FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM

I don’t know about you but my Instagram DMs are a hotbed of conversation these days.
.
Everything from the joy of eating Cheez Wiz, to the mental health battles that go with being an entrepreneur. Or, the fear we feel about showing our true selves on social media, to questions about food photography.
.
My DMs are a mixed bag of thoughts, questions, feelings, and emotions, and if they’ve taught me anything it’s this : YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And neither am I. ❤️

Pop over to @baked_theblog today where I’m talking about 5 easy ways to add tea to your baked goods. The link is in the Baked bio!

One of the things I struggle with in food photography isn’t the photography itself (though don’t get me wrong, teaching yourself and learning food photography is a process that takes years). Something I REALLY struggle with is the conundrum of making food look “real” and “natural” when it’s not.
.
But you see, that’s not quite right either because, all of the food I shoot IS real, and it’s ALL edible. But guess what? Every single noodle, chili flake, and pool of oil is placed EXACTLY where I want, and there’s nothing “natural” about that.
.
I balance this internal struggle of fake vs. real by trying to think of my work as art (which is a whole different conundrum because, actually daring to think of myself as an artist makes me cringe). But isn’t that what food photography is? A dance of emotion, colour, texture, skill, and personal expression? Isn’t that art?

I’m excited to be part of a new recipe swap challenge with members of @thesupperclubmag community. Called #plateincommon, it’s a group of 22 food photographers and bloggers from all over the world - Australia, Canada, United States, Switzerland, Croatia, Spain, and more - gathered by #hocsupperclub maven @kayonreynalls.
.
Every two weeks the entire group will be making a different recipe from one of the others in the group and, if you’re into it, you can join in by making the same recipe and hash-tagging #plateincommon and #acommonplate.
.
This week we all made @loveisinmytummy’s Chili Garlic Pasta with Curried Breadcrumbs. I made a big batch of spaghetti aglio olio with extra garlic and extra chilies (a staple in our household), added barely cooked, still crunchy red onion, and topped it with breadcrumbs cooked crispy with olive oil and yellow curry powder. Since I’m the only one in my house who eats onion I had to eat the whole batch by myself. Poooooooor me. 🤷‍♀️😂
.
Google “love is in my tummy garlic pasta” if you want to make the recipe and use the two hashtags I posted above to let us know if you do. Also feel free to modify the recipe to suit any dietary needs you have but FYI it’s already vegan!

I closed all of the windows in our apartment last night, but don’t worry, summer can live forever if you make @chefcraigflinn’s lobster roll recipe.

Shot and styled for the current issue of @curatedhalifax.

Chinese takeout on Friday night, sushi on Saturday night, and apples, warmed by the sun and plucked off the trees, on Sunday. Overall not a bad birthday weekend. 🎂🥟🍣🍎
