25 Facts About Me

1. I'm happiest in the rainy darker days rather then the sunny days. 

2. I can't wait to have a family of my own (I still have a ways- hold your horses).

3. Winter is my favorite time of the year. All during summer I'm thinking about what i'm going to wear or things i'm going to do when fall-winter comes.

4. I'm a huge list maker. I make lists about items I need to buy at the store, things I need to ask people the next day, anything list-able I will do it. 

5. I'm very family oriented. Any boy that i'm interested in or people that I meet and start to become friends with, if i'm not accepted by your family then it's really hard for me.

6. I absolutely love to cook, but am not always able to do it because of school or work.

12. I really push myself to be a confident and strong person. 

13. My mother is my hero. She's so strong and always knows just what to say.

14. When i'm nervous I bite the inside of my cheeks and lips. One time I did this and then went to talk to someone and had blood all over my teeth. It was quite embarrassing. 

15. I don't like dogs except my dog Julie because she's more a person then a dog. (;

To Eat or Not to Eat?

Blackened tacos and Hibiscus tea from Natives Cafe. 

  In the past 2 years i've learned that I'm majorly allergic to wheat/gluten.  Finding foods that I can eat in town, wether i'm going for dinner with friends or a lunch by my self, is so difficult!  Yes, I've been that girl who sits with her friends at a restaurant and while my girls have heaping plates of food, I'm stuck eating the mixed greens salad.  It can be utterly unsatisfying and frustrating not being able to pick any item off a menu and eat it.
   Although, it seems in the past six months gluten free labels have been appearing more, and people are becoming aware of food allergies, such as gluten.  I have a bundle of restaurants that I enjoy and know I can go to that have gluten free options, but it's usually only one or two items.  I haven't been able to find a restaurant that makes delicious gluten free dinner items.  Usually i'll eat a big lunch if i'm in town and have little to no dinner, which is actually healthier for me anyways!
   For a number of years, my wonderful mother has had a dream sit on the "back burner", and that is having a cafe. It would be mainly vegan, have gluten free options, have a full juice bar, and what ever else she or I(mainly she) thinks up!  I think it'd be awesome if she pursued it, but like most dreams, there are other variables such as money and time.  She also has recently discovered her allergy to corn and gluten. I thought just having gluten as a allergy was bad enough, imagine not being able to have tacos or chips with salsa!
   After everything said, I thought I'd make a list of all my favorite places to eat in Portland, Oregon.  Keep in mind I'm not only gluten free, but also vegetarian.  So, all if not most will be vegan/vegetarian restaurants.  (:
