Happy Haute Halloween: The Day When Orange Is The New Black!

{ Via: ZsaZsaBellagio }

Hello, my pretties!  Just in case, you are having trouble getting into the mood of the holiday, I present to you the color of the day - orange. For today, it is the new black. Actually it is a bright and happy hue that can really liven up a look, a space, and even your face.  Unlike black, orange comes in many hues, and I have included them all in this edit.  Here's hoping that you have a happy and haute Halloween. Now for

Foodie Friday: Donut Lover Recipes & More

{ Via: Ana Rosa }

Clearly I have sugar on my mind. Funny thing, after 19 days without it, I am not dying for it anymore. Just remember the pleasure of it all, and my body feels so much better.  So are you a donut lover? The "Shop This" family is, and "Mr. Shop This" went a little cray cray last weekend, when he saw a sale on donut fixings at Sur La Table. Now we are the proud owner of a donut pan, and several mixes which I plan to try out this weekend for my weary traveller. I've added a couple of recipes for dunking the donuts, too. Enjoy!

Le Creuset April 468x60

17 Sinfully Sweet Recipes

Easy Raised Donuts
They say these are easy, but yeast does scare me a little. The very best part of this recipe is that strawberry glaze!
Butterfly Foodie

Chocolate Glazed Coconut Flour Doughnuts
I have never used coconut flour before, but it sounds like a great alternative to a whole grain....not to mention the coconut flavor it gives to the doughnut. And aren't they just perfect looking for Fall?
Sprinkle Bakes

Apple Cider Donuts
The glaze makes this recipe stand out from the others. And it's made from a mix. Click below to find the recipe and instructions.
Williams Sonoma

Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnuts
Just because these are vanilla, doesn't mean that they are plain. And those colorful glazes are ever so pretty.
Cooking Classy 

Baked Chocolate Butterfinger Donuts
As if a donut isn't good enough on its' own.....just think about topping it with a Butterfinger candy bar. Oh My!
A Latte Food

Hot Spiced Rum Cider
Now this is how cider should always be served! 
Williams Sonoma

Spiced Pumpkin Donuts
What a happy group of donuts these are! They are made with pumpkin puree and topped with a cream cheese frosting, and lots and lots of sprinkles.
What's Gabby Cooking

Salted Caramel Donuts
These are a simple spongy donut stuffed full of smoky salted caramel. Sounds decadent.
The Sugar Hit

S'mores Doughnuts
 Loaded with Marshmallow Frosting then drizzled with Chocolate and topped with crushed graham crackers!
Julie's Eats And Treats

Vegan Apple Butter Filled Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts
Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside and filled with homemade apple butter.  It's creamy with a hint of cinnamon and ginger. What's not to love?
My Vibrant Kitchen

Donut Pan
So this is the pan and donut mix that "Mr. Shop This" just had to have last weekend. And even though I really prefer to make everything from scratch, these will be made in the next day or two. The pan is on sale now.
Sur La Table

Reese's Stuffed Pastry Donuts
Only six ingredients stand between you, me, and
 donut ecstasy! 
Sugar and Soul

Vanilla Cream Filled Cabernet Hot Chocolate Snowball Doughnuts.
The word cabernet got my attention here. And then there is that hot chocolate sauce. Forget the cheese plate, I'll take these with 
my cocktails.
Half Baked Harvest

Coconut Spiced Latte
Fall in a mug! Just in case you still haven't had enough pumpkin {is that even possible?}, now you will want a little more. This just looks and sounds fab.
Half Baked Harvest

Peanut Butter Creme Filled Donuts
I think I see my name drizzled in chocolate on these. Peanut Butter and Chocolate are one dynamic duo. Guess what's in the creme? 
How Sweet Eats

Biscoff Donuts
I secretly like those little Biscoff cookies they serve on the planes. These donuts will be even better than the cookies.  They are stuffed with Biscoff cookie butter, glazed and drizzled. 
Oh Yum!
Baking A Moment

Southern Buttermilk Bourbon
 Praline Doughnuts
From a Throwdown With Bobby Flay episode comes this sensational sounding recipe. I think it is a must make!
