I’m going to keep this short since I’m still on vacation, and trying not to spend a lot of time on my computer. Of course, I couldn’t resist jumping in with a little What I Ate Wednesday to show you some of my west coast favorites.

Breakfast

My favorite breakfast so far was definitely the brunch I mentioned on Monday. I was smitten with the little carafe of French Press coffee.

French Press CoffeeI’ll pretend like I wasn’t slightly confused on how and when to actually drink the coffee. It was still quaint and lovely.

On our way out of Seattle, we stopped by a Mediterranean place for lunch, and I had some delicious falafel. We were the only people in the restaurant, which was strange, but the food was delicious, and reasonably priced.

Nothing like a little tahini drizzled on top.

 After a quick stop to see the Washington capital, we crossed the border into Oregon, and arrived in Portland. Shortly after checking into our hotel, we took a long walk around the city, and stopped in at a pasta place that a co-worker had recommended.

Justa Pasta had very reasonably priced pasta and wine, so Alex and I split a bottle of a Portuguese red, and I had a plate of three cheese ravioli with marinara sauce. This totally hit the spot.

We’re headed out of Portland later today, and heading towards Napa Valley. Follow me on Instagram to see more pictures!
