National Donut Day

Remember how I love donuts? Remember how I craved them during my first pregnancy? Fortunately for my blood sugar, this time around I don't need a daily dose of donut. But that didn't stop me from partaking in National Donut Day again this year. 

Ham and cheese croissant, jelly roll, and a big DDP with easy ice. Probably excessive but HELLO -- it's a HOLIDAY. Yum.

Scarlett loves her glazed donut holes. I love that she loves them too, but I'll be honest, she's kind of a beast for the next few hours after eating all that sugar.

    

P.S. Dear Sonic -- please explain to me how this is "easy on the ice." 

Happy National Donut Day!

I craved donuts when I was pregnant. Like, had to have one every day kind of craving. When I found out I didn't have gestational diabetes, I celebrated with two donuts. My husband says it wasn't really a craving, it was just a habit, but what does he know?

Do you know about National Donut Day? (Or "doughnut" if you're fancy) According to Wikipedia, it started in 1938 "as a fund raiser for Chicago's The Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers."

So really, this is about patriotism. It's my duty to honor this holiday and I do so with pride.

I can never decide between a donut or a sausage roll, so sometimes I get both.

Who doesn't love the donut shop? I'm quite partial to Daylight Donuts as it is the donut shop of my youth. Stop by if you ever find yourself in Jenks, OK (Jenks, America as the locals call it).
