Thursday afternoon, I had the privilege of practicing my photography skills on one of the cutest and dearest families I know. We headed to downtown Gilbert to snap a few shots, the first photos they’ve taken as a family of four. We caught some beautiful light, and thanks to my photography class last weekend, I knew how to keep the little guys in focus. Those eyes…those wispy-haired brothers…I melt. After…
I’ve decided to go back through some of my earliest recipes and adapt them to my new gluten-free lifestyle. Some of them are easier to tweak than others, like this stuffed acorn squash. My original post was featured on Mint.com’s “7 Vegetarian Meals for $10 or Less” and showcased one of my first stabs at food photography. The recipe didn’t have to be adapted much to make it gluten-free, a…
Jeff and I were sitting around at lunch time on Saturday and suddenly had a hankering for curry. I found out how easy it was to make the week before when I made shrimp curry for the first time. Basically all you need is curry paste, coconut milk, and a little chicken broth. Easy peasy. I had some chicken thighs that needed to be used, so I got to work.…

Which means my kitchen table is completely covered in paper scraps at all times. And I haven’t…

This week I’ve been devouring bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, apples, and grapes. When I started to think about what I would do for this month’s Recipe ReDux challenge (a…
Remember when I told you about the fact that I’m a piler, not an organizer? Well, this holds true to computer files too. It’s the reason Jeff and I can’t share a computer. His desktop is perfectly organized with maybe one or two folders on the main screen. Mine? You can’t even see the background image half the time because there are so many photo files splashed across the page.…
I’ve been seeing so many fun 4th of July recipes popping up lately, but many of them use food coloring to achieve their red, white and blue hues. I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of some patriotic recipes that get their colors from nature. Enjoy!
