DIY: doughnut easter bunnies

March 30, 2013

Easter is almost here, and I wanted to share with you a quick treat that I put together for my kids to share at a little Easter hunt they attended yesterday.

These little bunnies are made out of little powdered sugar doughnuts, and were super easy to make, and the kids thought they were fun!

You only need a few supplies:

Jelly beans (for the nose)
Powdered sugar mini doughnuts
Mini chocolate chips
Wire cutters
Pipe cleaners

Step One

Push a jelly bean in the center of the doughnut to create a “nose.”  I used pink, you could use any color if you wish.

Step Two

Push in two mini chocolate chips pointed side down for the eyes.

Step Three

Measure the pipe cleaners to about 3 3/4 inches, and bend them in half to form the ears.  Make sure the bottom of the pipe cleaners come together, or they will spring out of the doughnut later.

Step Four

Place the pipe cleaners into the top of the doughnut for the ears.

And, there you have it!  Repeat as needed to share with all your little bunnies.

Happy Easter!  Hope you have a great one!

I have to give a talk in my church congregation Easter Sunday. No pressure right?  Better go write my talk!

Recipe // veggie tacos

March 28, 2013

Eating healthy can sometimes be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be.  Sometimes we run out of ideas, but it really isn’t too complicated.  The other day I needed something to put together for dinner in a hurry.  I started to dig through the fridge and pulled out all the vegetables we had, and pretty soon, a healthy dinner was served!
{Veggie tacos}
Mushrooms, sliced
Red peppers, diced
Zucchini, sliced
Onion, Diced
Kale or spinach, chopped
In a skilled heat 1 tsp coconut oil over medium heat.  Add onions red peppers, and mushrooms sauté until soft, about 8 minutes.  Add the kale, and zucchini and sauté another 3-5 minutes until cooked.
Place in a corn tortilla and top with cheese. Serve with salsa!
Enjoy!
