ShareHalloween is a holiday I’ve never really enjoyed in adulthood. It’s too crowded to go out, too cold to get dressed up, too expensive to buy a new costume. I usually just stay in with hot chocolate and a movie. But this year I braved the first snow storm and headed into the city. My [...]

Pumpkin Spice Doughnut Holes

October 23, 2011

ShareThe last time I was in PA I started craving apple cider doughnuts. I entertained the idea of buying doughnut holes, until checking the nutrition facts panel to find they have 110 calories just from fat. Sorry, can’t do it.
