Have you given up on your New Year’s resolutions yet? Well this isn’t going to help you because I am talking donuts! Let’s make some home made cheater donuts. This way you can enjoy the crispy fried taste without the risk of being caught in a donut shop by your friends that you made the resolution with. These are called cheaters because you don’t even have to make the dough — canned biscuit dough is all you need. And you can cheat on your resolution and no one has to know. He He!
For the recipe visit my post at the Phoenix New Time Chow Bella Blog: Cheater Donuts
Have you hit the after Christmas sales yet? One thing that is always a good bet is rolls of wrapping paper but not necessarily to use for gift wrapping. Make some New Years Eve decorations out of pretty paper.

These gift tags aren’t just about recycling, they’re about showing your friends how hip and anthropologie-like you can be. Plus you’ll be handcrafting your gifts this year anyway, right? If you’re planning on making your own wrapping paper why not make some gift tags for your pals’ presents too?

While helping an elderly neighbor of mine to unpack all of her Christmas things I came across a vintage ornament printed with a recipe for Campbell’s tomato soup cake. She shared with me that this was a popular thing to do bake in the day when you were trying to be thrifty and change up flavors. It was also from the hay day of adding cream soups to everything. Those days have died out somewhat, but for a thrifty Christmas throwback I thought I would give it a shot. I didn’t follow their recipe because they just used a boxed cake mix and I am more interested in the “from scratch” approach. I added a contemporary spin by making the recipe into cupcakes instead of a cake. They are actually pretty good.
