Doughnuts are actually easier to make than you may think. I finally attempted making them and it was a surprising success. I made a basic yeast dough and a  few different glazes; vanilla, matcha and coffee. I topped the vanilla glaze doughnuts with sprinkles and fruity pebbles. The coffee glaze one’s had too much of a strong coffee taste then needed. The matcha glaze was a pleasant sweet (sugar, sugar, sugar) green tea flavor. The most fun part of making them has to be the glazing and decorating part. Click more for the basic recipe I used.

I spend waaay too much time in the cereal aisle at the grocery store so there was no way this novelty was getting past me. By the way, Honey Nut Cheerios is the BEST cereal of all time. Anyway, with my love for cupcakes and cereal I couldn’t resist picking up this Cupcake Pebbles mash up. I went home super excited to try my discovery and as soon as I opened the box my nose was attacked with the sweet stench of sugar. As if you couldn’t guess, this cereal is SUPER sweet. It’s like sugar on steroids. I assumed it would just have a sugary taste but to my surprise it actually tastes like Funfetti Cake. It got soggy way too fast and that’s a huge pet peeve for me when it comes to cereal. I knew a second bowl was not in my future. Being that I will do everything possible not to waste food I knew I needed an alternative to just adding milk. So what do you do to something that is too sweet? Make it sweeter of course! I give you Cupcake Rice Krispie Treats.

Yakisoba is a popular fried noodle dish in Japan. It is commonly served as a main dish. It is cheap, fast and delicious! It is prepared by stir-frying ramen noodles with bite size pieces of pork, carrots, cabbage, onion and flavored with yakisoba sauce. It is commonly garnished with seaweed powder and Japanese mayonnaise. All Japanese markets and the ethnic section of your local grocery store should have the ingredients you need. Here is the recipe for making a Japanese homemade dish under $10 dollars.
