    By overcoming life’s challenges and being grateful for the new opportunities, Makenzie finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, seeing each day as a blessing. She wants to use her talents, passions, and opportunities to #CelebrateEveryDay and share with others how they can find fulfillment life, too.

    When she is not training or studying, Makenzie enjoys many activities. A few of them include reading, doing Bible study, spending time with family and pets, and crafting. She is also a freelance writer and pet/house sitter. Makenzie also finds it gratifying to cook for friends and family. She enjoys spending time together. 

    “There is a reason Jesus often met with people around a meal table!”

    Delicious Glazed Donuts
    Prep Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Total: 2 hours
    Servings: 18 donuts

    Ingredients

    Dough

    1 packet active dry yeast
    1/4 cup lukewarm water
    1 1/2 cups warm milk
    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    3 large eggs, room temperature
    5-5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    Shortening for frying

    Glaze

    3 cups powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    3-5 tablespoons milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. When bubbles begin to form in the yeast mixture, stir in the milk and eggs. Cut the butter into the mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, scraping sides as you stir. When a dough forms, turn the dough onto a floured surface. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, but not too much or donuts will be tough. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth. Form a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm place to let the dough rise.

    When the dough is double in size, turn out onto a floured surface and knead. Divide dough in half and cover. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes.

    In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients. Add enough milk to create a thin, pourable glaze.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment.

    Turn one half the dough onto a floured surface and roll the dough into about 1/2 inch thickness. Dust donut cutter with flour and cut out donuts. Place on baking sheet. Cover and allow the donuts to rise until doubled in size.

    Set a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Heat cooking oil in a deep-fryer or large pot to 350-375°F.

    Drop donuts into the hot oil, 1-2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, remove doughnuts and place them on the cooling rack.

    Drizzle glaze over the tops of the doughnuts while the donuts are warm but slightly cooled.

    December 18th Celebrated History

    1865 

    The U.S. Secretary of State William Seward proclaims the adoption of the 13th Amendment prohibiting slavery. The amendment was ratified by the states on December 6, 1865.

    1917 

    Congress passes the 18th Amendment and sends it to the states for ratification. The era of the “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition would soon begin.

    1958 

    Project SCORE (Signal Communication by Orbiting Relay Equipment) launched from Cape Canaveral. It was the world’s first communications satellite. Build by the U.S. Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory, the satellite contained a message from President Dwight Eisenhower that said, “This is the President of the United States speaking. Through the marvels of scientific advance, my voice is coming to you from a satellite traveling in outer space. My message is a simple one: Through this unique means I convey to you and all mankind, America’s wish for peace on Earth and goodwill toward men everywhere.”

    1963 

    The Pink Panther starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, and Robert Wagner premieres in Italy. Directed by Blake Edwards, the comedy follows the misadventures of the inept Inspector Clouseau as he tries to catch a jewel thief.

    1968 

    CBS airs the animated adaption of Dr. Suess’s How the Grinch Stole Chrismas for the first time.

    December 18th Celebrated Birthdays 

    Walter D. Teague – 1883

    Considered the “Dean of Industrial Design,” Teague’s pioneering influence helped establish the industrial design profession. He made his first forays into industrial design with Eastman Kodak, designing several cameras. From there, many more corporate clients followed including Boeing, Maxwell House, UPS, DuPont, and NASA.

    Ty Cobb – 1886

    The center fielder played 24 seasons in professional baseball, most of those years with the Detroit Tigers. Known for being an all-around baseball player, he could hit, run and field. He earned 11 batting titles during his career and held numerous records at his retirement.

    Yvonne Cormeau – 1909

    As an agent with the Special Operations Executives, Cormeau parachuted into German-occupied France to supply wireless communications back to London. She was almost arrested but managed to convince the Germans that her wireless was an x-ray machine. During her World War II service, she successfully transmitted more than 400 messages.

    Benjamin O. Davis – 1912

    During World War II, Davis organized and commanded the Tuskegee Airmen. In 1950, he became the first African American promoted to the rank of general in the United States Air Force. He was promoted to full general in 1998.

    Jacques Pépin – 1935

    The award-winning chef has been honored in his native France and by his adopted United States for his many contributions to the culinary world.

    Steven Spielberg – 1946

    The director has earned both critical and popular acclaim throughout his career. From E.T and the Indiana Jones series to historical dramas like Lincoln and Amistad, Spielberg never seems to disappoint the audience.

    APRIL HOLIDAYS AND HISTORY

    April is the fourth month of the year and consists of 30 days on the Grеgоrіаn саlеndаr and іtѕ рrеdесеѕѕоr, the Julіаn саlеndаr. Itѕ nаmе is derived from thе Latin wоrd aperit, which means “tо ореn.”  In the Northern Hemisphere, April is a part of the growing season. The sun warms the earth, awakening the plants and blossoms and leaves “open” bright and new. It is аlѕо bеlіеvеd thаt the mоnth’ѕ nаmе is named after the Greek gоddеѕѕ, Aphrodite (Aphros). 

    April wasn’t always the fourth month. Originally, the Roman calendar placed the month second, though it still соnѕіѕtеd оf 30 dауѕ. It became the fourth mоnth соnѕіѕtіng оf only 29 dауѕ when January wаѕ dеѕіgnаtеd thе fіrѕt month of thе уеаr around 450 BCE. Aрrіl became 30 dауѕ lоng again whеn Julius Cаеѕаr rеfоrmеd thе calendar.

    Weather & Seasons

    April is the second month of spring and оn the lірѕ оf many is the оld saying “Aрrіl ѕhоwеrѕ bring May flowers.” Thе сhіllу wіndѕ аnd damp wеаthеr аrе nоt yet done.

    April’s full moon is called the Pink Moon and represents the pink phlox flower that blooms in April. When the Pink Moon is also the first full moon of spring it is called the Paschal moon.

    April is also a terrific month for sports. The official baseball season begins. Golf gets into the swing of things, too plus basketball and hockey are in the midst of their regular season. Professional soccer is heading toward season finales.
