Happy New Year! Wondering what I’m up to for 2010 since the 52 Donuts adventure has concluded? You’ll find my next project here. Not to worry, I am not abandoning the 52 Donuts blog. I will still share fun donut tidbits from last year’s adventure along with other donut information worth passing along. And when…
Welcome to 52 Sweets
Hi there! In case you don’t know me from my donut blog, here’s a little about me, how this project came about and where it is going this year. Last year, 2009, at the suggestion of my personal trainer, I decided to eat only one sweet every week. I have a hard time sticking with…
Week #52, KC to Springfield, MO
The final installment in the 52 Donuts journey needed to be spectacular. I considered many possibilities: an international donut excursion, a trip to the famed Voodoo donuts, a tour of a commercial donut facility OR a trip to Springfield! DOH! Springfield was the last easily attainable item to cross off of my dream donut list….
Week #51, The Donut Place, Kansas City, MO
As my donut adventures near an end, I wanted to find a donut shop that represents what I have come to love most about donut shops: locally owned, full of character and offering donuts made with love. That’s not the adventure I have to share. I first visited this donut shop way back in July….
Week #50, Doughnut Factory, Olathe, KS
A follower of my blog, Quentin, nearly insisted that I visit the Doughnut Factory in Olathe. In fact, he mentioned it TWICE. He even said they sometimes have warm donuts in the AFTERNOON. Right. He further boasted that they make donuts the old fashioned way. Uh huh. Sure. Of course they do, Quentin. Well, Quentin…
Week #49, Ronald’s Donuts, Las Vegas, NV
I was so hopeful I would have the opportunity to visit Ronald’s Donuts in Las Vegas during the 52 Donuts journey and work gave me the chance. Ronald’s is high on my list of donut shops ANYWHERE and it certainly deserves to have it’s own week on my blog! Ronald’s is in a strip mall…
Week #48, Sweet Al’s Donuts, Cameron, MO
I grew up just 13 miles from Sweet Al’s in Cameron, Missouri and it has been open for business since I was an itty bitty, however I had never been there. A follower of this blog had suggested Sweet Al’s and that’s good enough for me to drive an hour north to Cameron, Missouri! A…
Week #47, YUMMY Donuts, Dallas, TX
Thirty-six hours in Dallas afforded me the opportunity to visit YUMMY Donuts, a trendy donut shop mentioned to me by Jenny of Making a Foodie. As always, Jenny gave a great recommendation! Being in Dallas for such a short visit made it challenging to get everything done on my wish list. Dinner at Spiral Diner,…
Week #46, Dunkin Donuts, St. Joseph, MO
UPDATE: Dunkin Donuts in St. Joseph, Missouri closed its doors after nearly 40 years on December 27th, 2011. Instead of the usual numbered post title, I should have called this post “The Donut That Started It All.” I grew up in a small town in Northwest Missouri. We didn’t have a donut shop, not even…
Dunkin’ Donuts in KC
For KC Donut fans, just wanted to share this link with you: http://www.kansascity.com/business/story/1562009.html I ventured out to Dunkin’ Donuts in St. Joseph last week with Em and will write about it soon. Someone will have to tell me all about the new spot, since I don’t want to visit the same chain twice this year.
