Donuts, and More Donuts

It is no secret that my family and I love sweets. The fall seems to bring out something in me that wants to bake delicious desserts and treats all the time.

Donuts are one of my favorite things to make because they are delicious any time of day. In fact, a cup of tea and a freshly baked donut is one of the best afternoon pick-me-ups I can think of.

I shared this recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Donuts over on my other blog, Frugal Family Tree. If you love donuts, buy yourself a donut pan because making them with a pan is super easy.
And so worth it, they are delicious.

I made Chocolate Donuts With Orange Glaze awhile back, too. The chocolate flavor in these donuts really stands out in this recipe, and it's a must for chocolate lovers.

Have a fabulous Friday everyone :)

Happy National Donut Day!!!

 

 

 

Today is National Donut Day, and one of my favorite days where I can indulge in my secret love without feeling bad.

 

I mean really, aren't you almost obligated to eat donuts today???

 

There were a few years back when I was a kid that I couldn't even look at a donut. The reason?

When I was nine, my parents went on a trip and left my teenaged sister in charge of me. I asked her if my best friend and I could make donuts in the kitchen. Since my sister's real interest was talking on the phone and watching TV, she casually gave me the go-ahead.

To make a long story short, my donut making involved a big pot of oil that caught on fire, putting water in that pot, and me ending up with singed hair and eye brows.

It wasn't pretty.

 

Obviously, I have put that behind me, and now eat donuts as often as my waistline allows. I would say I have more of a 'donut top' than a 'muffin top', ha-ha.

 

If you are ever in Seattle, you must visit one of my all-time favorite donut shops around. these people know how to make donuts!

 

Top Pot Doughnuts has several locations in the Seattle area, and after you visit one, you will think you have died and gone to donut heaven :)

 

Happy National Donut Day!!

 

P.S. I'm curious, what is your favorite kind of donut??
