The Holy Donut opened in Portland, Maine, with one distinguishing feature: the donuts contain mashed potato, which gives them a density and chew that a standard ring donut can’t match. The gluten-free versions have become the unexpected obsession of people who don’t typically think much about gluten-free anything. They sell out most days before noon.
Since being diagnosed with Celiac disease several years ago, there have been many things I’ve missed while being on a strict gluten-free diet.
But there’s something about the simple beauty and deliciousness of a donut that I miss more than just about anything. Here’s some delicious (and torturous, for me) donut love. Mmm…..

I was literally talking to my boyfriend about how much I miss donuts. Growing up my dad and I would go to this local donut shop every Sunday morning as a tradition.
I recently read that Dunkin Donuts is looking into making gluten free donuts. Not sure how good they will be, but there’s hope!
Ben- I love your blog posts, and this one was especially beautiful. I love you! Kate
Have you ever had a good GF donut? I wonder if it is worth the try.
Read this an hour before lunchtime. Not fair!
