Vacation Food Part 1: Oregon Does Vegan Oh So Well!!

Oh my gosh! For eight days, we ate ate ate! It was just too tempting when faced with such dazzling options across the Northwest! Suffice it to say that the days and weeks to come will involve a lot of light and healthy vegan cooking (Fatfreevegan here I come!) to make up for this treat-fest and it's aftereffects!!

The highlights of the Oregon part of the trip included:

Delicious vegan Reuben and a tasty soy Chai at The Cup & Saucer in Portland, OR




Vegan donut extravaganza (this one stretched over 3 or 4 days!) at Voodoo Doughnut in Portland





Beautiful surprise birthday cake and yummy truffle excursion at Sweetpea!




Homemade love in Troutdale! Yummy Indian spinach & tofu on rice. Sooo good!


Stay tuned for cross-country Reuben eating and more vacay food!

I think I would eat myself into a coma if I ever made it to Portland. Seriously. I'd come back weighing at least 20 pounds more. The donuts look spectacular!!! And your hair is so cute!

Bianca- thanks for the compliment on my new 'do!
Yes, Brad and I both feel like giant abominable snowmen or something. That whole walk-off-what-you-eat thing just didn't cut it with all the amazing food on this trip! I'm finding some wonderful stuff on Fat Free Vegan though that is getting us back in order. Will post my favorite finds :)

i'm glad you had fun. i have BIG dreams about going to portland for a vacation. i also have BIG dreams that an amazing job will fall out of the sky and me and my brood could live there and eat vegan doughnuts from the trees.

It was so nice to ready about your trip to victoria. I am from there and love that city. So many good places to get, and the lotus pond is amazing.
