Pumpkin Donuts with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

October 29, 2012 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Pumpkin Donuts

These delicious donuts are very dense and filling. I had two for breakfast on Sunday morning along with a glass of almond milk and was pleasantly satisfied for several hours. I suspect a donut of the unhealthy variety, with sugar and flour, would not have left me the same. No, my blood sugar would have spiked and then subsequently fallen, leaving me craving more. That's the beauty of living a low-carb lifestyle…cravings be gone! By the way, these pumpkin beauties are <2 g carbs per donut.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
