For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]

What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]

Firstly, I LOL’d that you admit to reading steamy vampire books. Secondly I LOL’d again that you took from that book the food, not the smut. And thirdly I so want to make these, but I will not share them with my child, he would just think about smutty vampire books right?
I don’t need these, but I do so want one! Be right over for coffee & to borrow your book!
I made some of these last year, and my kids couldnt get enought! Although mine were not as pretty as yours!
I finally had to put away the recipe and ingrediants becuase we were getting fatter!
Love you blog!
These look fabulous and easy! I’ve always wanted to try Beignets also!
Isn’t funny how books inspire us to try new things 🙂

P.S. Thanks for stopping by!
A colleague and I were working near the French Quarter. He arrived late that night and was wired, so we walked to Cafe du Monde after he settled into his room. The beignets and cocoa were hot and fresh at 1 a.m.; not nearly as good 12 hours later. Although, I have to admit there is nothing as memorable as repeating the snack under an oak tree reading one of New Orleans’ best novels.
I’ve never made these myself but have had them @ Cafe Du Monde’s more times than I can count. Love them with New Orleans Chicory coffee. Yours look perfect.

I ate them once at Cafe’ du Monde, but I’ve never made them!! Way to go! Yours look fabulous!!
Oh I can just taste these looking at your photos. Love these!! I may have to give these a try.
This recipe is dangerous! I have wanted to try those beignets forever. I’ve never been to New Orleans but that place is gonna be my first stop if I ever go!
I’ve never made beignets but I’ve had many of them at Cafe du Monde and they are SO good! Very dangerous and SO delicious. Beautiful job! They are definitely the real thing!
They turned out perfect and yummy! I prefer to bake them instead of frying!
My favorite part of visitng the French Quarter when we went to New Orleans was the Beignets!! Thanks for sharing these look so delicious. Stopping by from TGIF Linky.

Hi Erin,
These really bring back some wonderful memories of sitting in the Cafe Du Monde with friends and having Beignets, oh yes. I am so happy to have the recipe, we will sure enjoy them very soon! Hope you are having a great spring week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I don’t think I’ve tasted Beignets and these definitely look like something I’d looooooooooove to eat
This would go great with a cup of coffee.
I just tasted these for the first time last night oh yum!! So I am so excited to have a recipe!! Thank you, thank you!! Perfect timing. You must have been inspired for my sake!! Also what is the title of that book!! I must read it!!
I’ve always wanted to try making Beignets, thanks for sharing at Sweet & Simple Sunday!
I’ve tried this recipe (long, long ago – before I started blogging) and I know how awesome it is!!! Thanks for sharing it… Going to make it again soon! 🙂
My husband and I took a trip to N.O. before the kids were born and had the best time. I agree, licking the sugar from those beignets is heavenly. Yours look just as I remember them 🙂
Wow – I’ve never seen anything like these before, but they look fantastic!
These look delicious! I’ve never seen these before, but I can’t wait to try them. Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
I LOVE beignets, and don’t make them nearly enough. Yours look fantastic!
I’ve never had these, but they look delicious…..and as I southern girl myself, I know anything fried with sugar on top is a winner. I need to come to your house so you can make me some! Thanks for dropping by Your Cozy Home Party to teach all of us how to make these at our own home.
Hi,
I followed you over from Wow Me Wednesday and I absolutely love these! I was in New Orleans 16 years ago but I can still taste the coffee and Beignets from Cafe Du Monde. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to invite you to share this, and any other posts you would like to, at my Creative Thursday Link Party at http://www.michellestastycreations.blogspot.com. (Link up until Monday 4-23-12)
Have a great day,
Michelle
Lol, you’re so funny! Your post made me laugh. Of course, these beignets do sound yummier when licked off a hunky guy (or vampire)’s finger 🙂
Where would I add the salt and sugar? I see it listed in the ingredients, but I don’t see where to put them during the process.
Well I’m a dork. Sorry about that Twinmomma+1. I fixed it!
I’m curious – what were the books?
I love that I’m getting a bunch of emails asking what books they were! You guys rock! They were the Argeneau Series by Lynsay Sands =o)
Can this recipe be baked in the oven? Or would I need a different recipe? My brother, who’s 13, wants to try beignets, but I’m not too fond of frying.
I am seriously missing out as I’ve never had a beignet before. Thank you for sharing your recipe. They look delicious.
