Happy Jelly Doughnut Day!

Blogger of the Day: Allison at Vegan Mommy Chef

No, these aren't actual jelly doughnuts but they're waaay easier and so spinningly yumful!  :)

Allison's family has a few food allergies so many of her recipes are also soy-free, corn-free, flaxseed-free, nut-free and/or peanut-free too. I admire her ability to cheerfully juggle all those nutritional needs and keep her three smiley kids (and doodling hubby) happy and wellfed. Plus any mom who lets her kids wear their swimsuits on the outside of their pj's in the middle of winter just for the screaming fun of it, and then takes them shopping in those outfits just for more screaming fun, must be an allround crazycool genius of a mom.   ;)

Have Your Fill :)

Happy National Cream Filled Doughnut Day!
Filled doughnuts by the zillions are craved around the world...Bavarian Creams, Berliners, Bismarks, Bomboloni, Boston Creams, Éclairs, Koblihy, Long Johns, Pączki, Pampushky, Ponchiki, Profiteroles, Quesitos, Spurgos, Sufganiyot...stuffed with everything from jam to sesame paste to cream cheese...yes, even cookies!
Cream-filled doughnuts aren't really hard to make. Just make your favorite doughnuts and poke some holes. Use a pastry bag or snipped-tip ziploc bag to squirt in some pastry cream or frosting or whipped cream. Cover the hole with frosting or glaze...or just let the filling drip out and eat it like a messy little kid.  ;)
If you don't like cream-filled doughnuts, go crazy and fill them with whatever you like...
