Tomatoes from the garden, harvested during a much sunnier time than now. I've admittedly been a bit absent on IG the past couple months. After I got back from Croatia in October, I've been working on other projects that have been really demanding of my time + energy, so I haven't been able to be here as much with y'all. ๐ . At the end of the day, I need to listen to my body + what it needs. And what it needed was to not look at my phone all the time, so that's pretty much what I've been doing. Yes, my 'engagement' (don't you just hate that word? ) and follower count have taken a hit for it, but none of that actually matters, and it's more important to be present every day and live the kind of life that makes me grateful for the people in it. ๐ . I've noticed my memory improving, and I can focus on tasks for much longer than I used to. I can also read books for longer periods without getting distracted. I'm also more patient and relaxed. It's crazy what phones + IG are doing to our brains...sometimes I wonder if we'll look back at the heavy usage of cell phones the way we look back now at the folks who used to smoke all the time in the 1950's. ๐ . All this to say, I just want to share a reminder to put your phone down. Especially with the holidays coming up, try to be present in the moments you have with your family + friends. Instead of pulling out your phone to take pictures + videos, pay attention with your eyes + heart + mind and sear the moment into your memory. Experience and be a part of the world you live in. ๐ . While yes, technology has brought us all together here, it should also have boundariesโand it shouldn't substitute for the magic and wonder of the real life going on all around you. ๐ . . . . . . #freshfromthegarden #gardenfresh #gardenveggies #gardentotable #homegrown #gardenharvest #freshpicked #gardenveggies #summerveggies #cleaneats #eatinghealthy #eatrealfood #wholefoods #healthycooking #healthyeats #healthyfoodshare #wholefood #wholesome #๏ฌrstweeat
Taking the wet weather outside as a cue to stay indoors and get realllll cozy. Sometimes I can be hard on myself for getting cooped up and not moving around, but with weather like this it feels good to just stay inside and do computer work instead of all the physical stuff that needs to be done in the garden. ๐ฌ . This miso butter chicken from @asecretlanguage is up on the blog at AdventuresInCooking.com and I can guarantee that it tastes as good as it looks! Plus it's wildly easy to makeโperfect for a cozy + quick dinner ๐งก .

