Chefast Donut Pan Set Review

We love doughnuts! Do you spell out donut, or doughnut? I always spelled it the longer way doughnut, but I see donut more and more. They both seem acceptable according to google.

Recently I got Chefast Donut Pan Set to Review. It's $16.90 on Amazon. If you don't like bigger donuts, you can get their small donut pan for $12.90. 

The Set Comes With:

• A silicone mold - enough to make nine donuts. 
• A silicone spatula 
• Pastry bags - 5 total

I opened up everything, and washed it in warm soapy water. It's said that they can go in the dishwasher, but the pan and spatula last longer if they get hand washed. I notice it takes awhile for silicone pans to dry - up to 2 hours. What I do is take them outside to fling the water off of them. That works great! 

Lemon Donuts:

I wanted to try something different, so I made Lemon Doughnuts. They were so good!

Tip: Put your donut pan on a metal pan or baking stone when you bake them. You won't have to clean the extra pan or stone. It will just make the silicone pan easier to grab from the stove.

I didn't pipe them in, but the pan does come with piping bags. The recipe does make 12 donuts. There is 9 spots in the pan. I dug out another donut pan to finish the job. I have to say that I like this pan better though. The fact that it's silicone, the donuts just pop out easier.

Instead I used the spatula that comes in the kit. It did a great job of getting the rest of the batter out of the mixing bowl.

Because I used coconut sugar they are not a lemony yellow. They sure did taste lemony good though!

We skipped the glaze. We just didn't need more sugar. They boys didn't mind. They gobbled them up, and asked for another. I imagine you could drizzle some melted dark chocolate on there if you'd rather.

The boys each asked for another one.

What's your favorite kind of donut?

Beanie Black Knit Ski Hat #alaskastyle Review

We got two hats to review from CacheAlaska. This is our 2nd favorite. See the previous post to see our favorite.

This hat is warm, but it hugs the head. We have small heads in our house. I can't imagine how this would work on my sister's family. They all have big heads!

Colors:

• Charcoal Grey
• Army Green
• Brown
• Navy Blue
• Black

Black is a great color because it goes with nearly everything! They sell quite a few colors in this style. It's nice to have all the options!

I got him to laugh, then we couldn't stop laughing!

Cost:

$14.99 for the regular to $22.99 for the large on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Beanie-Black-Knit-Ski-Hat/dp/B01EXRO9SY/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1499534134&sr=8-17&keywords=beanie&th=1&psc=1

I'd like to have the large to see how it feels next to the regular. Like I said, we have small heads. The regular was tight for sure. Most people should spend the extra cash to get the large.

Material:

50% Acrylic
50% Wool

The hat seems soft. My husband likes the material. It has a fleece band around it to hold the warmth in.

Wear:

• Wear it in the cold: Hiking, Fishing, Running, Walking, Hunting and more
• Women or men

I have to say that I'm not a hat person myself, but I love them on other people. Do you wear hats?

#CacheAlaska #Beanie #AlaskaStyle Review

We got two hats to review from CacheAlaska. This by far is our favorite one. We just like the way it fits. It really fits over the head and neck.

Colors:

• Grey
• Black

Call me crazy, but I like how the grey hat goes with his grey beard. Ha! Possibly to sell more they could sell a variety of colors. I'd love to see: Brown, Red, Tan, Olive Green, and Navy. I think most people have enough clothes that go with those colors.

Cost:

$11.99 on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/CacheAlaska-Slouchy-Beanie-Skull-Premium/dp/B071YCCHMD/ref=sr_1_167?ie=UTF8&qid=1507564260&sr=8-167&keywords=beanie

I felt like the cost was reasonable for sure! I was thinking we needed a lot of hats around here with Mica taking the bus, but it's been so warm in Nebraska. It has only flurried once! Usually we've had a few couple big snows.

Material:

Acrylic

The hat seems soft. My husband likes the material.

Wear:

• Cuffed and Uncuffed
• Any Season, Anywhere
• Women or men

He only wore it uncuffed, and liked it that way. He felt like it kept him warm due to the fact that it covered his whole head, and the back of his neck. He liked that it was comfortable too!

We really like this hat! I have to say that I'm not a hat person myself, but I love them on other people. Do you wear hats?

Organic Women’s Total Multi-vitamins Review

I take a daily vitamin. I'm never sure if they are effective, but they certainly have great things in them. Once I took myself off vitamins, and felt blah for a week!

Usually I get vitamins that most of us can take. Isaak however is still on a kid's vitamin until he turns 11 or 12. I think that's when we switched Mica over to adult ones. I got Organic Women’s Total Multi-vitamins to review: https://summitnutritions.com/shop/organic-womens-total-multi-vitamins by Summit Nutritions.

What These Vitamins Have in Them:

Live Probiotics

13 Different Superfoods

What the Vitamins Help With:

They help strengthen the heart, which is great because my Dad doesn't have a great heart. Genetically I could use all the help I could get in that departments.

They help make your hair less brittle. I do have thin hair, but it looks pretty healthy.

They help with skin. I don't know about you, but I get dry skin in the winter. The air is just so dry.

They build up the nails. I do have crappy nails from my allergies. It's one thing my allergist pointed out. Thanks doc.

They are GMO free, kosher, dairy free, and are vegan.

Packaging:

The bottle was in a box. There was a plastic piece over the lid holding it on, and the lid was covered with foil/paper. I opened it up, and most of the bottle was filled with cotton.

I just get tired of so much waisted packaging for pill bottles. This is my biggest no no in my book. Does it bother you how much waisted packaging there is for things?

Cost:

$29.99, but marked all the way down to $9.99! They certainly are worth the buy.

Do you take a daily vitamin?
