I thought I would help everyone with their healthy eating and weight loss goals by reminding you that today is national donut day :p

Dunkin and many others are offering up free donuts! I think a chocolate glazed will fit well in my calories for today.

    I can't eat them due to Ciliacs, but I will be picking some up for the Hubby and kids after work today.

    I'm nowhere near a Dunkin or Krispy Kreme, but I think I'm going to see if hubby can grab us some on his way home from work. I think I can make an original glazed fit today ;)

    I don't know if anyone here lives near a Wawa, but I'm a member of their rewards program and their app notified me last night that I can get a free donut!
    I'll actually be stopping by Dunkin today though to try their new coffee, but in my opinion donuts just aren't worth the calories, they just make me feel miserable. Who wants my free donut? x)

    Ditto. Someone can have mine, too!

    I just had a Boston Cream that someone brought into the office this morning. You have to indulge every once in awhile!

    I've reached the point where I'll pass on most donuts (calories are better spent on gelato ;) ), but, in honor of today, I picked up an Oreo iced coffee and a Chips Ahoy! crunch donut from my local DD.

    Every bite and sip was delicious :)

    There are donuts in my office. I took one and may or may not eat it. It's 360 calories! I wrapped it up and put it out of sight until I decide if it's worth it or not! Thank God it's not a krispie Kreme glazed with the white filling inside. I have no self control around that donut.

    Oh I forgot about the specialty ones. Last year I got the Oreo donut. Holy wow

    *kicks rocks*

    Apparently, Canada did not participate in WW1, so we don't get free donuts.

    Stupid holiday.

    I thought about getting a crazy doughnut at some fancy places in Brooklyn or Manhattan but have decided I'd rather have wine and ice cream.

    I made some that I think were even lower than that.
    Those were like cinnamon buttermilk or something.
    I've made gingerbread donuts and chocolate peanut butter donuts.

    While searching for that recipe, I found this:

    (for the record, I am not at all anti-fried donut. just anti-me frying them. I'd burn myself lol)

    I've never baked anything in my life. I'm getting anxiety just thinking about clicking on the link.

    As those of my friends list saw me post earlier:


    Conversation this morning:

    Him: Welcome to Dunkin Donuts can I take your order.
    Me: Can I have an extra large coffee with half and half and caramel swirl.
    Him: No problem, would you like a free donut.
    Me: Nah, no thanks.

    Wait, what's wrong with me??????

    I was then informed it was National donut day. Everyone but me knew that.

    lol come on! Actually I wouldn't have known if Lishie hadn't posted it.

    I'm very tempted to stop at FROST (a donut place near me) and get some donuts...but I've been eating pretty bad lately and probably shouldn't add to it...although I may be in Portland in the next week or two and there's no way I'll pass up Voodoo.

    And I could have your donuts, because they're gluten free, but noooooo you have to live all far away and everything.

    So here I sit. No donuts on donut day. Because commercial frozen gluten free donuts I can buy? Are just sad.

    I'm about 80 miles from a DD or Krispy Kreme, so no free donuts for me today. :(

    I was traveling out east recently and visited DD's all over the place (don't worry, I fit them in my calories or 'borrowed' from other days to fit them in my calories). Not a single DD on the east coast seems to have ingredients to make my favorite donut - butternut. What is the story with this butternut shortage?!
