DOUGHNUTS

Alright y'all...

These. 

Make them and THANK me later!!!



Doughnut Ingredients: 

  • 4 eggs (preferably room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (I suppose you could use coconut milk, but I did not)
  • 1/3 cup grade A maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (if using an actual pumpkin puree, non-canned, make sure it you take out the excess liquid)
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup almond flour 
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used a slight more)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon "sugar" coating
  • Melted coconut oil (I used about 2 large tablespoons)
  • A handful of fine coconut sugar (about 1/4 cup). You do not need to do this but I blended the coconut sugar in a food processor to make it a finer crystal than how you purchase it
  • Cinnamon to "taste" (about 1 Tablespoon)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat eggs, Almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin, coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla... Mix well. I used my kitchen aid, you could also use a hand mixer. Blend until smooth...
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a spatula until combine
  4. Spoon batter into well greased doughnut pan 
  5. Bake about 20 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean)
  6. Let cool for 10ish minutes
  7. While you are waiting for it to cool... Combine the coconut sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish
  8. Brush melted coconut oil all over the doughnut and then coat with with cinnamon and sugar mixture
  9. SERVE

Enjoy!

Making Progress

Greetings from Seattle Children's, We are happy to inform everyone that Mason is doing very well and has been moved out of ICU and over to, "the floor." This is a good sign that he is recovering on schedule and should be just a few days away from going home. He orginally had three or four I.V.'s in and is now down to one, which included the removal of the main one in his neck. Kelsey and I were looking forward to that one being removed. He still has two drainage tubes in his chest which we would like to have had out already but the Dr.'s are being cautious because he drained a little more blood than normal his first day after surgery. The plan is to have those taken out tomorrow which will make him feel even better. He is waking up on occasion but isn't quite up for smiling yet...understandably. Kelsey and I just want to hold him and make him feel better but unfortunately he seems to become more uncomfortable when we do, so we try not to be too selfi...

Welcome to HOLLAND

It was time to start collecting all of the information needed to schedule and prepare for Mason’s Fontan Surgery. So last Friday – Mason went in for his Cardiac Catheterization. (Defined below) Cardiac Catheterization (Heart Cath) is the insertation of a catheter into a chamber or Vessel of the heart. This is done for both investigational and intervention purposes. Subsets of this technique are mainly coronary catheterization, involving the catheterization of coronary arteries, and catheterization of cardiac cambers and valves. (Did you get all of that?!?!?) When we arrived at Seattle Children’s Hospital– Greg was busy checking us in and I sat with Mason in the Surgery Center waiting area. Mason and I talked, I kissed him, I played with him… I pulled out all the stops so that he would not remember that he hadn’t eaten in 12 hours and that he was at his least favorite place – Children’s Hospital. During some point of my “operation distract Mason” I noticed you staring at us from acr...

To our moms (plural)

To my Mom… You might not always feel needed but you are. You raised two strong women. Who work hard, and try to play harder (at least one of us, I will let the readers decide who I am referring to).   You provided us with a childhood I dream to provide my kids with.   You showed us through experiences a taste of what this life has to offer. You are an amazing mom. AND an exceptional Nana.   To my Step-Mom… I don’t know this to be factual but I imagine that being a Step – Mom is somewhat harder… At least maybe to the two young girls below…. Joyce, you showed us a different side to unconditional love. You choose to stay and stand your ground. Even when you didn’t have to. Even when we fought back. The two women you helped raised are thankful for that! To my Mother in Law. You raised a man who is the best person I know.   (Side note. Mason just a...
