Enter to Win The Cheese Plate PDX

Oregon Cheese Lovers Plate from The Cheese Plate

I want to send one lucky winner to a food cart pod with a great atmosphere and a good vibe. If you show up at the right time you will also hear some live music. The Cheese Plate PDX is one of my favorite food carts. I love the variety that they offer.

So go with me, if you will, to Alberta and 23rd, to The Cheese Plate. The owners Nick and Carina are so sweet and they want nothing more than for you to have an great experience. They have these beautiful cheese plates with house made crackers. After you order they will bring the plate out to you and they will explain where every one of the Oregon cheeses came from and a little about them. Seriously, it’s like a fancy restaurant except better. If you are vegan, [Read more…]

Rain/Shine/Sweet

Caramels, sweet caramels. I don’t eat much sugar, but having these in the house is dangerous. I had the opportunity to try these caramels recently, and I was impressed. The first thing I noticed is that they are large. I mean no one wants a small bite of caramel, right?

I was able to try 4 different flavors, Original, Chocolate, Apple Cider and Pumpkin Spice. I had to start with original, you know, see how it compares to others that I have had, and it was spot on. You take a bite and the sweet caramel taste stays on your tongue. [Read more…]

Garden Monsters (Portland’s only Salad Food Cart)

Between showing up when they were closed or showing up after they had been vandalized I still had not tried Garden Monsters. I kept seeing pictures of these great salads and knew I at least needed to give them a shot. When you have men sending in reviews saying this salad kept them full all day, I knew I needed to see what this was all about.

Now I totally get it. The one salad I know that will keep you full all day is the [Read more…]

Genki-Su Drinking Vinegar Kickstarter

When I was contacted by the owners of Genki-Su to try their drinking vinegars I really didn’t know what I was in for. Once I received the product I was instantly intrigued and let me tell you why. They boast a lot of health benefits of their drinking vinegars (I will get to those in a minute), but the one that stood out to me the most was that it supports a healthy immune system. You can ask any of my friends, as soon as I begin to get a cold I start to drink [Read more…]

Farmers Revival Dinner with the Bloggers

We had a gathering of food bloggers that came together to eat food (because that’s what we do). Not just any meal though, we got to sample food from a restaurant that is not even established yet. You see the dinner we had is from a restaurant that is still in the beginning process of becoming reality.

I loved sitting down with, Dave, the brains behind Farmers Revival and hearing the story about how this all came about. How he wants to create really, really good food that is incredibly healthy and yet fast. The passion that he shared with us was [Read more…]

Farmers Revial Kickstarter Project

I am happy to share with you all about a new restaurant coming to the Portland area and the opportunity to be a part of what’s happening.

In the 1980’s, Dave Rose grew up in a small town just outside of Eugene, Oregon. He was very fortunate to have parents who invested time and effort into growing a small organic garden on their 5-acre property. Dave recalls that many of their family meals were comprised solely from whatever that garden would provide, and many times salads and vegetables became the star attractions at the dining room table. He loved how they tasted and more importantly how they made him feel – energized, satisfied and nourished. Fast forward to today where Dave and his wife Page are taking a “grassroots” approach to [Read more…]
