Words I Didn't Think I Would Ever Hear...

"What do you think about going vegetarian for the week? Ok, maybe vegetarian with chicken..."  Those were the words that came out of my boyfriend's mouth as we walked the hot streets of Portland in search of Voodoo Doughnuts.  I couldn't believe my ears!!  There was one more thing that followed. "We can start that on Monday, because its the weekend."  Of course there are no rules for food on the weekend!!  So today as I sit at home with the summertime head cold from hell, I have been going through recipes looking for some yummy new chicken, veggie and fish dishes to try this "no red meat" week.   What is your favorite chicken recipe?  Veggie recipe? Fish recipe?  I need some help my foodie friends!

Back to our doughnut quest.  We have heard rave reviews of Voodoo Doughnuts and apparently so had many other people, there was a line out the door when we got there.  But the people inside kept it moving pretty fast which was good because as I mentioned before, Portland was unbearably hot yesterday.  The doughnuts did not disappoint.  They were great!  We got 2 blueberry cake doughnuts (my Grandpa Warren
s favorite when I was kid), 2 chocolate cake doughnuts, a glazed, and a maple bar with bacon on top.  Yes, bacon.  It was salty/sweet perfection.  It sounds wrong and probably is, but it tastes so right!

If you are ever in Portland, make a pit stop and try one.  You won't be sorry.  You only live once right!?
