Tim and I came home from work around the same time this evening. We were both very hungry. Since we plan out a week’s worth of meals, it should have been easy to figure out something to make for dinner. Here’s how the conversation went:
Tim: “We could make waffles or pancakes.”
Amy: “No.”
Tim: “How about this baked cauliflower meal?”
Amy: “No.”
Tim: “What if we went to Native Foods?”
Amy: “No.”
Tim: “Los Gorditos?”
Amy: “No.”
Tim: “Proper Eats?”
Amy: “Maybe.”
Can you tell I was being ridiculously stubborn? In the end, we did go to Proper Eats. It is our favorite restaurant and we don’t go often enough. I think that’s okay though because it makes each visit extra special. Speaking of special, Tim and I both ordered one of the specials. I got mac-n-cheese over a bed of sauteed greens and Tim got a monster-sized burrito filled with quinoa, sweet potatoes, plantains, barbecue sauce, and a medley of other things. As always, our food was outstanding. I love Proper Eats. If you ever visit Portland, I highly recommend you eat there! Vegan. Wholesome. Nutritious. Affordable. Delicious.
This is a photograph of my plate. The poor lighting doesn’t do the meal justice, but let me just say that despite the generous portion, I cleaned my plate – all by myself!

Yes! That place is delicious. And Los Gorditos–what a treasure :) Won’t it be great if they put a Native Foods closer in? Have you tried the Veggie Grill downtown?
Hi Kylie! There are so many yummy places to eat in Portland! I think there are plans for a closer-in Native Foods… Fingers crossed. And yes, I have been to the downtown Veggie Grill location. They have the best sweet potato fries!! Mmmmmm!!!
We are addicted to the Bye and Bye… Brussels Bowl! Weeping Tiger Sandwich!! Oh my!
Oh yeah! I forgot about the Brussels Bowl!
La-la-love that place! I try to eat there once a week. Like a co-op-y version of Blossoming Lotus, AND close to my house
Yay! I’m happy to see so much love for Proper Eats! If I lived within walking distance, I’d be there way more often!
