Pumpkin Spiced Baked Donuts

I was so happy to find this recipe on the http://www.blueeyedbakers.com/ blog.  It contains no buttermilk which is one of those things I have not been able to successfully replace yet.  It has been so long since I have had a donut that I get depressed just thinking about it.  Thankfully, this recipe totally cured me.  My whole donut eating family loved them too.  I was not too sure how the olive oil replacement for the butter would work but no one could tell at all.  After a few had been eaten by the whole family, I told them what I used and they all said they would never have quessed.  These donuts are super good! 

BBQ Ribs in the Slow Cooker!

I know you are thinking ribs in a slow cooker....ugh!  But NO!  These ribs are amazing!  My husband loves ribs and he said these are the best ever!  He doesn't want to cook them any other way from now on.  They are so tender and fall of the bone that it is insane.  The final broil really seals the deal.  They look and taste better than any restrauant but they are soooo easy.  A must try for all. 

Best Batter- Fried Chicken

I have been searching for a great fried chicken that will still taste great and be somewhat crunchy the second day.  Thanks to American's Test Kitchen I have found it.  This stuff is super great.  I, of course,, also love that it is 100 % dairy-free.....not buttermilk needed!   The perfect picnic chicken!  I posted the orginial recipe but I used chicken breast boneless cut in half lenghtwise.  I did everything the same except I only fried it for 3 minutes per side.  It was fantastic.
