When you think of donuts, the first thoughts that usually come to mind consist of large chain donut stores such as Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts, but this week I wanted to try something a little smaller: homemade donuts. Over Thanksgiving break, my family traveled to my grandparent’s house. My grandpa is an incredible cook,... Continue Reading →
Grocery Store #2: Hy-Vee
I decided to stop by another grocery store today! I chose Hy-Vee because I had tried their donuts before and was wondering how they compared with the other donuts I’ve had more recently. I arrived at Hy-Vee at 8:30 a.m. and found my way to the pastry section. There was a large case filled with... Continue Reading →
QuickTrip Donuts
Today I decided to stop by another gas station! I stop by QuikTrip fairly often but have never had their donuts, so I loved this opportunity to see what I've been missing. I arrived at the gas station at 11:10 a.m. QuikTrip is always a fairly busy gas station and inside was bustling with customers.... Continue Reading →
Hurts Donuts
This past August, a new Hurts Donut store opened in Kansas City, and I felt like it was about time I visited them! I had gone to a Hurts store in Branson and absolutely loved it, so I was hoping the one in Kansas City would live up to my expectations. We arrived at the... Continue Reading →
Krispy Kreme
I was contemplating which donut store I would stop by next and then I was struck with the realization that I hadn’t critiqued the most iconic donut store in the history of donuts: Krispy Kreme. I arrived at the store around 11:30 a.m. and found the parking lot and drive-thru empty. I really think it’s... Continue Reading →

Fluffy’s Donuts
My sister has stopped by Fluffy’s Donuts before, but I’ve never tried one of their donuts before so when I was in the area I decided to drop by. I was confused by the name at first, and had no idea what my experience would be like. I arrived at the store around 8:00 a.m.... Continue Reading →
LaMar’s Donuts
This week I decided to try a widely loved donut shop called LaMar’s Donuts. I’ve had their donuts before, but it has been a while, and I can’t remember ever actually visiting the store. I arrived at the store around 8:30 am to find a long line that wrapped throughout the store. There were 3... Continue Reading →
Dunkin Donuts
When you first think of donuts, a few of the larger donut stores might come to mind, one of which is Dunkin' Donuts. This week I decided to swing by one of their stores and see how I rate them. I have not had the best past experiences with Dunkin's Donuts. Their donuts aren't necessarily... Continue Reading →
Gas Station Donuts?
A couple friends of mine suggested that I try donuts from the Casey’s gas station and share my experience there. I usually extremely dislike donuts from gas stations, but I never refuse a chance to eat more donuts so I stopped by Casey's the next morning around 8:30 a.m. They surprised me by having a...
