Food on food on food

Hello everybody! I'm really excited about today's post. Why? Well, because it's about food, and who doesn't get excited about food?! 

Today I will be showcasing food that means a lot to me along with a little surprise at the end. The reason this food is particularly incredible is because it's all dorm-made either by me or by my roommates for our roomie dinners, which happen four nights every week. We each have one day during which we are responsible for making dinner for everyone, and once it's prepared, we all hang out and eat together. Definitely one of my favorite parts of college so far :) 

Let's get started!

Pancakes with bacon strips (in the pancakes!!) and to add some healthiness, a side salad.
This was Bri's incredible creation.

Another revolutionary meal by Bri - eggplant pizza! Delicious, unique, and healthy!

DJ went all out for this dinner by preparing a gourmet hand-crafted burger, guacamole, and coughwinecough (for extra classiness!) -  absolutely DELECTABLE! 

Lately Bri has been really into eggplant, and this is her healthy version of lasagna - made out of eggplant instead of pasta. Definitely a success!

THE meal for a gloomy, cold, depressing day. Chicken, gravy, dinner rolls, green beans - what could be better as comfort food? As always, a success by DJ.

Not a dinner, just my go-to meal for lunch: eggs, spinach, and Dave's Killer bread.
(Fun Fact: Dave's Killer Bread started out at PSU's Farmer's Market and now is a big-name brand, as well as the most delicious and healthy bread out there!)

And now, the sweet surprise to end the post. We have discovered the most incredible place in Portland: Blue Star Doughnuts and Coffee on SE Hawthorne St. Not only is the area wonderful, filled with unique, cute boutique shops, caffés, and thrift stores, which by the way have some great finds. But Blue Star is where it's at - literally everything about it is perfect. The food is delectable, the ambiance of modern white classiness is well above par, the service is beyond friendly, music selection - fantastic, and did I mention that the food is DELICIOUS?!

Unfortunately, I was so captivated that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of probably the most unique item on their menu - Fried Chicken and Doughnut. May sound strange, but turns out that it is a heavenly combination. Apparently even better with the hot sauce. We serendipitously stumbled upon this haven on Friday and may or may not have gone back today...

Definitely, though, Hawthorne and the Sunnyside District is one of my favorites in Portland. We will certainly be visiting there again...many times.

Well, that's it for today's post. Hope I didn't make you too hungry!

Thanks for reading :)
