D is for Decadent Danish

decadent danish
I ate my Danish for D-day but didn't get a chance to write about it. Now, I do.

This Danish is... literally... six inches across. It's the most decadent thing for breakfast within a good 17-mile radius, scented with cinnamon and butter, dotted with crumb topping crumbles, sparkling with icing and swirled with raspberry jam. These delectable pastries, in a variety of flavors and many studded with whole blueberries or sliced local peaches, are baked fresh every day by Bowers Bakery in Portland. Just wait until you see the height of this ultra-yummy pastry.

Can you believe the dimensions of this Danish? I haven't tried every baked good in this frosted, cinnamony-swirled, fruit-filled category on God's delicious earth, but I've tried a lot of them. I can categorically say that this is the best I've ever tasted.

Follow that with a handfull of nuts or peanut butter and crackers for lunch and even a diabetic like me can thrive. Eating well doesn't have to taste badly. Maybe I should start a healthy-tastes-good blog. Hm.
