You know, starting a new job is exciting and fun. But it is also a little chaotic trying to figure out what the heck you’re doing! That is definitely the boat I’m in right now. Not to mention all of the other things going on during the summer like fun events, weddings and friends coming into town, I am feeling super busy and between you and me, a tad frazzled. But despite my jam-packed calendar, I would never pass up an opportunity for a blogger’s afternoon at Pacific Pie, which I was invited to two weeks ago. Continue Reading...

Maurice Pastry Luncheonette

921 SW Oak St – between 9th and 10th • mauricepdx.com • 503.224.9921

Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-7pm

This little French-Norwegian luncheonette and pastry shop in the West End of downtown has become one of my new favorite places in Portland. Maurice is owned and run by the talented pastry chef, Kristen Murray who has an impressive resume making desserts for acclaimed restaurants like Paley’s Place, New York’s Aquavit, Boston’s No. 9 Park.

Kristen opened Maurice in late December after raising over $40,000 in a Kickstarter campaign. Set on the short diagonal Oak Street near Powell’s, the small space is transformed into a quaint European cafe. The open kitchen and pastry case filled with beautiful treats greet you when you walk in. With only 580 square feet, it is a tight squeeze but it works with the the all-white decor and big windows giving lots of light. Continue Reading...

Whenever I tell people that I do Crossfit, I often get asked if I also follow the Paleo diet. (If you don’t know what that is, you’re basically supposed to eat like a caveman with only grassfed meats, vegetables and limited fruit. Sounds boring, right?) Usually my response is to laugh, I write a blog about bakeries after all. So no, I definitely do not cut out sweets, chocolates, and certainly not carbs. Continue Reading...