Playing with plating this panna cotta and blueberry olive oil curd made with @carapelliUSA Il Centario #ExtraVirginOliveOil , pressed from olives harvested from 100 year-old olive oil trees in Italy. #ad ๐ณ . I love the inspiration that flows through me every time I start preparing a dish, beginning with the selection of ingredients and ending with the way I plate it. I especially love playing with textures throughout the plating process, like the contrast between the rough texture of the flake sea salt and bee pollen and the silky smooth Il Centario @carapelliUSA #OrganicOliveOil . ๐ . Il Centarioโs light + fruity taste pairs perfectly with a wide array of dishes, and leaves a soft pleasant peppery taste that always leaves me ready for another bite : ) @CarapelliUSA has been making olive oil for 125+ years, and this special Il Centario edition harnesses the beauty and flavor of all those years of experience. You can purchase it on amazon's storefront via the link in my profile while itโs available! ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ . . . . . . . #MyCarapelliCraft #CenturiesofMastery #firstweeat #eattheworld #heresmyfood #foodandwine #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #forkfeed #tastingtable #seriouseats #foodoftheday #insiderfood #lovecooking
Growing up in a Greek household, a succulent roast leg of lamb has always been a mainstay of our holiday festivities. The flavor of American-raised @fanoflamb is incredible, and I love that Iโm supporting local farmers when I purchase + prepare it. #ad ๐ . Compared to other proteins, American lamb has a much lower environmental impact. American shepherds measure sustainability in three areas: animal care, community support and environmental stewardship. Achieving a perfect balance of the three means raising lamb in a way that strengthens its families, employees and communities, and nourishes the land for future generations. ๐ฟ . From pastoral grasslands to high country alpine meadows, 6 million sheep from over 80,000 family farmers roam breathtaking US rangelands. Family farmers and ranchers raise lamb in every state across the US, making local @fanoflamb available wherever you are! ๐ . Also, all American Lamb graze on a variety of nutrient-dense grasses, legumes and forage, producing succulent, tender and nutrient-dense meat. ๐๐ผ . I have the recipe for my familyโs traditional Greek-style leg of lamb in the carousel above, itโs chock-full full of delicious lemon-y herbal flavors and a bed of soft tender potatoes. If youโre looking for something delicious, simple, and eye-catching to make for this holiday season, Iโve got you covered! ๐๐๐ผ๐ . And P.S., make sure to get American lamb! Approximately 50% of lamb consumed in the US is imported from Australia and New Zealand. American Lamb travels up to 10,000 fewer miles and about 30 days less than imported lamb. #fanoflamb ๐๐ผ . . . . . . #foodstyling #foragebyfolk #farmtotable #myopentable #morningslikethese #thatsgoodhousekeeping #thehomesteadlife #foodwinewomen #yahoofood #foodphotography #foodstagram #inmykitchen #slowfood #storyofmytable #tablesituation #tastespotting #vscofood #bbcgoodfood #beautifulcuisines
I travel a lot for work, and sometimes being on the road can be lonely and make home feel painfully far away. There's one place that's different, though, and has always felt like a home-away-from-home since the beginning. @Villa_sancta_maria is my special little slice of heaven, perched atop a hilltop in western Croatia, and it's where I close my eyes and imagine myself whenever I'm stressed or overwhelmed. ๐ . This beautiful old stone farmhouse has seen so many incredible women pass through it over the past 5 years of hosting retreats there. So many different conversations gathered around @tournantpdx 's fire in the hearth of the kitchen, stomachs full with their delicious food, laughter echoing through the living room. ๐ . From sitting by the pool soaking up the view, to relaxing on the balcony with some local Istrian wine, there's no place I'd rather be at any given moment. The house just has this warm welcoming feeling that instantly puts me at ease...it feels like an emotional hug right when you walk through the door. ๐ . Whenever I'm gone, I miss @villa_sancta_maria so, so muchโbut I can always look forward to next year's visit. I can't imagine a year not coming to this special place, it's like a creativity pilgrimage that my mind and body need. And I can't wait to visit again in May when @bealubas and I are hosting *two* workshops there together. If you want to be emailed when registration opens the week after next, you can join the mailing list via the link in my profile!๐๐ผ .

I woke up to the first snow of winter this week, and while it was a light dusting, it was a friendly reminder from mother nature that I still need to cut back and mulch all the dahlias + other cold-sensitive plants in the garden ๐ฌ . It's been really busy here work-wise, so the garden chores have been on the back-burner a bit. But I've also just really enjoyed staying warm + cozy inside, drinking lots of tea, and petting the animals. ๐๐ถ๐ . It's hard to push yourself to go work outside in the cold when it's oh-so-comfy indoors! But seriously guys, this weekend. This weekend I *will* catch up on my winterizing chores. Really. I will. But first, maybe some tea... โ๏ธ๐ฅฐ . . . . . . . #afternoonteatime #tealover #springtea #teaforlife #teatime โ๏ธ #teatime ๐ต #teaenthusiast #tealifestyle #drinktea #instatea #lovetea #teaholic #teaoftheday #winter #wintertime #coziness

Welcome to PART II of the Q&A series about my signature Photography + Styling + Branding Course! ๐ซ . If you havenโt joined yet, I want to address some of the most common questions that have come up about it, and if you have another question feel free to leave it in the comments below + check out some of the Q&A's I've been doing in my IG stories, too! ๐๐ผ . Q: I am so overwhelmed, I just donโt know if I have the time for something like this right now. ๐ฐ . A: Time is not something you have to worry about with my course. You get lifetime access, you can go at your own pace, everything from videos to pdfs can be downloaded, there is no rush whatsoever. I want you to go at the pace that works best for you to *learn*. ๐ก . Q: Iโve done an online course before with someone else and was really underwhelmed. ๐ . A: I totally get that. But in my case, I've taught **thousands of hours of courses**, both online and in person. Half the attendees of my advanced Croatia retreat were repeat students from previous entry level workshops I've taught. What I teach and *how* I teach truly resonates with my students. ๐๐ผ . Iโm an open book and I share *everything* about creating beautiful images with you in this course. But you DON'T have to take it from me! Thereโs many, *many* testimonials from happy + gifted students on the course page, and you can read through them via the link in profile๐๐ผ๐ญ๐คธ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ญ .

