Sometimes you just gotta donut. Lucky for me, this was a local, organic, well-portioned, made-from-scratch donut dough-nated by our neighbors at Carpe Donut! I found a small paper bag of them at the bakery and satisfied all cravings in 5 bites!
Matt and I spent a good portion of the afternoon at the Charlottesville Radio Group recording commercials (our voices are heard by thousands! scary!) and then I did a photo shoot for an upcoming newspaper ad. FYI, Great Harvest makes perfect Mother’s Day and Teacher gifts!
Snack #2 (the healthy one) was a handful of almonds.
While I munched, I rested the bowl on my stomach and actually saw it bounce a few times! Baby kickin’ little footballs!
For cocktail hour, I met up for a post-work walk with my friend Eileen and got to see her brand new house!
And then back at home, I was thrilled to have a heat n eat dinner to look forward to. This was a combination of leftover Minestrone “soup” and last night’s pork plus a generous portion of goat cheese.
It tasted good at first, but by the time I got down to the last few bites I declared I never wanted to eat this again. Too much….seasoning or something.
So I washed it all down with my latest drink – Raspberry Lemonade diluted 1:4 with water!
Pleasant dinner on the porch, followed by reading on the porch, followed by two shivering people on the porch!
Inside and winding down.

I’ve been on a goat cheese kick lately…kick! 🙂

The photos look beautiful from the photo shoot! So fun!

Cupcakes>>>>Donuts.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Gorgeous lemonade pictures.
And funny how last night the pork was the best ever, and tonight, it gets the never again. A combo of pregnancy and moods (and seasonings) it sounds like…I have foods like that, too. Sometimes I LOVE them and other times I think, WHAT was I thinking making this…haha!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Your Great Harvest photos look awesome! And that’s so cool that you got to do a radio commercial.
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Enjoyable evening- especially watching the bowl bounce! 🙂 Aw!
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says

Thank you so much for your blog!! It has not only inspired me in many ways but also my family!! I live in Ohio, and I never thought there would be a Great Harvest here..until one day!! I was driving to the store and basically ran into the car in front of me because I saw a sign for Great Harvest!! I screamed!! I went in and bought 3 loaves and told them how I found out because of your blog, the owner reads your blog as well!! It was like some little world moment!! Anyways, I took some bread to my parents and they LOVED it! And now when my mom goes to her location she send me a picture of the bread!! So thank you so much!! I know what I will be getting her for Mother’s day:)

Haha… Small world! Glad you are a convert 🙂
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
I had a donut for breakfast yesterday, I baked them the night before with condensed milk, and it was worth every calorie and gram of sugar!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
I am sadly not a donut person…but my dad loves em and I am sure he would appreciate a special homemade one like that!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
That donut looks good!! And how cool, a radio commercial! Haha that will be so weird to randomly hear your own voice on the radio!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
i’m not one for donuts, but that one sure does look good!
Katie @ Creature of Habit says
I don’t think I’ve had a donut in ages. Will had one the other day and asked if I wanted the rest. I said sure and asked where it was. “Oh, the trash can,” he said. “But it’s still in it’s bag.”
I do not need to be the girl who ate half a donut out of the trash can. Half a donut, maybe. But out of the trash can is stepping over into unacceptable territory.
Virginia Bloggers says
How fun!!! I want to hear the commercial 🙂
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Love all those bread pics!!!
jojo says
Donuts were one of my cravings when I was pregnant, I tried my best to control my self.. 😛
The photos look great, I wish I lived near your bakery! I would be over there all the time!

It’s not Spring/Summer without strawberry and/or raspberry lemonade! 🙂 I had my first one at the beginning of April and need to pick up some more!
Aaaand now you’ve got me craving doughnuts! 🙂
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
I had the same exact thing happen to me today with the baby kicking, except mine was my laptop…scared me at first! Isn’t it great, though? 🙂
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Mmmm that lemonade sounds yummy!
j3nn says
I’ve been craving a donut lately. I should probably use my donut maker or donut pan that I haven’t tried yet. 🙂
Khushboo says
Despite my mega sweet tooth, donuts are just too sweet for me…although that one sure looks good!
Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon says
Hehe I wrote a post about my craving for donuts yesterday…which was left unfulfilled :/
mary @ minutespermile says

Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
That donut looks great! I love a good donut 🙂
Lara F. says
If I lived anywhere near you, I’d buy my mom (who would share with me…) tons of your GH products for Mother’s Day! 🙂
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
The photos on the porch are always so pretty!
Whitney says
I got to spend last Saturday wandering around Charlottesville – including the farmer’s market and your store! I bought a loaf of C-Ville Crunch from your wonderful and kind employee at the market ((I was SO glad to find it!) and have been enjoying it and a container of your pimento cheese from the store ever since. Your bread is amazing and so is your staff! Both the girl at the market and the girls/boy in the store were very kind and helpful! They even recommended I pick up one of those Apple Donuts. Have you had it as an ice cream sandwich?!?! Thanks for a wonderful gastro and customer service experience!
KathEats says
Thanks so much for the feedback Whitney! Ellen was at the market – she got engaged the night before and I hear she was all smiles 🙂 Glad you loved the bread + pimento cheese! My two favorites!! Come back soon.

You made me laugh when you mentioned about the baby kicking little almond footballs off your belly 🙂

Quite possibly the best dietitian’s blog post title ever. 😉
Nikki T says
I did the same thing last night with my dinner…steak, taters and cesar salad…it was all good until the last couple bites- take it away now, never want to eat it again…! Crazy pregnancy quirks…!
Lauren says
I love those blue ball jars! Where did you find them?
