Cause for celebration!

Well, I am officially employed at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op as a wellness clerk! Woohoo! The anticipation was killing me! But, alas...we have survived.  I am really excited for the changes coming, and feel really good about the choice we have made to move to Sac.  We are going to go look at places today, so wish us luck on that part.

As far as school goes, I want to go tour a couple different ones once we're settled.  I toured Art Institute a while back, and the facilities were brand new and gorgeous, and it seems financially, there is a lot of help you can find. I was discouraged with that school because I wasn't really excited about the idea of commuting an hour and a half each way, three days a week, on top of my full time work schedule.  But now that we will be walking distance to the school, I may just revisit that option.

We went and had a couple drinks with my fab friend Rose on Tuesday. She also told me about American River College and how it has a really great culinary program.  It's a community college, so the tution runs fractions of the fancy schools.  It is also one of the top rated culinary schools in northern California...So definitely a good option as well...

Now let's talk ooey gooey goodness.

I wanted to make a little dessert to celebrate all of these great new things happening.  

Whats a perfect happy food?

Vegan Donuts, of course!

You see, donuts and I have fond memories of each other when I was a little girl and my grandparents would take us out for 'coffee and donuts' in the morning when they had us for the day.  It's such a beautiful memory I have of them, so donuts happen to bring those happy feelings back. 

Of course, I don't eat the donuts we used to eat as kids,

but the ingredients don't keep us from sitting down and enjoying a delicious sugary circle together. :)
