How is that in my quest to learn more about food and cooking I have come across some amazing Portland business that I am dying to try out. Here I am in the Bay Area far away from them. Today would be a perfect day to head over to Sweet Pea Baking Company. Mmmm-a-licious. They are Portland’s first vegan café and bakery. “Located at 1205 SE Stark Street, Porltand, OR, Sweet Pea will feature fresh gourmet vegan baked goods, Stumptown coffee/espresso and a light breakfast and lunch menu.” (click this to find out more.) I love vegan eats. I’m not even vegan. They just sit well in my stomach. And I am almost always happy and have energy after I eat a vegan desert. Not so with “normal” desserts (even some of the “healthier” ones). Vegans know how to do it. They have been practicing at it a while. Now, I don’t eat vegan that much but, let me tell you, I notice the difference. It just keeps getting better. All the faux desserts and other dishes they make are great alternatives.

Hm, maybe I SHOULD become vegan.
I’m not ready for that yet. Breastfeeding, money, effort, etc… But I think my life would be better. Anyway…

Here is another cool place I must check out:

Food Fight Grocery a vegan grocery at 1217 Stark St in SE Portland, Or.
