At some point in the history of blogging, donuts became king. And National Donut Day became its Christmas.
SO, in true blogger form, Happy National Day! May you eat all the frosted, sprinkled, fried dough in the shape of a ring that you can. And if you’re not in the US, may donuts be in your future at some point in life. Or I’ll come to you and bring you some. I’d like that very much.
ME made us some #CraftTheRainbow donuts. Get the full recipe below!
