Sweetie

I think we might have a problem.
We like sweets too much for breakfast.
Seriously.
My favorite breakfast in the world is coffee and a baked good.
I made a breakfast cake last week solely for the purpose of having it with coffee in the mornings. Actually, it was The Pioneer Woman's prune cake found here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/12/make-this-cake-today-trust-me/. It was very good and very sweet. Don't worry. I didn't make my little body run on flour and sugar all day. We also had oatmeal with the cake.
If it was only that, it wouldn't be so bad, but I hate to admit that the past few weekends have been spent making things like these for breakfast:
Doughnuts--

Those are apple fritters (Mom, I thought of you)!! They were so good! Matt should start his own donut shop.
And French toast-
But doesn't he look so happy with his French toast?? Cutest thing I ever did see.

And there you have it. Three reasons why we should not be left alone on Saturday mornings. For our families who are now worried about our sugar levels, let me assure you that we eat healthier throughout the day and I work out at least once a month.
Just kidding!
Matt makes sure I go out for a run a few times a week. He takes care of me, thank goodness. Except when I want to make a coffee cake. Then he lets me run wild.
Add us to your prayer list.

I have the same problem, too! Sweets just call my name no matter the occasion! Good thing I am offsetting this sugar intake with running. ;)

Haha! It's too bad we don't live closer. We could be sweet-eating/running buddies!

Those apple fritters look delicious. Can I get the recipe?

Mom, those fritters came from the brilliancy of Matt's mind! No recipe--he just winged it! I think we just found a recipe on allrecipes.com for the donut recipe and went from there.
