Donuts are my happy place. I remember growing up on the swim team during the summer months of my adolescence and my mom would buy all of us a dozen donuts from the grocery store and I would eat probably 8 of them. And then go swim. I couldn’t get enough of donuts. And I had no idea what they were doing to my insides and in turn, showing up on the outside. Alas, that love for gluten dissipated but the love for donuts still burns bright. Luckily, I’ve been able to find some gluten free donuts at home and when traveling. BUT, I like making them and keeping them at home in the freezer so I can have one whenever I want one and I know exactly what is in it!
If you haven’t been on my site very long, you probably don’t know this but I have LOTS of donut recipes, since this obsession has gone on for years. Click here to check them all out! And then make all of them! Because they are so delish! And YES, investing in a mini donut maker is TOTALLY worth it. I found the one I own for only $12!
But enough about donuts! Let’s talk about real life going on over here! Because it’s been extremely busy lately. I feel like I’m home for just a couple days then I have to head back out again. I’m pretty much living out of a suitcase. A suitcase I hate. I need to get a new one ASAP. I just got back from San Francisco on Friday night and I leave to see a friend in Idaho on Thursday morning. But one thing I’ve started to love all because of traveling is PODCASTS!! After starting my own, now I want to listen to them all the time. On my flight, while walking around the airport, while walking my dog, while driving anywhere, or just instead of watching TV. I first started with Serial because EVERYONE recommended it then I moved on to Accused. Then I ended up watching 3 documentaries on Netflix about murder mysteries, like the Amanda Knox documentary. That stuff is so interesting…but so so so so depressing. And now I’m constantly having nightmares. One nightmare I woke up from and felt like I couldn’t move. Like I was actually debilitated from fear in my dream. That’s effed up.
So, obviously, it’s time to move on to new podcasts. Some happy go lucky kind of podcasts. Like Girls Gone Wod. And whatever else you guys recommend. Is there any podcast you’re obsessed with right now!? I need something new for my flight to Idaho! My husband even bought me noise cancelling headphones yesterday…which are crazy by the way! You seriously can’t hear anything around you. How amazing are those going to be when there is a screaming baby on the flight?! AMAZING!

I think you would like ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’.
YES I came here to recommend that one as well. Nothing but laughing out loud the entire time.
Where do you get espresso powder?
you can find it in the grocery store in the same aisle as the coffee. if you don’t find it there, use Starbucks’ instant coffee, VIA. i highly recommend the Italian Roast for these kinds of recipes. Cafe Bustelo also sells instant coffee, and it’s good too.
Awesome! Thanks 🙂
I am super into this podcast called “In The Dark” – it is all about the Jacob Wetterling kidnapping. I loved Serial and I love this one too – but I also am from Minnesota so I grew up hearing all about that kidnapping. Spooky but great!!! And the podcast “Guys We F****d” is fun! Light-hearted and slightly inappropriate but very entertaining. I would also recommend downloading Audible – audiobooks. Sooooo great too!!!! Enjoy 🙂
I love The Lively Show and Happier with Gretchen Rubin
I’ve been reading your blog for a while and never commented but I must say that I love your sense of humor and writing style!!! Your snap chats are also so entertaining so I hate that you get so much grief about it!! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re awesome!
Can I use freshly brewed coffee that is cold or does cold brew coffee make these that much more delicious?
cold brew has a little stronger taste since it’s concentrated but you could definitely use regular brewed coffee
I love podcasts and so happy I get to read what other people’s favorites are! My [long] list:

Omg … real quick before Podcast talk … I just started the Amanda Knox documentary last night and made myself turn it off so I could go to bed, of course had a nightmare about it and then put on Friends so I could fall asleep. Holy shit is it good!! Poscasts… besides the usual ones, I have recently gotten into Christy Wright’s Business Boutique and Monday Peach (because sometimes we need help with adult things like running a biz and budgeting your dinero). I also like Fed & Fit (duh) and am always on the lookout for new ones! They were a life saver on the red eye back from Maui last week (babies DO NOT like to be on dark planes at 2am … weird). I am so trying some of the other ones that are mentioned here!! Thanks for the donut recipe … these are going down this weekend!!

You have to listen to the Undisclosed podcast! Like right now! (If you haven’t already). It’s like the follow up to Serial, and even better, in my opinion. It’s Rabia Chaudry (Adnon’s best friend’s older sister who got Sarah to investigate the case which became the Serial podcast), along with two other attorney’s, and they dig deeper into Adnon’s case and uncover SO much more about the evidence, or lack thereof, police misconduct, and everything else that went wrong with that case. Some of the stuff they figure out is even more unbelievable than what Sarah brought to light in Serial. I couldn’t stop listening. Anywhoo, I am also loving YOUR podcast, and can’t wait for more. I don’t know how you do it all, but I’m glad you do. I’m cooking my way through your most recent cookbook and loving everything I’ve tried so far. So thank you for your hard work and being real. Your snaps are the first I watch too. You make me laugh everytime. :). Ok, novel finished.
listening now!! thank you so much for the recommendation! and for the support!!!
…And just like that I own a donut maker…haha! Can’t wait to make these!
