This morning started out with a beautiful walk around the neighborhood with Sadie. Though our walk wasn’t more than a mile and a half, it took us longer to complete than I figured it would and when we got home I had to quickly change so we could run out the door to make it to the 9 a.m. church service that’s a good 25 minutes away.
This meant eating my oatmeal in the car!
This bowl of oats totally hit the spot! It included oatmeal, a scoop of chocolate protein power, chocolate almond milk, cocoa power and pumpkin. It was a thick, chocolaty bowl of hot cereal that warmed me right up!
After church, we stopped at the grocery store and a local hot-spot.
Tas-T-O’s Doughnuts!
It’s been a few months since we’ve visited Tas-T-O’s and when we drove by and saw apple fritters in the window, Ryan turned the car around and we found ourselves placing an order.
Two apple fritters, please!
I honestly think apple fritters are one of my all-time favorite foods. This is a new realization I’ve come to upon moving to Ocala and eating the apple fritters at Tas-T-O’s, but they really are so, so delicious. Perfectly doughy and sweet with a touch of cinnamon. Plus, I love the way they pull apart. It reminds me of monkey bread!
We’re not exactly sure what the plans are for today, but we may be hitting up a local theme park for some glass-bottom boat rides.
I also want to get in some reading. I finally started this month’s book club selection yesterday and got about 50 pages in and want to keep going. I’m already intrigued!
Happy Sunday!

Oh my gosh! Those apple fritters look AMAZING! We really need to get better places like that around where I live! Happy Sunday!
Glass bottom boats! Wow what a flashback! I loved going there with my family. I was always creeped out, but in a good way, by the old movie set that was underwater with statues and stuff there. I think it was suppose to be the lost city of Atlantis or something. Have fun!
I want one of those Apple Fritters right NOW! 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I am about 25 percent finished “The Night Circus”…I think it’s great so far. I’m glad it was chosen since I had wanted to read it for so long anyways. I think I can probably finish it in a couple days since I don’t have any plans today besides laundry and housework:)
Gosh, I can’t remember the last time I had an apple fritter! Just another thing to be on the hunt for.
Glass-bottom boat ride, eh? Must be nice. We have 6+ inches of snow on the ground here in Chicago. But, I’m not jealous or anything… 😉
Ohhh a fritter with a mug of black coffee would be SO good right now!
I haven’t had an apple fritter in years. The two you have above look delicious!
Apple fritters are the only doughnut I like… and now I’m craving one!
That oatmeal sounds delicious! Ahhh and those apple fritters make me want to cry! I need to see if there are such things as gluten free apple fritters…
Oh wow that loooks uber sweet!
fresh donuts are soooo good. not in the healthy budget today (or this week) though!
and now I’m craving donuts, hhahah. they look amazing, enjoy.
Glass bottomed boats must be so pretty! Definitely take some pictures! 🙂
We used to have “donut Sundays” growing up and I would always request an apple fritter. Those things are dangerous!
Those apple fritters look so gooooooooooood
Oh my goodness. I just told my sister in law a story of me and my sister getting up early one morning and riding our bikes to Tas-T-O’sI. I love that place and so glad it is still rocking the donuts and fritters. One of Ocala’s finest spots.
Oh my goodness! I haven’t had an apple fritter in ages!! These look amazing 😀
aaand i’m drooling.
i worked for the YMCA a few summers ago and one of our field trips was to Silver Springs. I hated it… but I was also chasing after 40 kindergarteners!
Sunday church + donuts is always the perfect combo! 🙂
Having donuts on Sunday after church reminds me of being a kid. That was our weekly treat! Those fritters look sensational. (:
I’ve been reading When She Woke and it sounds like it might make a good book club selection. Or really just a good book to read in general, it’s a major page-turner.
From Amazon:
Hannah Payne’s life has been devoted to church and family. But after she’s convicted of murder, she awakens in a new body to a nightmarish new life. She finds herself lying on a table in a bare room, covered only by a paper gown, with cameras broadcasting her every move to millions at home, for whom observing new Chromes–criminals whose skin color has been genetically altered to match the class of their crime–is a sinister form of entertainment. Hannah is a Red for the crime of murder. The victim, says the State of Texas, was her unborn child, and Hannah is determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love.
This sounds really interesting! Off to add it to my Kindle wish list. Thanks for sharing:)
oh I love monkey bread!
Don’t worry we do a lot of breakfast eating in the car!
apple fritters are ridiculously good. i had one warmed from starbucks the other day and it was fabulous — i can’t even imagine how good they are fresh from a local bakery!
I love pulling apart breads. I don’t like donuts, but apple fritters are my fave. Especially really doughy ones.
Yum! The fritters look so good. We have a donut shop where we live that make huge fritters just like those. I had a blueberry fritter last time I went, and it was deilcious!
My boyfriend and I used to get apple fritters every morning before school during our senior year of high school. We had a Tas-T-O’s in Vero Beach, FL that we LOVED going to. It was our tradition 🙂
I love church on Sundays too!! SO wonderful 🙂
I finished the book club selection this morning. It turned out to be SO AWESOME! I loved it. I am going to write my review tomorrow and set it to post on 2/1.
Apple fritters are so good. Have you had the ones from Panera?
and would prove serious kryptonite if I was around that place. I absolutely love apple fritters! (jealous) 😉
I love how you’re so much of a “I’ll have my cake and eat it too” when it comes to eatin yummy things. You’re already obviously a healthy weight and size for your body. The thing that upsets me most is that people feel as though they can’t have “unhealthy” foods at all except for “special days”. You prove that wrong by just following mindful eating which I’m all about 🙂 Thank you!
Apple fritters are amazing!!! One of my favorite unhealthy treats for sure.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your Sunday!
Those look amazing! Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever had an apple fritter.
Oh my goodness, those fritters look amazing! Please excuse me while I wipe the drool off of my keyboard… 🙂
Those apple fritters look so good! My parents used to get us donuts from Dunkin’ Donuts after church when my sisters and I were little..it’s a nice tradition to have :).
Oh my word, those fritters look good. At Panera, they have similar-looking treats that I think they call “Bear Claws” that I’ve been wanting to try. Sweet mother of baked goods, I want one!
On a side note, I can’t wait for your NEXT monthly book vote because I definitely nominate my favorite book of all time, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Definitely different from what you’ve been reading lately, but a beautiful story based on women in the biblical times. You’d love it!
Oh my gosh. I love apple fritters and monkey bread!
those apple fritters look fantastic! I need to find some like that around here!
mmmm apple fritters (in homer simpson’s voice)
My parents never bought apple fritters so it was always a treat whenever I slept over at my BFF’s house and her dad would go early in the morning to pick us up apple fritters and bagels- a totally carbalicious, sugary bfast!
I love fritters. My favorite are pineapple fritters. SOOO sweet & yummy.
They’re called Monster Fritters.
