Menu Plan Monday

Last week hubby ended up taking off work Thursday and Friday so it threw my meal planning off a little bit (we ate out). So....I've got one of last week's meals making a repeat appearance this week.

Monday - Lime garlic chicken with rice (in the crock pot) & Easy zucchini Parmesan (52 calories)
Tuesday - Apple & pork stir-fry (298 calories)
Wednesday - Leftovers
Thursday - Taco pizza
Friday - Crunchy onion chicken (331 calories) with baked potatoes

I also plan to make biscuit donuts for a snack for the kids (O.K., maybe for me too) sometime this week. If you've never had donuts like this you should really try it. They are super easy, cheap and oh so good.

Biscuit donuts
One can of plain biscuits - I usually just get the cheapest can
Vegetable oil

Heat several inches of oil in a pot. Unwrap biscuits and poke holes in the center of each with a thimble (or whatever you've got). You could also just use your fingers but you won't get the yummy donut holes. Fry the donuts a few at a time in the oil making sure to flip them over when browned. It will only take a few minutes. Remove to a plate.

Toppings
To top the donuts I usually make a glaze of milk and powdered sugar (add cocoa powder for a chocolate glaze). Dip the donut tops in the glaze. Another yummy topping would be to shake the donuts in a bag of sugar and cinnamon.

Awesome donut idea. We have small mini buscuits at our local store 2/.88 cents. They come in a pack of 10.
