Getting a little personal today! I’ve been on a health journey for years and taking this medication is just one part of it. It’s not for everyone, but this is my experience, and I wanted to share because I know how complicated this all can be 🫶 taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @helloitsliapicard

The first part of our family trip to Texas was a stay at Horseshoe Bay Resort which has a great tennis academy. In addition to lounging by the pool and playing putt putt, the family had lessons that were actually really helpful — and cuddles with Schultz the court dog 🐶 🎾 thanks for having us!! taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @helloitsliapicard

When the city’s largest book fest asks you to interview an awesome cookbook author, you say yes! 🌟 I had a blast interviewing Amy Duska of @littlespoonfarmblog about her new cookbook all about one hour sourdough. Jon and Abby came, and now we’re celebrating in Decatur — thank you @decaturbookfestival! 📚 taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @helloitsliapicard

Snippets of September, including cozy drinks at @valor.coffee, a beautiful sunset with the Gwinnett Stripers, getting back into podcasting, and a beautiful dessert at @millerunionatl. Of course there was lots of tennis, too 😘 by @helloitsliapicard

Doughnuts are often regarded as basic breakfast treats, thanks in part to the brands that mass-produce them. An individual doughnut itself, however, can be an artfully made pastry. At Atlanta’s locally owned doughnut shops, many are made by hand, fried in small batches and thoughtfully finished.

Doughnuts have evolved over time, but they’ve never gone away.

From classic rings to elaborate creations, here are five doughnut shops around metro Atlanta giving us an excuse to have dessert disguised as breakfast.

Where do you get your donuts? Read more about each spot and check out our spotlight of pastry chef Charmain Ware-Jason at the link in our bio.
