Pumpkin Donuts

I feel like i have come through another lens of life, i can probably count the times I baked in the last 2 and a half years on two hands.. well before this last month that is. I broke free somewhere in there.. in that month. It has taken so long for me to enjoy and want to bake again. I am floored now that I am thinking about it.

Also I have been the a grocery store probably 7 times in the last 14 days, which is SO like my mom, This morning I needed to go to Valley Natural Foods, which is a place that has been hard for me to go to, because my mom went there probably twice a week for about 10 years. A LOT of the staff knew my mom, and loved my mom. So they know who I am, Donna's Daughter.. Talking with the people there always reminds me of my mom, and reminds me she isn't here anymore, but ALSO what an amazing woman she was, and how she was such a gluten free advocate, she would talk to anyone in that store that just looked like they needed help with gluten free, and she would recommend things and say not to buy other things cause she had tried it all!
I utterly totally completely fell off the gluten free wagon, and my skin and moods are screaming at me, and i'm sure my mom is shaking her head, or she would be. This will be my 3rd day sober for gluten, and i need to keep it that way my arms don't look like a leper anymore and i am not so off the wall emotional on the flip of a coin. I can think and listen without trying quite as hard, which has been a huge thing for me, I admit i am not the best listener, and most of the time i am a terrible listener. but as weird as it sounds i seriously think the gluten makes it worse, and makes my moods worse and makes me feel kinda yukkie-er ..
It is good to be feeling like me a little bit more, and realizing it is even better. and by the way these pumpkin donuts are amazing and you should totally try them! i used the bob redmill sweet sorghum flour, and it made 16 for me not 15 like she says. check out her blog!
