Photography Lately

Food and blogging; what a combination! We all like tasty food, right! Well what I like more is tasty food that looks good too. It’s more fun to eat pretty food too. When I first started blogging the whole getting food to look good in a picture was difficult and it still is at times. I’m still learning every day. There is so much that goes into taking a great food photo: you have your camera, your food, props, background boards, and lighting. Today I am excited about my new background board my husband put together for me. It really does make a huge difference when you have a few background boards to choose from when you are shooting pics of food. I feel like food just pops when on a white background board. But enough about that…because it’s blueberry muffin time!!

Food Inspiration

Food Inspires. Wait What?!
I have always liked baking and cooking. I used to be one of those that could be content with eating the same thing most of the time, but since I have had kids that has changed. I am constantly whipping up new things in order to introduce different foods to my kids (and husband! Ha!) They usually refuse them(mainly the kids here 😉 ) but I continue to do it in hopes that one day they will try it. There are so many means of food advertising these days and I really want our kids to grow up knowing how to cook and eat in a healthy way. I have certainly opened my husband’s eyes to food. I really love seeing the range of looks on his face as we sit down to eat sometimes: 1) raised eyebrows ➡️ 2) hopefulness ➡️ 3) surprise ➡️ 4) delight. At least, I love when that is the order and not the other way around! He still reminds me of the filets I made a couple of years ago for him but overdid it on the peppercorns a little. I mean a lot.
There are endless options when working with food and the more I cook, the more new ideas come to me. My three kids are inspiration to cook healthy yet tasty food. The younger they are when they learn to enjoy fresh and whole foods, the more likely they will be to adapt a healthier lifestyle. That’s my hope at least!!

Tasty Muffins

Now on to these delicious, moist, and flavorful blueberry lemon muffins with pistachio crumb topping! WOW! Just saying that makes my mouth water. Muffins are such an easy, classic recipe that are great for breakfast, brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner kinda day. I used the crumb topping with pistachios on half of the muffins and left the pistachios out on the other half to make them kid friendly. The kids loved these muffins!
I hope you do too!
