Great Fall Recipes

A MUST MAKE FOR FALL!!!
Mini Apple Spiced Glazed Donuts

You will need:
1 (7.5 ounce) can refigerator biscuits (they come in a 4 pack, go ahead and buy 4, you will make more I promise)
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons of apple juice
3 cups of veg oil

Do this:

Remove biscuits from can and place on a cutting board. Using a lid to a water bottle or coke bottle cut out a hole in the middle of eat biscuit. Let biscuits and hols lay and rest for 15 minutes. Very important.
In bowl combine powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and apple juice. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a med or large pot to 350 degrees. I heated mine about 10 minutes on high, then cut it down a little.
Fry donuts 3 at a time for about 45 seconds per side. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined tray. Once all are cooked and holes too dip the tops and holes in glaze and place on serving tray. Let them set 5 minutes then serve... what a special fall treat and they are so good!

Meat is one of the most expensive items on your grocery list. Here are some tips from Dining on a Dime to help you cut down on the cost of meat:
Eat soup and a sandwich once a week
Have pasta (macaroni and cheese) or rice (broccoli, cheese and rice casserole) night twice a week.
Have a "leftovers" night.
Have a baked potato night with all the fixings!
Have a veggie night. Serve veggie soup, chef salad or platter of garden fresh veggies with cheese and crackers.

Some things I liked from an email I got...

If God is your Co-pilot, swap seats!

The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

God Himself doesn't propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?

A lot of church members singing 'Standing on the Promises' Are just sitting on the premises.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
