When I did my Real Food Styling & Photography Workshop with Matt and his husband, Adam, a few months back I saw the advance copy of it in their studio. I even saw some of the dishes in their studio that appear in various shots in the book. Everything in the book is On a Stick. Hence the title. Some more “common” foods are featured on a stick like tofu on a stick, caprese salad on a stick, and popcorn balls on a stick....

Looking for more refreshing drink recipes? Try this Oreo Milkshake, Strawberry Lemonade, Green Smoothie, or Frozen Hot Chocolate! Why I love this recipe: As good as the Original: I remember strolling the mall as a kid and begging my mom for a drink from Orange Julius. This homemade Orange Julius recipe is the perfect copycat recipe that’s every bit as good as the original, and so inexpensive and easy to make from home....

Especially when it’s buttery soft French toast that tastes a lot like soft gingerbread and molasses cookies. This is my last holiday-related recipe. While I don’t usually miss certain foods and flavors because as a blogger all I need to do is blink and it’s back to pink pastel things for Easter or an abundance of apple and pumpkin recipes in the fall, I will miss being able to blog at will about molasses and ginger....

Cowboy Peanut Butter Cookies One of the most popular (recent) cookie recipes on my site is for Cowboy Cookies. You don’t have to be a cowboy or cowgirl to love them. I’m neither, but am a huge fan of these cookies because they’re hearty, loaded with texture, and have so many wonderful flavors going on in every bite. Since everything is better with peanut butter, I incorporated it into the recipe and love the results....

Peanut Sauce Chicken Wraps Recipe I’m a major peanut sauce fanatic. The more, the merrier because it makes everything taste amazing. And we’re also big fans of lettuce wraps. I have a Mexican version and a P.F. Chang’s Copycat Recipe. It was time to incorporate my love of peanut sauce into peanut chicken lettuce wraps. These wraps are easy, ready in 20 minutes, healthy, naturally gluten-free, light yet satisfying, and loaded with so much peanut flavor....

But it was fun homework. Or you may not really think this is fun because I am about to make you want to toss this salad out the window with all the salad pictures to follow. I am “turning in my homework” by showing how not moving the food at all, just moving myself, impacts lighting which makes such a huge difference in photos. Here we go… In the first two photos I have lighting coming in from two sources: in front of me and behind me, i....

Non-Alcoholic Piña Colada Smoothie Recipe Oh how I love a piña colada for breakfast. This version doesn’t have alcohol in it, but you can fix that if you’d like. I was sorting through my photos and realized I made this smoothie when we were in Aruba in August and didn’t post the recipe. It’s now or never, because all of a sudden I feel like I won’t be cool if I don’t have a steady stream of apple and pumpkin recipes coming daily....

comment icon 53 more comments This is a true story, by the way. I only tell true stories. After I poured the frosting all over my face freshly baked pumpkin bars, I went in for the first taste test. That’s not counting the taste test(s) that happened while the butter and sugar were melting in the saucepan. Frosting + pumpkin bar -> mouth. Be still my beating heart. I’m not trying to ignore the goodness of the pumpkin bars, but there is nothing quite like melted butter and brown sugar frosting that is somehow both creamy and glazey at the same time....

I am grateful for things like San Diego sunshine, palm trees, and abundant flowers. I’m grateful for my Enjoy Shampoo Dear God, my hair was greasy and needed a wash. But natural oils are good for it, right? <– That’s what I keep telling myself plus think of all that time I saved! And, that’s what pony tails are for on days 2, 3, and ahem day 4, right? Finally, clean hair today!...

Thanks for the feedback and comments you gave me about what you buy in bulk and if you’re a bulk shopper or not. And what you do to try to save money at the grocery or health food store. And also the products you purchase at Sam’s, Costco, or the Warehouse Clubs! There were some good tips and comments from you; muchas gracias! And it sounds like you all are TV fans!...

Red Curry Meatballs Recipe I am a huge curry fan — whether it’s Thai-inspired or Indian-inspired — it’s hard to resist all the wonderful depth and intensity of flavors in curry recipes. These beef meatballs are richly seasoned with Madras curry powder, garam masala, ginger, coriander, cumin, and more. They’re juicy, tender, and pack a whollop of Indian flavors in every succulent bite. Then there’s the homemade red curry sauce that has so many fragrant and rich dried spices in it, along with dried chili peppers, diced tomatoes, lime, cilantro, and plenty more....

I also swung by the UPS Store to drop off my Garmin. Sad but true, I sent it back. Why? Well you may remember that I posted about the chest strap being too big even on the tightest setting. Everyone’s tips were great, but it kept slipping and no matter how I tried to jimmy it underneath my sports bra and position it differently, it was simply too big on me....

Roast cherries, eat cherries, roast cherries, eat cherries. Eat cherries. And I’ve run out of cherries. Replenish cherry supply. This is how I run out of money. And if I attempt to make the same batch of cherry brownies 3 times (yes. three. times.), I can guarantee you that I will not run out of brownies. But I will run out of chocolate. Unless you have a genius stash of chocolate somewhere that I don’t know about....

There’s almost nothing I love more than homemade Mexican food! If you love smothered burritos be sure to try my Pollo Fundido Burrito, Chicken Taquitos, and Mole Enchiladas. A Smothered Burrito is a burrito that has been covered in sauce and cheese. These green chile burritos are smothered in a creamy green enchilada sauce that you’ll be tempted to eat straight from the pot with a spoon. You could also make these smothered burritos with red enchilada sauce....

Easy Fudge Brownie Cookies Recipe These cookies have been on my bucket list for years. I only wish I had checked them off my list sooner, because I loved every fudgy center and chewy-edged bite. They’re one hundred percent from scratch, no cake mix, no brownie mix, no shortcuts. The recipe is adapted from Donna Hay, who’s been called the Australian Martha Stewart. After converting grams of butter to tablespoons, and using regular granulated sugar in place of superfine caster sugar, I thought I was in for smooth sailing....

Well that’s what happened to me when I read a post of Gina’s recently and she had yellow squash photographed. And from that moment on, I was like a pregnant lady in need of pickles: I had to have some yellow squash! So I made it. Also featured are: *B.S. (Brussels’s Sprouts, but there’s always lots of B.S. around here, too) *red peppers *zucchini *greens *Agave & Crack Black *And I squeezed the juice of a half an orange over everything and let the acid from the fruit juice do the work of cooking the veggies!...
