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.
love the pink of the lemonade – so pretty!
I’ve been on a goat cheese kick lately…kick! 🙂
The photos look beautiful from the photo shoot! So fun!
Cupcakes>>>>Donuts.
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!
Your Great Harvest photos look awesome! And that’s so cool that you got to do a radio commercial.
Enjoyable evening- especially watching the bowl bounce! 🙂 Aw!
What a full afternoon you had!! That donut looks so yummy!
I plan to make out youth intern make a donut pitstop on our way home from camping with the kiddos this weekend 🙂 one day I’ll make it to C’Ville 🙂
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 🙂
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!
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!
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!
i’m not one for donuts, but that one sure does look good!
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.
How fun!!! I want to hear the commercial 🙂
Love all those bread pics!!!
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! 🙂
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? 🙂
Mmmm that lemonade sounds yummy!
I’ve been craving a donut lately. I should probably use my donut maker or donut pan that I haven’t tried yet. 🙂
Despite my mega sweet tooth, donuts are just too sweet for me…although that one sure looks good!
Hehe I wrote a post about my craving for donuts yesterday…which was left unfulfilled :/
donuts! love them. i have to walk by a krispy kreme daily en route to work. it’s pretty dangerous…
That donut looks great! I love a good donut 🙂
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! 🙂
The photos on the porch are always so pretty!
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!
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. 😉
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…!
I love those blue ball jars! Where did you find them?
