love. coffee and health

I'm not sure if you have picked up on this yet....but I love coffee. I mean I LOVE it! as in a lot...


When I started my paleo journey {see here} I realized that I couldn't go with my usual caramel macchiato anymore- a grande has over 30 grams of sugar!! but was I going to give up on coffee all together???- HECK NO! 
So, I thought of trying the "skinny latte's" at Starbucks, but those use fake sugar which i think tastes like crap and is also pretty unhealthy. Thats when I went for a caffe latte- which tasted good, but not great. 


But then. It dawned on me.


Enter: The Cappuchino. 


It is small, yet delicious, but not too milky. It's rich and creamy- the perfect after lunch pick me up. When I drink a Cappuchino,  I feel European- elegant, sophisticated and refined. 
Plus with only 120 calories and about 12 carbs (at Starbucks) the Cappuchino is both stylish and healthy!

life. portland photography

A few weeks ago my wonderful friend and former college roommate Victoria came up to visit me for the weekend. I had a giant list of Portland things to do (most of them involving food) and we got most of them checked off. Victoria happens to be an awesome photographer and got some great shots of our adventure. Here are some of my favorites: 


This one is my fav. - we found this spot in an alleyway. 

Bikes... so Portland :) 

She snapped this one without me knowing it! 

Both of us together at Powell's 

View from Pioneer Square.

View from the Portland Arial Tram. 

To say the least, we had a great time!
