I must confess, I have a weakness/passion for donuts, particularly doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. For this reason, my BFF, Regina, and I meet there for coffee and donuts once a week. There is nothing better than having a girlfriend chat over coffee and donuts.
Well, when we had our last chat at Krispy Kreme I decided this was a perfect subject for my next blog post. After all, who can resist all those yummy donuts? So that's when I snapped these photos for this post.
I think my favorite part about Krispy Kreme is that they make the donuts right there. So the heavenly smell of warm donuts greats you the second you walk in the door.
I can't resist a still-warm glazed donut which melts in your mouth. Ahh, just thinking about it makes me want to have one just this very minute.
Krispy Kreme has so many yummy donuts: Jelly-filled, Lemon-filled, Pumpkin Spice, Double-Dipped Chocolate, and my all-time favorite, a Chocolate-frosted Custard-filled donut.
Given a choice, I'd have donuts with my coffee every single morning. On the other hand, if I did that, I would definitely weigh more than I do now. So I'll stick with that once a week Girls' Day Out visit to Krispy Kreme.

I couldn't resist adding my short story, Jetting Away, to the above list. After all, Priscilla is having one-of-those-days where lots of coffee and some yummy donuts help her get through the day and make a life changing decision. Jetting Away is a short story prequel to my romance novel, Outback Love, but can be read as a stand-alone. Best of all, it's FREE, so I hope you'll give it a try.
JETTING AWAY - Amazon/Kindle
JETTING AWAY - Barnes&Noble/Nook
JETTING AWAY - Apple/iBookstore/iTunes
Jetting Away is also available for FREE at Sony, Kobo, Diesel and Smashwords.
As always, I hope you'll add your comments below. I'm guessing that you all love donuts and coffee too.
I think Priscilla is responsible for at least a pound I gained when reading Jetting Away, thanks to the yummy donut descriptions. Fun book though.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the Krispy Kreme in downtown Pensacola. Good way to spend a morning. :-)
Thanks, Ellis. I love your comment. I think I gained a pound or two just in writing Jetting Away. Priscilla and I both love donuts and hot fudge sundaes too. Yum! I definitely have a weakness for those Krispy Kreme donuts.
