One of the books we checked out this week was, Please DO Feed the Bears, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. It is an adorable story about a bear family getting ready to head to the beach for a picnic...or so they think. With a little "help" they find themselves hungry and without the yummy lunch they anticipated. My kids enjoyed watching the story unfold, and eating this easy lunch we made using several of the food items donated to the bears in their distress.
I would have loved to take this meal TO the beach, but our weather was crazy. We settled for our backyard sandbox. Having the meal at home allowed us to indulge in a batch of special doughnuts, so I don't think the kids were disappointed at ALL! :-)
Quick and easy doughnuts:
1 tube of Pillsbury Grands (We used the Southern style)
Nice hot oil
powdered or cinnamon sugar
Separate biscuits, cut out a hole, and flatten. This will allow them to cook all the way through so you don't end up with burned outside and doughy middle.
Gently place in oil and be ready to flip. These babies cook up FAST! Remove when golden brown on both sides. (See how nicely they puff up?)
Place on a paper towel for a few seconds to remove extra oil. Have the kids shake them in a paper bag or plate of their favorite sugar, and enjoy!
We made a great memory together. I know they will remember this book and our time together for years to come!
