The Saturday that we made these apple donuts, it was the last Saturday before Paleo February, so we decided to go out with a bang and channel our inner Pioneer Woman. Since then, I've decided that our family food motto is "go hard or go home" because whether we're eating healthy or not, we don't… Continue reading Apple Donuts
Today, the school where I work and Andy is a student closed due to snow for the first time in about ten years.
