Last October, Mike and I visited the Griffith Observatory. We’ve been to LA many times, but for some reason the Observatory was never really on our radar. Well, we finally went and it was so nice we did it twice! The first time we went at night to get a good look at the city and the stars above. It’s amazing how you can actually see stars there considering the light leak from LA. We looked peeking through the telescopes and wanted to explore the Observatory, but spent so much time looking at the city that it shut down.
Naturally, we went back then next day to explore and the nerd in me loved all of the displays. It made me want to get out of the city and stargaze, which is exactly what we did because we left LA that day to drive back home. After a couple of nights on the road, I happened to look up out the window and was amazed by how many stars I could see. Mike and I stopped on the side of the road and believe it or not, saw the milky way with our naked eyes. It was breathtaking. And cold, so we didn’t look for too long.
But, I was so inspired that I made these doughnuts. Because in my mind, nothing beats gazing at the stars with my favorite person and my favorite person happens to be a fan of doughnuts. These doughnuts whipped up in flash, thanks to my KitchenAid® Artisan® Mini Mixer. I’m in LOVE with it. I love all things mini, so it’s no surprise, really. It’s quiet, has a nice compact footprint, and has the same power as the full size KitchenAid® tilt-head Stand Mixers. I’ve used it to make cinnamon buns, countless batches of cookies, and even pasta with the roller attachment. It’s bomb.

Here is my link! https://instagram.com/p/BOYO1p8DDRW/ one of my favorite holiday memories is when we had someone drop by with a bag full of toys from a local toy drive. We didn’t have a lot that Christmas, if anything, so that kind gesture made the difference in our Christmas. I’ll never forget that. For that reason, I always donate toys to local toy drives! Those donuts looks awesome! I’m impressed!
These look so cool
