I have something to share with you.

I miss my raspberry danish twist for breakfast. I miss my crumb coffee cake on weekends with coffee and fruit. I miss the mini chocolate chip cookies with milk for a snack in the afternoon. And I miss having a donut at night before bed, sometimes chocolate frosted, sometimes crumb.

No, this is not what I eat on a daily basis.  But I was thinking back to some of my favorite foods as a child, teenager and even young adult while I lived in the Northeast.  Have you guessed what I am talking about yet?

I live in Texas and for a very good reason, my suitcase comes home a few pounds heavier when I travel for business.  Here is the reason why.

My suitcase is filled with Entenmann’s treats.  When I pack I make sure to leave room for a box of donuts and a box of crumb cakes.  Sometimes cookies make it home too.  I bring them home with me from various cities since I could not imagine my five year old daughter not ever trying my favorite childhood treats.  Plus I score points with my husband since the chocolate frosted donuts are his absolute favorite.

So I ask again- why not Texas?  When I travel for work, my five year old doesn’t ask for a t-shirt, a magnet or even a new stuffed animal.  She requests that I bring home her favorite white box.  Please Entenmann’s- help me make my suitcase lighter and bring a smile to my daughter’s face!
