Sweet Treat: Pumpkin Doughnut


Did y'all see the "Treat Yo Self" episode of Parks and Recreation a few weeks ago? It's what I say in my head now anytime I grab a midday latte or an after-work snack, then I sing this.

Anyway, this week that treat was a glazed pumpkin doughnut topped with crunchy spiced pumpkin seeds from Doughnut Plant. And as we all know, pumpkins and doughnuts are two of the world's greatest treasures.

Have a lovely weekend! I'm hosting a dinner party tonight and hanging out with some of my favorite NYC lady bloggers tomorrow! What are you up to?

    oh yum. That looks amazing.

    The "treat-yourself" episode was hilarious. My husband and I walked around shops that weekend randomly pointing out objects and saying "treat - yourself."


    Man, that is so much dorkier sounding now that I wrote it :) I hope you have a great weekend

    Yummy DONUTS! I will be forever grateful that you introduced me to Mighty O donuts in Greenlake (Seattle). Hope to see photos of your dinner party. Is it true that "what happens at blogger parties stays at blogger parties"?

    This made me giggle as I have made more than one "Treat Yoself" reference this week. (Another fun size candy bar? "Treat Yoself!")

    Also, that doughnut looks delicious.
