that stuff is expensive. So I read somewhere that you can bake it and so I tried it and it works perfect!!! You can do a lot at once, don't have to tend to it, and no grease splatters. Just delicious, crisp, wonderful bacon. :)

Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with foil. Place the bacon flat on the foil without overlapping the pieces. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and drain on paper towels.

Easy Doughnuts

Ever since I made homemade bagels my daughter has been begging me to make homemade doughnuts. We happened to be watching a cooking show the other day where they used refrigerated biscuits to make them. So that's exactly what we did! And they were easy and super yummy. :)

refrigerated biscuits
oil
toppings

Heat 1 inch oil in a skillet. Separate biscuits and flatten a little with your hand. Using a small round cookie cutter, cut a hole in each biscuit. (I didn't have any small circles so we used hearts instead! You could also use the cap of a water bottle.) Fry the biscuits and the holes in the oil until brown on each side. Top them with whatever you want. We did half in just sugar and half in a frosting made of powdered sugar & milk. Both tasted great!
