The holiday season is a little tougher on me this year, you see last year Meeme (my grandma I was ridiculously close to) unexpectedly passed away on Christmas day. Recently, when I have walked into certain stores I have randomly started to cry – as things remind me of her. I am doing my best to make the most of the season, and have made a list of things that I would like to do around the Metro Detroit area. This year I am keeping it small and simple, as I don\’t want to get completely overwhelmed. What\’s on your Christmas to-do list.

Growing up, my brother and I’s stockings were always overflowing, and of course I have kept that tradition going. To be honest, stocking stuffers are my favorite, you never know what you’ll get which makes them a lot of fun to put together. I love throwing in essentials like warm fuzzy socks and underwear and a couple splurge-worthy items like makeup brushes. I’m big on the little things meaning the most, and stockings really let the little things shine.

Thanksgiving

This year has been a tough one for me. I’ve struggled with personal loss, professional setbacks and more times than I want to admit ran away from people and moments when things got hard. I have realized that I need to be more present in moments, and have the memories in my mind instead of “the perfect picture”. I have so much to be grateful for this year, and have been reminded to take nothing for granted. I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgiving, and I am so grateful for every last one of you reading this.

Quick and Easy Apple Cider Donuts

Can you believe it, Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I know, I can\’t either. When I lived in Pittsburgh (Canonsburg to be exact), I met an amazing couple who taught me how to do some serious cooking. One thing that Barb taught me to make was quick and easy donuts. No joke, these donuts are so simple to make they\’re perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning and even if people just randomly stop by.

All you need is Pillsbury Grands Flaky Rolls and oil.
To make:
1. Open the Pillsbury Grands Flaky Rolls.
2. Cut out a circle in the center.
3. The centers can be fried up as donut holes.
4. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
5. Cook in the oil until each side is golden brown.
6. Place on a cooling rack.
7. Serve warm.
Can be reheated for 7-15 seconds in a microwave.
