Moxie Rx is Closed

We are excited to begin a new adventure... things are uncertain right now, but no fear we will return. We loved being a part of the neighborhood & knowing all of you . Like all things in life change is always around the corner... Closing was something we were moving towards.... selling was really what we wanted. We had buyer that would have kept that warm welcoming feel & really added to the neighborhood, but there was a complaint about us & that forced the ball to start rolling with the city. The deal breaker was that we are required to be on pavement. My landlord & friend Rachel wasn't really interested in paving the lot since it was one of the few green spaces on Mississippi Ave. We would have had to pave across the lot from the alley & that was just unacceptable. So we decided to deconstruct.... Here are some pictures from over the years.
We had such great times here & will miss everyone.... but look at all the great memories. All the events we had Movie Night, Puppet Stock, & Live Music. Being a part of Eat Mobile & the Mississippi Street Fair was always a way to stretch my creative muscle..... I have always love creating space!

Thanks to everyone for all you support over the years! We will see you all around the neighborhood & keep in touch.

Check in now and again to see what is up with us.... we are working on a brick and mortar space

so stay tuned .....

love & peace

Wondy Wendy Weihs

My dear friend Wendy was in a car mash up in LA..... some friends got together to organize a fund raiser for her expenses. We are helping out with 6 dozen cookies to 6 lucky people! The delicious flavors to choose from are our famous Ginger Lime Macaroons or the ever smokey Mesquite Chocolate Chunk. We will pack these up & send them to your door. So please help our friend Wendy & yourself to some indulgence! Here is the facebook page where the auction is being held.

cranberries & closing....

My favorite part of thanksgiving is cranberry sauce.... I always make extra so I can eat it by the bowl full before I ever think about roasting a turkey. I like to add fresh ginger, orange zest, & cinnamon sticks for some extra zip.

We decided to close down the trailer after the cold snap last week. Daisy (the little trailer we love) just gets to cold & needs to go into hibernation. So we will keep you all posted.....

It will be sad to see the lights dim...... she is so beautiful & full of love. Hope everyone had a peaceful holiday...

Winter Squash & Cookies

These are my new favorite. Little Dumpling Squash has been making it to are table almost every night of the week. They are tender, sweet & extra good with butter (of course). I think I will stuff some this week with sausage, bread & cheese. We will also have Black Bean Chili with Grilled Pork, Roast Chicken & Root Vegetable Soup, & Tuscan White Bean Soup. We will also have a Strata with Smoked Salmon & Thyme......and later in the week I want to make some Mac & Cheese with buttery bread crumbs. I have been going a little cookie crazy.... so we will have Molasses Ginger Cookies, Oatmeal with Fig & Walnut & Dark Chocolate Sable.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by last week! It was nice to see friendly faces. I got to work out the new menu & start to fine tune what everyone is craving for fall. Warm & Hearty seems to be the thing.

So this week I will concentrate on just that!

We will have the little bites like the bacon wrapped dates & deviled eggs.

We will also have a Braised Beef Short Ribs with grainy mustard & red wine, Creamy Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout, & a sloppy Roast Pork Sandwich with apple carrot slaw. Soups will be Chicken & Spaetzle, Cauliflower & Blue Cheese, Carrot Coconut, & Cranberry bean, Kale, & Sausage. Maybe even a Pumpkin Curry could be in the works. So just remember not everything will be available everyday but, you know you will find something tasty. We will also have for your sweet tooth Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Molasses Frosting, Coco Crisp Cookies & Ginger Lime Macaroons.

Tempest Fugit

My how time flies....... I can't believe how much time has passed since I checked in last. Thanks to all of you who keep coming back to find the same old post, you are real troopers. We had a wonderful time in Hawaii. So beautiful & relaxing. The landscape is so amazing. We visited a beach with green sand, saw a rainbow eucalyptus, & saw some of the most colorful flowers. We stayed in this great little motel right on the beach.We could see the little schools of yellow fish from our room & wake up to the sound of the ocean. It was so nice to decompress.

Then we hit the ground running upon our return just 2 day before the Mississippi Street Fair. Icy Cold Watermelon Limeade for everyone! Then it was summer in full swing. I have been having fun making Ice Cream Sandwiches. Last week we had Roasted Banana & my Mom brought us some fresh raspberries from Sauvie Island so I had to make Ice Cream with them. I have been making them with a coco cookie I have made for years. It's very crisp & holds up nicely to the ice cream. This cookie recipe I tweaked a bit & it is now Gluten Free. So come by & see what flavor we have this weekend.

Open for Summer

We are really ready for summer. We extended our hours this pass weekend. We are now open Friday thru Monday 9-4. So if Summer would just hurry up & get here that would make us all happy. The Big juicer is back at work & we have been having a few more desserts on the menu. I have been inspired by custard, puddings & curds lately. It all started when I made Chocolate Pudding to take to Grandma's house. Who knows what this week will bring ...... Meyer Lemon Meringue Pie maybe

3rd Annual Eat Mobile Event

"It's homemade granola we make at the trailer with Greek yogurt & a raspberry rhubarb compote. The granola itself is gluten free & dairy free & there are no refined sugars in anything, we use agave, maple, & honey"
I think I said that a million times Saturday night at the 3rd Annual Eat Mobile Event. We had a great time & walked away with the Best Style Award. You know that made me feel proud & humbled. Everyone seemed to love the granola goodness we were sharing..... Who knew so many people would love rhubarb. Crazy for it they were.

I have to hand it to William , Lena, & my Mom for with out them I would never have been able to pull it off. They scooped & dolloped over 1300 samples......

Thanks to everyone who came out to support a great cause MercyCorps NW is awesome! They really do good work. A special thanks to all the people who gave us their peoples choice marble..... I think we received more this year than ever with so many kind words. Congrats to all the winners. Garden State as always tasty & innovating the street food scene. Whiffies Fried Pies.... I mean who doesn't love fried pie ! Way to go Whiffies ....

Eat Mobile ..... sold out!

It's that time of year..... Eat Mobile is this Saturday under the Morrison Bridge. We will be serving up our deliciously crunchy gluten free granola with Greek yogurt & raspberry rhubarb compote. It's always tricky to pick what to do for this event. Not just one thing represents all we do at Moxie Rx. So we will be closing early on Saturday (1pm) to get ready for the event. Hope you got tickets & can enjoy what Portland has to offer while supporting MercyCorps NW all at the same time.
