Thanks for the offer, Leah. I don't really do the sugar-free thing, though. They never taste as good, and they still have enough carbs to do wacky things to my blood sugar.

Reba, I have no idea what the big deal is over Krispy Kreme. They're more expensive, harder to find and smaller than Dunkin or any other brand of donut.

Of course, in a pinch... :D

I think the thing about Krispy Kreme is that they're warm when you get them. Soft, warm, delicious. Honestly, if you pick them up at another store (they are sold at several convenience and grocery stores here), they just aren't the same.

I'm a fan of Dunkin' Donuts, too.

DO you use splenda? My dad is diabetic and my mom and sisters and I have learned how tocook with it.
 
  • #356
Yeah, I've used Splenda. Still not the same. And, you have to add sugar of some sort to get baked goods to brown. (Most Splenda recipes call for a bit of molasses.)
 
  • #357
I can't have splenda.... makes me sick to my tummy..... but I make cookies for my dad at Christmas time.... but I agree with you it's just not the same.

Ok I will probably get some flack for this but I never got the "krispy Kreme thing" try not being a fan and living in NC? I totally understad it was a big tradition for lots of people growing up. I just don't think they are the greatest.
I am a "dunkin donuts kinda girl. It's what I grew up on.

I think a lot of it is what epitomizes a donut for you. If you grew up on Dunkin' Donuts, that's what you brain recognizes as "real" donuts.

Case in point: I make an excellent homemade macaroni and cheese. Seriously, it's really good--. Some of my son's friends prefer the blue box stuff. It's what they grew up on. Some people prefer pancakes made from Bisquick to made-from-scratch pancakes. It's what they're used to.

well at least my lunch is on it's way..... I dont' want another day like I had yesterday...... I am holding my own though.
 
  • #366
Don't have time to read all of this...but I must admit..I've been guilty of this lately.
I'm sorry, and I don't mean to be...but most times I just have trouble getting things to come out the way they are meant and they are NOT meant mean or anything...just reads that way because I don't know how to TYPE politically.

Ya'll just know that I'm working on it...K?!

thanks..just had to get that out...not afraid to admit when I'm wrong and I have been.
