This morning I had a strange craving for powdered donuts. Now, I usually eat pretty healthy for breakfast in the mornings, but maybe because today is Sunday I felt like doing something different. Actually, these mini donuts are baked, so they have a lot less calories than the donuts fried in oil. These mini powdered donuts remind me of the Hostess Donettes from childhood! They go great with coffee, and I love that I can eat a few of them without feeling sick afterwards. The last few times I have bought something sweet at Starbucks in the mornings I have sworn not to do it anymore because I feel so bad after
I hope you are having a nice weekend! It always go by so fast, and now I have a lot of work to do. Tomorrow I may have to give a presentation, so I will be preparing for that the rest of the day
