Maple Glazed Krispy Kreme Donuts

For some donut treats, you can try this Krispy Kreme-style Maple Glazes Donuts. To make the dough, just add warm milk and a bit of sugar and mix all together. Add the yeast, eggs, and melted butter and blend it all up, then add flour little by little. Let the dough rise in the fridge to make it easier to work with. As for the glaze, add Trader Joe's Maple Butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Once you rolled the dough, cut out the donuts and the donut holes. And then fry the donuts. Once done, dip them into the hot glaze.

Breakfast Egg Hash

Breakfast Egg Hash courtesy of Cup of Jo. For this recipe, you need TJ Frozen Shredded Hash Browns, cooking oil, TJ Citterio cubed pancetta, six (6) eggs, TJ shredded Mexican cheese, TJ pico de gallo salsa (mild), avocado (sliced), scallions, and salt and pepper.

Fry the frozen hash brown until brown and crispy. Then layer them on a big dish. After that, cook the cubed pancetta until crispy, and set aside the oil for later use. Put the pancetta on a plate with a paper towel to remove excess oil.

In the reserved pancetta oil, cook the eggs. Scramble them a bit and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat off before sprinkling the eggs with grated cheese. Cover the pan for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Using a spatula, layer the eggs onto the hash browns before sprinkling the crispy pancetta on top. Lastly, layer with pico de gallo (liquid removed), avocado, and sliced scallions.
