Today's Tip:
20 Doughnuts + Holes for less than a Dollar
What you need
2 cans of off brand canned biscuits (.40 cents each)
Shortening
Cast Iron Skillet
Powdered Sugar
Heat shortening in skillet over medium-high heat. You will want between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of melted shortening in pan.While shortening is melting, open the biscuits and separate each, then punch out center. We used a hand-held apple corer; it is just about the right size for the holes. Also, prepare a platter with paper towels on it to absorb extra grease.
Once shortening is hot, gently place several holes or doughnuts into the pan. Do Not crowd the pan, but you can put several in at a time. After about 30 seconds flip the doughnut or holes over to brown on other side.
Once golden brown on both sides remove from grease and place on paper towels. Sprinkle with powered sugar while hot. These are best when eaten while still warm.
There you have it a simple and delicious (not so healthy) Breakfast or Snack for under a Dollar.

Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal
This recipe I found in a magazine.It had several other options for improving
plain old instant oatmeal (peach Ginger,Strawberries 'n' Cream,Cranberry Orange)
but I'm an old-fashioned girl when it come to flavors and I love this option.
3 tablespoons chopped dried apples
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 to 3 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/2 cup plain instant oats
Add dry ingredients to a pint- or quart-size resealable bag. Seal and shake to distribute evenly. Unseal, press out the air, and reseal. When ready to serve, pour into a bowl and cover with hot water. Allow to sit for at least a minute before stirring. Add more water, milk, cream, etc as you like. Add sugar or salt to taste.
