Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!
As Kelly mentioned before, we ate so many great meals in Portland we just knew we’d have to recreate some at home! We went to a cute little Swedish place called Broder for Easter brunch and it had the most delicious bread! Not that my meal wasn’t …
Hi friends!! Ever since our return from Portland (you can read about that here and here), we have been wanting to recreate some of the amazing food we ate! We started with hummus from the Blue Olive! Head over to the Simply Living where we …
I’m going to warn you right now…there is no chocolate in this post today (gasp!). I know, right? Who am I?! I’m a self-proclaimed chocoholic! Yet when I find myself staring at a plateful of cookies, what do I choose? The oatmeal raisin. (Further proof I am too indecisive to have a favorite of anything).
I LOVE ice cream (and milkshakes)! It is my favorite dessert and if you were to ask my favorite food, 75% of the time I’d say ice cream. Mint chip from Baskin Robbins to be exact. Or toasted almond from Leatherby’s (an awesome local ice …
We promise we did more than just eat while in Portland! We went shopping, walked around NW Portland, drove through neighborhoods picking out potential dream homes, met new friends and almost got tattoos! (well only Kelly) One of our favorite parts of the trip, however, …
Sooo…we ate too much food to fit into one blog post. Is that bad? Don’t answer that. In our second portion we go over perhaps our two favorite meals: dessert and drinks! If you missed our food reviews, check out Part I.
Dessert:
Salt & Straw
Our love for ice cream matches our love for donuts (see Pip’s in Part I). Any dessert, really. I mean, we do have a blog dedicated to baked goods!! Salt & Straw is definitely a must visit when in Portland. The ice cream is amazing and the flavor combos are unusual, yet perfect. We were able to sample any and all flavors including ones like Donut, Smores, Chimi Churro, and Chocolate with Brownies. Amy liked the Honey Lavender and we heard good things about the Pear and Goat Cheese…but those were a bit adventurous for our taste. Steph and Kelly each settled on a double scoop: one with Sea Salt/Caramel and Coffee/Bourbon and one with Snickerdoodle and Coffee/Bourbon. Nothing beats homemade ice cream and Salt & Straw is the place to get the best homemade flavors! Steph even saved half of hers for the next day because she was too full…just as good leftover!

We went on foodie adventure in Portland last week and here is all the places we ate! Please, don’t judge… We were on vacation after all! Calories don’t count 🙂 Amy is Kelly’s cousin who lives there and she was our gracious host and tour …
Well it’s a Monday after a vacation weekend…what can I say? I’m going to be needing a detox of sorts! Kelly and I spent last Thursday to Easter Sunday in Portland, Oregon, celebrating her birthday, visiting cousins and exploring the city. But that’s a post …
Long Distance Baking is so excited to be participating in the Spiked Recipe Challenge hosted by This Gal Cooks and Frugal Foodie Mama! Our first blogging challenge!
The challenge requires that our recipe must feature the beverage of choice and cannot be a drink. So what’s this beverage of choice, you ask? It’s Lemon Liquor!

I’m warning you now: this post is going to be mostly pictures. Of my dogs. Because I don’t really know what to say. And I can’t promise there won’t be tears. But you will get to see an old picture of me with braces…so that’s …
