Krispy Kreme Donuts

A wise man once said, a flute without holes is  not a flute and a donut without a hole is a danish. Ty Webb Caddyshack. 

Remember when the twin cities had Krispy Kreme Donuts? We ate them pretty often, they were so good...they would just melt in your mouth. I haven't had a Krispy Kreme donut since they went out of business.

My parents just got back from Omaha, NE visiting family and friends. Omaha, still has Krispy Kreme Donuts. The other day, my mom called (from Omaha) and asked if she should bring some donuts back for us. At first I said no, but then quickly changed my mind. I knew Ben and the boys would want them. Today, my parents brought the donuts to our house. I wanted to eat one so bad...but I told myself that I would be fine and better off not eating one. But...all day long they (the donuts) kept calling out to me. I believe that this was the first time I have resisted a donut...I am very proud of myself.

I need to fine a gluten free donut recipe! I will let you know when I find one.

Meals:
Breakfast - Green drink with raisin toast
Lunch - Quinoa with veggies (yes, I need to find other lunch options. I want to make my own bread so I can have sandwiches again) Yes, I can buy gluten free bread, but it will be fun to be able to make my own.
Dinner - I made Chicken Curry. I got this recipe from Jenn Rhyner. She made it the best.

Chicken Curry Recipe

1/2 onion sliced
1-2 tbsp of olive oil
Chicken - you can use a cut up whole chicken, or 2-3 cups diced chicken. I used left over chicken from our dinner the other night. Sometimes I buy a rotisserie chicken and dice that up.
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp tumeric
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/2 c chicken stock
handful of chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
dash of red pepper flakes

Directions:
Saute onions in olive oil in a large sauce pan. When onions start to become translucent, add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, and tumeric. Stir together. Next add the chicken. Cook until chicken is done (unless you added pre-cooked chicken) then wait until warmed through. Stir in the yogurt and then wait until it separates and then add the chicken stock. Let the chicken stock reduce and let the mixture thicken. Add the rest of the ingredients and serve over rice. makes 4 servings.

I served it with naan bread (an Indian flat bread) you can find it in most stores by the baked goods. I bake it in the oven 400 degrees about 15-20 minutes. I, of course, didn't have any, but Ben, Owen and Lia did. Ben eats his with butter and cinnamon sugar.

Another day of feeling good. It is now 9:00 pm and I have been awake since 5:00 am (due to a screaming child...Landen) and I still didn't need a nap. I am of course tired, but not exhausted like I used to be.
