Red Raspberry for Fertility...Bunny Style
In order to get my ute in shape for the upcoming IUI, I know I should be eating lots of fertility-enhancing things like pineapples and owls and whatever the fuck. I've heard red raspberry tea is the shit, but I couldn't bring myself to actually buy a box. (Or borrow a few DOZEN from Lady Pumpkin.) But then I realized that Other Pathways are open to me. Namely, raspberry jelly doughnuts with lavender sugar. (In case you were wondering what to do with that lavender in your garden.) Mr. Bunny and I made them last night. (He does the deep fat frying in our househhold.) I figured I should let you in on my amazing secret for tons of babies, and also provide a little disgusted frisson for those of you who are into clean living.
Tomorrow's my ultrasound, so let's hope nothing horribly disappointing happens. Not that it could, what with my doughnut treatment and all.

I've been obsessed with raspberry leaf tea ever since Secret Sloper hypothesized that it was responsible for her 13mm lining, haha. But this is a MUCH better way to get it into the diet, yum.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK tomorrow. Hoping for good follie action and great fluffy lining and the bloodwork to back it all up. xo
That looks amazing! Good luck at the ultrasound!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you made these! They look gorgeous and delish and, most importantly, fertilitastic. I believe every family needs a resident deep-fryer; N is ours. Thanks for the shout-out! I hope you know you can drop by for fertilitea any time, but you'd better act fast; I polished off the first box last night--a mere five remain! Hope your ultrasound is picture-perfect tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, that looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteJaysus, you're making a hungry woman *drool* over here. Can you send an overnight shipment to my house, please? After you've consumed your own therapeutic quantity of deep-fried baby-making doughballs, that is. Nom.
ReplyDeleteThose sure look yummy. Better than eating owls, I'll say. I think you're heading for ultrasound bliss after eating those. Full of raspberries and lavender indeed!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope it goes well.
Once again, your baking prowess astounds.
ReplyDeleteThe tea tastes like shit, and probably is just another scam on us pathetic infertile ladies. Just eat these, and you will at least be happy at your u/s.
WANT. WANTWANTWANT!!
ReplyDeleteHey, we might be cycle-buddies. My follie scan is tomorrow, too!
Egad, I'm an idiot. I was wondering how you would make those, because "wouldn't it be tough to make a ball of jelly and then how do you get the dough to stick to it before you fry it? What a mess that would...."
ReplyDeleteOH. Right. Fry then fill. Right?
Those are shining beacons of perfection. Mmmmmm. Suddenly, I have an urge to bake, too!! I have been meaning to make pineapple upside down cake, and perhaps this afternoon is just the occasion!
ReplyDeleteIf those donuts don't do the trick this cycle, then no amount of herbal remedies can.
Bunny, I am going to move to Ohio if you keep that up. I am drooling. My latest snake oil is royal jelly. That in honey is delicious, though. It would be even better in a doughnut!
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes for your lining. Say howdy to wandy for me.
I hated the red raspberry leaf tea, but those look delicious. Enjoy and good luck.
ReplyDeleteI am totally impressed! They look sooo good and pretty. Good luck with your scan, let me know if the jelly donut regimen helps, I think it might catch on and we will all be eating donuts in the RE's waiting room :)
ReplyDeleteOh delisious doughnuts!!!!! Now I have another excuse to eat them. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! Lavender sugar!!! Genius!!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that eating raspberry doughnuts to assist conception wouldnt even come close to the strangest thing i've done to try and get pregnant!
That looks so yummy! I hope it works. LOL at eating owls.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Here's hoping for great scan results!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live again? I want some of those!
ReplyDeletemmm! post the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI kinda wanna roll myself up in some lavender sugar right now! Mmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with the scan, Bunny!
Those are absolutely NOMTASTIC. Could you please send a plate my way? Or at least post the recipe so that my husband can make me some? (He is also the deep fryer in our household).
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for tomorrow.
I want those donuts. Ever since the surgery all I have wanted to eat is sweets (unusual for me).
ReplyDeleteOMG. I am so impressed that you made these! Thinking of you and hoping the ultrasounds went well.
ReplyDeleteMe. Want. Raspberry. Donut.
ReplyDeleteNOW!!!!!!!!
Best fertility advice EVER!
