I love donuts. When I was pregnant with Lily I would eat those mini powered sugar donuts every day. You know the kind they have at the gas station? Those. I would put them in the side door of my car. I gained 41 pounds with my first pregnancy. Doesn’t sound that crazy, but I was pretty thin so I looked like a pretty round donut by the end of it. Wasn’t entirely due to the donuts though to be honest. I was also super into Cheese Whiz. I was addicted to the Whiz. I would buy Triscuits and cheddar Cheese Whiz like I was a drug addict begging for crack. If you have never had it, it comes in a can and you spray it out in a little thin string. It’s looks like yellow silly string. Probably made from the same ingredients. Whateves – tastes really good.
I made these bourbon spiked donuts on KTLA this week. They are a fun dessert idea for Super Bowl or for just a Sunday brunch. If you didn’t want to go through the hassle of making the actual donuts you can just get store bought donut holes and make the Bourbon glaze. Who am I to judge. I hoard Cheese Whiz.
