If you were to pop into my world at the University of Oregon, these are my show-n-tell spots for some of the best eats in Eugene! Most of them are [...]
Sweets and I have been indulging our ice cream tendencies lately. From sharing containers of chocolatey Ben & Jerry’s, to sampling our local made vegan ice creams, our taste buds are happy.
We happen to live in a mini culinary hot zone that gives us access to some great food items. On my way [...]
This journey up North was a much-needed time for Sweets and I to unwind and relax in the company of like minded friends. We soaked and played in snow, and though I didn’t get to hit the chocolate shops on the way, we did indulge in some chocolate nibbles paired with raspberry lambic- taste [...]

Not so Secret Vegan Agenda? In Eugene?
And so the sweet sweet Sirens of Sweet Life beckon my sated tummy to their temptuous lair. “No really, I’m fine,” replies my stomach, which is soon wrestled into submission by my eyes which have spied glistening fruits, gleaming [...]
A new addiction has been brewing forth in our household… the need for a satisfyingly large weekend breakfast. In addition to establishing the pace for the day it has become a new way for us to get our fill of Mexican food. Cafe Sienna, tucked in the busy 13th Ave strip of campus [...]
The days this week have been long, sore (ahem, renewed committment to head to the gym, inspired by… well all sorts of things inspire these sorts of tendencies and this one is a bit long winded to explain), yet delightfully sunny in their duration. After Groundhog’s Day, the denziens of Eugene, Oregon became resigned [...]
