Pumpkin Challenge Days 1 – 5
Day 1: Pumpkin Banana Bread This delicious and vegan recipe was pulled from Hidden Fruits and Veggies! It turned out great, and I chalk that up to an excellent recipe… But how could it turn out any other way when it is full of chocolate chips? Day 2: Pumpkin Chai Latte A favourite staying-in go-to…

Kizzy’s Macarons
Recently, I was asked to take product shots for a BC-based company called Kizzy’s Macarons. “So what you’re saying is… You want to hire me to do food photography…?OKAY.” That was how that conversation went.

‘Tis the Season… For Farmers Markets!

I May do this and I May do that…
A new month! How exciting (and occasionally rainy).I have completed another year of university (unless something goes horribly wrong with my final two grades that I’ve yet to receive) – and it was a pretty good one!
