Dosa is a South Indian crepe usually made with fermented batter of lentils and rice. It tastes good and is considered a healthy breakfast or lunch meal.

But I digress. As I was researching apple cider doughnuts (hush, it’s a real thing), I came across these old-fashioned pumpkin spice cake doughnuts in one of my FAVORITE cookbooks, the Top Pot Doughnuts cookbook....

You’re going to need 16 ounces of hearty bread (I like brioche because it’s also a little sweet and the texture for this kind of thing is amazing and it’s easier for me to find than challah, but a loaf of French bread would also work), 6 eggs, some full-fat egg nog, pumpkin pie spice, rum and vanilla extracts (or actual spiced rum if that makes your heart go pitter patter)....

Got a few spotty, ripe bananas? Make vegan banana muffins! Or if you’d like, vegan banana bread or vegan banana pancakes. I have a growing collection of banana recipes on my blog.

Ingredient Notes: Onion – I like yellow onion, but white or even purple would be just fine.

How to make Quick and Easy Black Beans We’ll then add 2 cans of black beans that have been drained and rinsed....

Stir fry is the ultimate in easy last-minute dinners. By its nature, a stir fry is quickly cooked. So that’s really helpful. No stirring and simmering for an hour.

Shrimp and snow pea stir fry uses precooked shrimp and veggies that only need a very quick sauté to get nice and hot and all combined with the sauce....
