    Why we love these Red White and Blue Donuts

    Oh, Memorial Day. It's coming guys. Hopefully I'll be spending it drinking mimosas on a boat at the sandbar in Key Biscayne, but then comes 4th of July not soon after.

    July 4th is that day when we embrace everything we love about our country - and momentarily forget those things we don't love quite so much. Firecrackers, barbecues, beers and buddies - it's what the 4th of July is all about!

    In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, egg, water and oil. Mix well by hand until all lumps are gone.

    Divide batter into three equal portions. Place two portions in a small bowl and one in a sealable bag. Add red and blue food coloring to each bowl to tint the batter.
