Pizza adjacent for dinner tonight! Homemade cauliflower crust with dairy free Violife cheese, pepperoni & my favorite new obsession Hot Cherry Peppers. Yum! No recipe just following a hankering for pizza without breaking the bank with carbs. Turned out so well! Come on over for a slice.

A few weeks ago a friend & I had the distinct pleasure of taking a grilling class through Airbnb experiences with Chef Steve. What an amazing experience it was & I was surprised how much I learned. We made this beautiful Cedar plank salmon with grilled asparagus & béarnaise sauce. Chicken satay & an amazing flank steak that we sliced for amazing sandwiches. We used all three marinating techniques in each course (brining, dry rub & marinating). I enjoyed meeting new people & sharing a passion for delicious food with like minded people. I’d highly recommend the experience.

I must confess that I promised my friend that would WAIT to go to Matt’s BBQ tacos with her. 🌮🌮🌮. And yet, in a moment of weakness and hunger I made my way to enjoy these delicious bad boys. Seriously delicious! And huge. I had the Migas taco & a brisket taco called the GOAT. So many choices yet to try! Make sure you stop by Matt’s BBQ tacos on NE Alberta inside Great Notion brewery & enjoy some@beer and tacos! I’ll see you there!

A pleasant surprise for a delicious evening of Vietnamese food I inadvertently placed an order for the wrong appetizer but happily discovered a new dish of steamed rice flour cakes with dried shrimp & fish sauce. Beautiful presentation and kind of fun to eat. We also had crispy fish sauce chicken wings, pork sausage salad roles & a pork chop served with rice, shrimp & fish patty wrapped in tofu skin.

A great celebration for my Aunt’s 75th birthday at Master Kong on SE Division. So many new things we tried and ate to our hearts fill. We had Jianbing, Chinese style pot stickers, wonton soup, meat folder which was kind of like a street food sandwich on the go. The Chinese style pot stickers were our favorite. Reasonably priced and delicious!

We had such a fun breakfast with the kiddos at Tin Shed this morning. Moe and Yoda ordered chicken and sweet potatoes for breakfast from the dog menu. I think they’ll start with dessert next time and get the peanut butter, bananas and yogurt bowl. Sounds delicious! Love pet friendly places here in Portland.

Great lunch today in Pioneer Square The Cubano 🇨🇺 was delicious with slow roasted tender ham, Pickles, mustard and Swiss! There will definitely be a next time! There are nice tables to sit at with giant circles on the ground delineating a perimeter for social distancing in the square. It was so nice to be out enjoying a beautiful day here in the rose city. Check them out when in you’re in the neighborhood.

My heart is heavy for the burden that is being carried by the wonderful people in the hospitality industry. It's shocking how quickly this pandemic has impacted their ability to meet their basic needs. I'd like to ask if you can, donate to this Go Fund Me campaign, to help meet the immediate needs of our hotel, & restaurant community here in Portland. The heart of the hospitality industry is its people, they are some of the most resilient and hardworking people I know. The strength of our community lies in our ability to come together and do what we can to lift those around us when we face adversity together. Love & light my friends, Sandy

A great addition to the N Williams neighborhood is XLB named after its signature Shanghai soup dumplings & namesake Xia Long Bao. These amazing little dumplings are fun to eat and delicious. Each little dumpling, ( I love saying "little dumpling") is filled with seasoned pork, ginger, garlic chive, & pork stock. It's a two-step process to eat gracefully as the delicious stock rolls out of the dumpling after your first bite. But don't worry, there are instructions & the proper eating accessories on every table to help make you appear to be an EXPERT dumpling eater on the first try. I also tried the five-spiced popcorn chicken with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. Yum! I opted to eat the counter so I could watch everyone work in the open kitchen and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere surrounding us including old Chinese lanterns, Kung Fu inspired artwork & of course the bustle of humanity around me. Chef Jasper Shen, Laura Tran & their wonderful team have brought an eating experience to North Portland that's not to be missed. @ XLB
