Pair of pears

Dan and I ordered a pear tree for our backyard today from Friends of Trees. Soon we will be making little baby pears just like these!

Don't cry, but..

Well, not much to say about this today. I shot a red onion this morning, and I think it looks pretty cool, so there.

It was either the onion or my shoes. Don't get too excited, but maybe tomorrow you'll luck out and get a pic of my favorite converse.

A new year

Since the beginning of time I have obviously been a very bad blogger, posting only a few times a year. Bad, bad me! In 2011 I am going to try to change that. My friend Lisa started a 30 day challenge for bloggers. 10 bloggers chose a challenge and are video blogging about it everyday. My challenge to myself is to simply blog everyday for 30 days...so here I am! Here is a link to her blog:

One of my ongoing projects is for my client Organics To You We are trying to have a photo and catalog all of the produce that comes in their bins. A few weeks ago P must have been the theme of my produce box because in it, amongst other things were Persimmons, Parsnips and Pomegranate. Here's to produce that starts with P!

Good morning Portland!

Over the last month we have been moving into a new house. Of course as a prerequisite it had to have good light. Our dining room is all windows on 2 sides so it's perfect! My breakfast looked so good the other day I had to turn it into a little photo shoot. Thanks Organics To You for the amazing grapefruit!

Green greens

I got this gorgeous kale awhile back from Organics to you. It was so beautiful..it begged to be photographed. I just love healthy, nutritious, beautiful food!

Autumn food!

One of my favorite things to do is cook. One of my commercial clients is Organics to You. They have changed the way I eat! Getting fresh organic produce delivered to your door weekly is one of the best things that I could ever do for my body. It inspires me to cook and create recipes and share food with friends. I plan on photographing some of my creations and posting them here. I recently made this Potato Leek soup. So simple and tasty! Although high in those carbs so eat it in moderation!

Boil about 4 largish gold potatoes
Saute 1 leek and 1 smallish onion
Blend potatoes, leek mixture, a little half and half, and chicken broth.
Re-heat and add some freshly grated Parmesan.
Top with fresh chives, fresh cracked pepper and some 'fancy' salt.
Yumm!
