Do you know what today is??? It’s National Donut Day! My nieces are still in town and I’ve been hanging this day over their heads so that they will behave the whole week. *insert sinister laugh* I love creating special memories with my nieces where we bond over sweets.

Many bakeries and donut chains are giving away free donuts today. Dunkin Donuts is giving away a free donut with purchase. But Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts (the light doesn’t even have to be on) with no purchase necessary. You don’t have to buy a thing. Although you always end up buying something else because one is never enough.

You can also celebrate National Donut Day by making your own donuts. It’s super easy. Try this donut recipe with only using 2 ingredients. It’s the one I use when I’m with my nieces. It’s’ quick and simple. They love it.

I hope you put that diet on hiatus for today and indulge (I plan to) in this holiday.

What are your favorite donuts?
