Special Equipment Needed for chocolate baked doughnuts
For years I didn’t use doughnut pans. I would use muffin tins or a mini bundt cake pan. I am so glad I finally got two doughnut pans for $14!
What I love about this recipe is that you only need a mixing bowl, a whisk and a silicone spatula. No mixer required.

2. Letra Handmade Bags
I just received a new Letra bag. It has long handles which are perfect for the way I love to use mine the most, which is taking it to the farmers market! No matter what I buy, it fits inside beautifully. I can even buy a few potted plants and nestle them into the bottom and they stay safe until I get home. My bag is currently 50% off. Or use my code annie20 for 20% off regular-priced bags!
3. Peg Pottery
My friend Peg is a potter with a little studio in Massachusetts. When I saw that she posted these lovely black and white ornaments, I knew I had to have one to mix in with one of my gallery walls. They are so cute to give as a gift in a box, on a bottle of wine, on top of a present or with a bunch of fresh flowers! Visit Peg’s Etsy shop here.
4. Reformation Jeans + Poshmark
Madeline and I love these high-waisted patch jeans from Reformation. I paid full retail. Madeline found hers for $80 on Poshmark. New with tags on! Did you see Cindy’s post How to Score the Best Deals on eBay and Poshmark?
5. Did you know about this Service from the USPS?
Maybe I’m the last to know about this service from the United States Postal Service, but recently when we went to London, I went online to have our mail held at the post office. I opted in for a service called Your Daily Digest or USPS Informed. You get an email every day with actual scanned photos of each piece of mail. It also informs you of any package deliveries. This is especially helpful when traveling and wondering if you received an important piece of mail while you are away. Here’s a link. Sign up, it’s free!
When we returned I assumed it would stop, but every day I get an email with my mail that’s being delivered. Try it, I’m going to keep it!
Annie, Loved today’s post. The donuts are beautiful and look so yummy. Max would die for these. I love your bag.. and your photo. Also the ornaments are so cool. You find the best things. Also I use informed delivery for a few years as our neighborhood had some mail stolen and it’s great to have! Hope you have a beautiful Sunday! xo
Well of COURSE I was going to be all over those doughnuts!! SO pretty – love the flower garnish! And double love that they are one bowl. They look delicious!
Wish I could have one of those donuts right now! That Letra bag is so cool. I do like the USPS email of what’s in the mail. I hold the mail on line and did the change of address online, too. Now I need to find where our mail box is in this new house!
Annie, your donuts look amazing … I want one so badly. One … maybe two! And, I’m in love with the Letra bag. The size is perfect for farmers marketing and so many other things. And the fabric and pattern are incredible. Happy Sunday … have a great week! xo
Juliet, I can totally see one of these bags in your house too! I love using mine, but I do how they like hanging up on my hooks too!
