"Breakfast" Milkshake Recipe : Atlantic Superstore's 2018 Canadian Food Trends #OccasionalIndulgence

The second Atlantic Superstore 2018 Canadian Food Trend is “Occasional Indulgence” and I’ve combined two of my favourite things – vanilla ice cream and breakfast.

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. 🎂🥟🍣🍎
I was the kid who would choose to stay indoors reading Nancy Drew, and as I got older, Stephen King (um, hello, Dark Tower series anyone?!), over playing outside with friends. . I was the kid who would sit in front of my stereo for hours, in my bedroom by myself, playing guitar, writing down chords, learning my favourite songs. . I was the kid who used the closet under the stairs in our house as a hideaway pulling in a small dresser, a lamp, a single air mattress, and all of my favourite books. . Funny how the feelings my favourite memories evoke often shape my style and my photography. . What about you? What kind of kid were you? #fooddiary #deliciousfood #slowliving #foodblogfeed #vscofoodie #still_life_gallery #saveurmag #food52grams #eeeeeats #thefeedfeed #thatsdarling #vzcomade #tablesetting #thehub_food #foodphotography #hautecuisines #hocsupperclub #foreverfaffing #bakingtime #thebakefeed #tv_stilllife #dearphotographer #bakingtime #f52grams #beautifulfood #darkandmoody #foodstylingandphotography
The air is crisp and cool, just the way I like it, perfect for baking, light sweaters, and warm drinks. . What are you up to this weekend? 💜
@chefdolente’s recipe for char-grilled coriander lime chicken is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Find it in the current issue of @curatedhalifax magazine. 🍗🍻 . #halifax #dartmouth #novascotia #halifaxlocal #halifaxblogger #halifaxnoisefood #halifaxphotographer #halifaxharbour #halifaxwaterfront #halifaxfood #halifaxnovascotia #halifaxns #halifaxeats #halifaxlife #dartmouthns #downtowndartmouth #novascotian #novascotiaeats #visitnovascotia @carletonhalifax
It’s not quite time for tiny rich purple plums but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming about them or dreaming about walking through this orchard again.
I belong to a food photography Facebook group called Grey Salt Collective by @gina_weathersby. . Recently, Gina came up with an idea to pair group members together to shoot the same recipe and pair the shots afterwards in a side by side diptych to see how different, or similar, the interpretations were. . I was paired with Sarah from @honemade_photography and we both shot @occasionallyeggs' recipe for vegan berry peach galette with vanilla spelt crust on @baked_theblog. . It was such an inspiring exercise to see how our photos were so similar because we used the same recipe, yet so different thanks to our own unique styles. Check out Sarah's feed to see her versions and, if you're into food photography, join Gina's group! . #workyourcraft #greysaltcollective #studiolighting #thebakefeed #eatlocalns #novascotiaeats #novascotialife #visitnovascotia #halifaxnoisefood #foodphotographyandstyling #alienbees #studiolighting #veganbaking #halifax #dartmouth #eastcoastfoodies #summerrecipes #summerbaking #collaborationwork #collaborationovercompetition #womeninspiringwomen #womencreatives #bakingfun
All the summer fruit. 🍒🥧💥 . . . . . Thank you @gina_weathersby for the prompt and @occasionallyeggs for the great recipe on @baked_theblog. Google “vegan berry and peach galette” to make your own. .

My cat died on Tuesday and I shot this scene with artificial light. . These may seem like two random thoughts strung together but they’re actually not. . Photography. Being creative. Pushing myself to grow. . These are the things that save me from my thoughts, my sadness, and my grief. . These are the things that save me from myself. . The day after Pearl was euthanized I drove around the city alone, in a fog, unsure of what to do. I went to The Vegetorium and bought some yellow plums. I walked to Lake Banook and snipped armfuls of blackberry brambles, pricking my fingers, relishing each stinging note of pain on my skin. At home I figured out a new way to mount my camera, then got out my strobes and tried a new lighting set-up. As I tethered to my laptop and laid out my fruit I couldn't help but smile. For the very first time I got the soft, natural-looking light I've been chasing after and obsessed with for years. As I watched this light come to life on my screen, draping over leaves, shining on the roundness of cherries, and glinting on the flesh of plums, I was, for a few moments, so happy. . Thank you Pearl for 18 years of companionship. I will miss your extra toes more than I could ever say. 🐈 . Thank you @gina_weathersby for the push to create something new. To #workyourcraft. . And thank you @bealubas for the #belightinspired challenge. . #keepgoing #halifax #halifaxphotographer #dartmouth #novascotia #tidalbay #foodstylingandphotography #halifaxnoise #halifaxnoisefood #halifaxns #novascotiaeats #novascotiaphotographer #nswine #studiolighting #stilllifephotographer #stilllifestyling #foodstylingbackgrounds #foodphotographer #foodstylist #foodandflatlay #liveforthestory #onthetable #storyofmytable
For #AtlanticSuperstore’s third 2018 #TasteTheNewNext Canadian Food Trend #CookingOnTheClock my challenge was to come up with a recipe that can be on the table, in 40 minutes or less, that tastes amazing. . Enter my sesame noodles recipe! I make sesame noodles at least once a week and often change up the type of noodle, protein, vegetables, and garnish based on what I have on hand. These ones are topped with summer corn, zucchini, orange pepper, a drizzle of spicy butter, and a squeeze of fresh lime. I often use penne because it’s easy for my kid to eat! . Sesame noodles are easy, quick, and everybody loves them. Spend less time cooking and more time together at the table! . #winning #sponsoredpost #sesamenoodles #pennepasta #peanutbutter #sesameseeds #cornonthecob #zuchinni #peppers #freshlime #pastasalad #easyrecipe #summercooking

Nova 7 Brunch at EDNA

May 10, 2015 in Pink, Projects

I've been working with Benjamin Bridge since October and a few weeks ago I finally got to photograph the 'toast of Nova Scotia' - Nova 7. 

More pics are coming soon but I think this one is so soft, warm and pretty - perfect for Mother's Day!
