I'm back from a great, quick weekend in Portland. One of our mid-day snacks was at Grüner for an afternoon snack. My favorites were the warm marion berry jam filled donuts {top} and the fried smashed yellow finn potatoes {bottom}…a perfect afternoon pick-me-up… — Joy

I’m having my morning apple wishing it was one of those doughnuts… hahaha 😀
I take my lunch break in about an hour and now I’m simply salivating! All of that looks SO YUMMY! The donuts…oohhh…shivers!
Thanks for sharing!<3
I usually am not a big doughnut fan but those look so good and tasty. If one was on front of me I do not think I would even hesitate to try one.
The potatoes look delicious as well.
those donuts look to die for!
I live two blocks from Gruner and have been meaning to stop in, those donuts might make it urgent!
What is the middle dish?
I love Portland and those donuts look so very very good. Jealous.
Hi Rachael,
You should GO for sure! The middle is a beet soup!
Joy
Gheesh! The donuts look incredible! Will definitely have to check them out soon. Had a great time at the class Joy, was great to meet you!
Wow, those donuts look TO-DIE-FOR. How fun and yummy =)

Hi Joy!
We have noticed you have quite a sweet tooth, and so do we! We made homemade ice cream sandwiches the other day that turned out awesome- found the photo from a Pinterest post…
