Thread: What's cooking for your side dishes?

Drain them in a pie dish on a paper towel until you have the whole can used up. Then mix up powder sugar about 1/2 cup to 1 cup add just about a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla & just enough milk to mix altogether, if you get to much milk in the sugar mixture just add enough powder sugar to make a soft smooth mixture. You then drizzle the mixture over the donuts let them set about 5 to 8 minutes before eating. They are wonderful. * I sometimes cook them after I cook my crappie instead of before, especially with new oil. If you need any help let me know.:o

Thanks Roadrunner I am going to try this!!!!

Boy, it's universal, isn't it? Sweet fried dough like that idea from Roadrunner for fried biscuits in a can (yeah, we're trying that one), hushpuppies, frybread, etc. There isn't a culture in the world tha tdoesn't have some version of fried dough. And they're all good. - Roberta

I usually make up some pasta salad. Elbow Maccaroni, English Peas, Extra Sharp Cheddar (shreded) and some Bacon Bits. Put it all in a bowl and use just enough Mayo (Helman's) to lightly cover everything. Chill two hours before serving for better flavor, but you can eat it right away if you want to. The only problem is you need a fork or spoon to eat it with. :D Fish, Hushpuppies and pasta salad, life is good!
