Fall Weather Means Time for Baked Donuts

When the weather gets chilly I wanna make baked donuts with a hint of nutmeg and dusted in cinnamon and sugar and all just for 180 calories each...
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 baking powder
1/4 teasp nutmeg
1/2 teasp salt
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp. vanilla extract...

Mix altogether,let sit 5 minutes..put into piping bag or quart size ziploc bag and twist and snip a little off corner. Pipe into donut pan sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray.bake at 425 for 8 minutes or until golden brown.melt 2 tbsp butter and pour into small dish. Dip one side into butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Follow up with a cup of tea.

Cupcakes and Nut Brown Ales...

I always get the inquisitive eyebrow when I say I like browns and porters. Not sure why because they're so damn good. At first I wasn't too excited due to it's gold foiling but then I saw its a product of England and my heart skipped a beat (but not in a New Kids on the Block kinda way). And let's face it..the story on the back regarding the stone Yorkshire squares had me at hello.
Its a subtle strength,smooth though without any awkward aftertaste...it does have a nice gentle malt thing going on which might explain why it went so well with my chocolate cupcake. No, seriously...try it with a choclate cupcake.
It's good even when it starts to get warm...so on a scale from 1 to 10 I give it an 8...just don't drink 3 in an hour like I have. Yum.zzzzzzz

I'm Back!

I've missed blogging about food too much so be prepared for my madness to start up again....grilled cheese and the September issue of Vogue to start...

Damn You and Your Doughnuts Seattle!

If you are ever in Seattle ( i have yet to visit but it's on my list) and you love doughnuts then you're in luck,
my friend just got back and said he probably gained 20 lbs just from a doughnut shop he couldn't stay away from.

Say hello to Top Pot Doughnuts....

Begun in February 2002 out of a small brick storefront on north Capitol Hill in Seattle, Top Pot paired a vintage aesthetic with a gourmet spin on the traditional coffee and doughnuts pairing. 
They are also well noted for their coffee as well

they have several locations throughout Seattle

check out their menu of doughnuts.
