Make every meal killer with Dave’s Killer Bread! You heard it right- the right on way to making each meal organic, healthy, and surely-killer. Dave’s bread is the toast to your butter and jam, the brilliant to burgers, and the mouth-watering savvy to sandwiches! Yum…yum…yum. Try it out and you won’t go back! The days of processed white bread are out of date. In fact, the days of bread without any nutritional value should be wiped off the shelf. Make a good choice and be “the good seed” in your daily diet choices. Those days of criminal eating should be a place of the past.  -From your loving fan-Amy.

Breakfast anyone? Try Cup and Saucer specializing in breakfast all-day. One of my favorites- The Lucky Scramble which combines the delicious tastes of bacon, mushroom, green onion and cheddar cheese scrambled with three eggs on top of potatoes. Yum! For hot sauce lovers- they tend to have at least three varieties at every table so there’s no need to worry about things getting too mild. This breakfast spot is a great place for a good meal, interesting art, big windows for people watching, and often-loud company due to close quarters. If scrambles aren’t your angle do not fret there’s plenty of delicious options- omelets of all kinds, western breakfast burrito, pancakes, french toast, homemade granola or oatmeal, and then- there’s still lunch and dinner. Check out one of their locations and go eat!

Saturday Market is located at and around:

SW Akeny & SW Naito Park Way

Weekends after 11am

If you’re coming from home, the easiest way to get there is by hopping on the MAX for free since it’s in fareless square! Riding from any stop heading East (from Indigo 12 West) will drop you off at the Skidmore Fountain stop, which is right at Saturday Market.

Many of you are wondering “Is it dog friendly?” Absolutely! Just remember to be courteous and pick up after your little friends do thier business :o)

Indigo’s concierge recently got a stack of coupons–tempting little flyers that promise beautiful things to those wise enough to take one.

Doughnuts 009

Please excuse my hand shadows.

Today I grabbed the flyer for Mr. Jolly’s Coffee and Bar, located at 9th and Everett. The coupon promised me a dozen mini doughnuts for only 25 cents, with the minimum purchase of a coffee. Excuse me? Buy my morning coffee and get a dozen freshly made doughnuts thrown in? Yes, please!

So this morning I wandered over to Mr. Jolly’s to check this deal out. First of all, I feel like I’ve discovered a new hang-out place. The coffee bar is Roaring 20’s theme, with antique decorations, a chalk menu, and (get this) live swing music! Oh, yes, I can definitely see myself there on a dark night, sipping wine and tapping my toes.

Doughnuts 003

But back to the doughnuts. I sipped my latte while peering through the window as they dropped the little morsels of joy into the fryer. Out they came on a little belt and into the chocolate and powered sugar they went. Packaged in a white paper bag, I finally had them in my hands. Then, deliciously, in my mouth.

Doughnuts 004

Moral of the story? Always take flyers. Especially if they have anything to do with doughnuts. The other moral: go to Mr. Jolly’s, because freshly made mini doughnuts dipped in chocolate and powered sugar are completely worth it.

I love breakfast and for that matter, who doesn’t? My weekend ritual of heading out of the house and scouting out a place with tasty bites and good drinks can be very adventurous. Finding a place with a lively environment and outdoor seating is an extra plus, especially with the weather beginning to warm up! A newly discovered brunch favorite: Screen Door located at 2337 E Burnside. Their plates offer a mountain of goodness ranging from mouth-watering biscuits n’ gravy, fried chicken and waffles, scrumptious eggs benedicts, and much, much more! Their biscuits and gravy hit the spot!

DIY Applesauce

01.27.10

We at Indigo like to do things a little bit differently. We see regular apartments, and we like to make them better. We see a service, and we like to do it more often. It might take a bit more work, but the end product always turns out amazing!

Today, let’s apply that theory to the humble art of applesauce. Growing up, my mom made applesauce, and I remember those days as long, hot, ardous, and sweaty. I don’t have any time for such a long process! But here’s a secret–that was canning applesauce. What if you just wanted a little jar to eat up this week, or put on your pancakes?

The humble applesauce. What can be yummier?

The humble applesauce. What can be yummier?

The solution is easy, quick, and much tastier than Mr. Applesauce Brand you can buy down the street. Try this:

Take 3-4 apples like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp (for you local fans). Stick them in a microwave for 10 minutes with some butter, honey, cinnamon, and apple cider or juice. Take out of microwave, mash, and enjoy on toast, potato pancakes, or plain! Try it once, and you’ll never buy applesauce again…

Create your perfect applesauce, or try the real recipe from Good Eats’ Alton Brown here.
