Food Porn Friday

Hello buttery lover!  I want you...in my belly.  

Can't you practically smell the buttery aroma and feel their flaky outside and soft warm centers.  There are a lot of things I'm passionate about but one of the tops if a fresh croissant.  You know I love him, but I might sell Mac if it meant that someone would bring me a warm croissant every morning.  Lucky for him the chances of that are slim...but one can dream. 

What are you lovelies up to this weekend?  Tonight we'll be having dinner and watching Burlesque (yes with Cher, don't judge it's been on my guilty pleasure list for a while).  Saturday I'll be making pillows for Etsy, baking, and hopefully eating more croissants.  Then Sunday we'll be playing in go-karts with Mac's nephew and launching toy rockets!  Have a great weekend loves full of fun and good food!

Happy Portland Food-Tasty n Sons

Hello friends! Mac and I just got back from a better then awesome trip to Portland, but before I can talk about the trip I have to talk about the food. You know how we are, if this was a sinking ship it would be food and booze first. So first up on the Portland food review is our first, wonderful, meal out. Tasty n Sons is located in North East Portland and is truly eclectic. Brunch that’s served ‘til 2:30 and get your own coffee bar set in an industrial setting, happiness before we even sat down. Take a look at the photos and keep in mind this is a limited sampling of their amazing food. Lauren suggested we eat family style and it was the perfect way to try a variety. If you’re in Portland do yourself a favor and eat here!

French Toast with  with rhubarb-maple syrup & whipped cream, I love rhubarb and it gives this a wonderful tart balance to the sweet maple.

Shakshuka; red pepper & tomato stew, with baked eggs and sausage.  Looks messy but is so satisfying.

Croque Madame with sunny side up eggs.  I had no idea there was a way to justify croque for breakfast, love it!
