It seems I’ve fallen into a bit of a pattern on the weekends.
This could be a good or bad thing. Depending on how you look at it, I guess.
Brunch and basketball. It’s a beautiful thing.
You know me. So you know I baked the donuts myself. 
They were a recipe from Prevention RD. I’ve seen her make one fabulous donut after another, so when the ‘rents gave me a donut pan for Christmas, I stalked her blog. I hope she’s ok with me admitting that…
I went with the basic cake donut with chocolate glaze. However, this girl doesn’t have cake flour on hand and used all-purpose flour instead. 
They came out a little imperfect, but it’s ok- that just means they need to be better covered in chocolate glaze. And possibly that I need to practice by making more… 
Holla’.
The ones with sprinkles were the first to go. Either the boys don’t like coconut/nuts on their donuts, or they happen to love sprinkles just as much as I do…
By the end of our Saturday shenanigans, they were all gone. As was the champagne.
Someone didn’t get the memo about it being an Andre kind of party.
I must say, it really is an enjoyable pattern. We have champagne brunch. We watch Mizzou win. We celebrate. We eat pizza. And we’re still home at a decent hour which makes Sunday morning that much more bearable.
One thing done differently this week from last week is the workout happened on Saturday instead of getting pushed to Sunday. This was definitely a better decision on my part. 6 miles today would have been rough.
It was actually a little rough yesterday anyway. To be completely honest.
Not since the Hot Chocolate 15k have I gone that long. 6 miles is in the plan for next week’s long run, too, so this week was just a matter of getting the distance in and not worrying about pace. Pace comes next week. So I kept it at 8:41 the entire time.
Now my butt is sore. I swear it’s getting bigger and feel like this just confirms it. Totally fine. It makes up for the lack of curve elsewhere. Just as long as I don’t have to buy new pants. It’s not in the budget.
And now that we’ve covered a wide array of topics, it’s time to stop talking about myself so you can actually go and enjoy your Sunday. And it’s time for me to go browse recipes for Slowcooker Sunday.
It’s another part of the pattern that we don’t plan on changing around here.

Man, your Saturdays kick ass. Champagne, pizza, and day drinking are 3 of my favorite things…
gosh that food looks tasty!
cheers
I need donuts! I haven’t made them in what seems like so long! I don’t mind them being imperfect since the imperfections seem to catch all the good glaze! Have a great Sunday Amy!
Ugh. You are really making me want donuts. I read your entire post but all I can think is donuts… we have one of those tins too. We should make some
mmmmmmm…. donuts…. and good job on the 6 miler, you’re a champ!
I haven’t had a donut in 5 years, but now I want to go buy a donut pan and make some at home
Love Andre!! Especially the peach flavor. I can drink the bottle all to myself..it’s that good! haha
I haven’t had a doughnut in forever but those look extremely delicious. Krispy Kreme & DD got nothing on you Amy! haha
oh my god! your saturdays sound amazing. you actually MADE doughnuts? and had champagne? i spent most of the day at the hospital eating au bon pain and hating every minute of it.
great job on the 6 miles! it was FREEZING yesterday so i’m really impressed you went out there! winter running still scares me..
also, if you ever need to practice making doughnuts and you need someone to eat them, please let me know – i’ll be more than happy to take some off your hands

Oh my God. You have all the champagne.
I need a donut pan…badly.
Champagne + Donuts = Very Good Thing
Bravo!! Those donuts look way better than any of my attempts.
By the way – I totally participated in Slow cooker Sunday again today
I need to get a donut pan.
Oh, and maybe some champagne.
Brunch with champagne and basketball…I wish I could have been there. Sounds pretty much perfect!
The donuts look awesome to me. I would have been all over that.
Good job on the run!
Donuts?! OMG! My ass would be as big as all outdoors if I ate donuts on a regular like I would like…..
What a fab weekend you had!!!