Holy moly, guys! ๐ I'm doing a two-part post series today + tomorrow to address some of the most common questions that have come up about my signature Photography + Styling + Branding Course! There's lots of deets via the link in profile, too! ๐๐ผ Let's dive in! โก๏ธ . Q: Iโm definitely curious about improving my photography + overall visual branding. I want to do this, but I donโt know if I have a good enough camera. . A: If you tuned into my lighting masterclass, you know that there is SO much more that goes into creating a beautiful image than just the fancy expensive gear you have (my lighting kit totals around $41 ). In the course Iโll explain why some cameras cost a lot more than others (hint! It has to do with something called a sensor ), and some work arounds for older DSLR cameras that might not have certain setting options. ๐ธ . Q: How long is the course? . A: Thereโs over 5 hours of video content, with assignments for you to complete paired with each lesson, so it will take time to work through it, but a very *manageable* amount of time. I specifically created this course to be approachable and *give you results in the shortest amount of time possible*. Letโs sit crooked and talk straightโI donโt want to give you fluff. I know your time is valuable, and I donโt want to waste it with irrelevant side tracks + long boring monologues. Everything in the course has been distilled down to help you LEARN and IMPROVE as *quickly and simply* as possible. โณ . Stay turned for another double-dose of questions tomorrow, and if you have any other questions about the course feel free to reply below with your Q! ๐ฅฐ . . . . . . #foodphotoshoot #photographytips #photographytutorial #eatpretty #learnphotography #foodphotographer

I show you my lighting kit, and how affordable it is for anyone to put together. And I dispell some of the myths about lighting for dark vs light styles of photography. ๐ . If you just put those new skills to use on your brand and start quickly taking images with killer dynamic lighting, thatโs awesome and Iโm *so* happy to be able to help!! ๐๐ผ . But if you want to keep this journey of speedy and straightforward improvement going, I am here waiting for you at the open door to my signature Photography, Styling, and Branding Course for just FOUR more days! ๐ .

Do you prefer light or dark? **SWIPEโก๏ธ** If you're curious about how I lit these two very different images, I'm hosting a *free* lighting masterclass and you can grab your spot via the link in profile! ๐๐ผ . If you can't make it live, no worries! I'll send you a replay link so you can still catch all the goodness! ๐คฉ . I really love playing with the dynamic between light and dark images.

I'd love to share my 3 secrets to picture-perfect lighting with you, so if you haven't joined the free masterclass yet, definitely hop on up to the link in my profile and reserve your space!

Chestnut season is upon us, friends! It's a time to slow down, take things step by step, and focus on the little pleasing things in life, and nothing epitomizes this more than the preparation of a chestnut. ๐ฐ . These little hard-shelled pebbles require an 'x' lightly carved into them before roasting, and then once roasted and still hot (but not TOO hot ), you need to peel off the hard shell that curled back under your 'x' when they were in the hot oven, leaving the golden meat of the chestnut exposed for you to see. ๐ . This tasty filling is somewhere between the creamiest nutty flavor and the butteriest potato. It's a key component of the recipe for @asecretlanguage 's brown butter, chestnut, and caramelized leek potatoes that's currently up at AdventuresInCooking.com. If you're looking for a knock-it-out-of-the-park holiday meal, or even something to kick your dinner up a knotch, let me point you in that direction. ๐คฉ .

A little pumpkin cassoulet from the #FirstWeEat cookbook to brighten your Tuesday morning! ๐ . A cassoulet is a French bean stew with sausage, onion, bacon, TONS of aromatic herbs, and potatoes. It's very comforting and cozy and really perfect for this time of year. ๐ฒ . I've been working hard on a few different projects that I'm very excited to share with you soon. ๐ค In the meantime, though, Jeremy and I went to the Oregon coast this past weekend for a little work-break, and it was SO nice to just lay around the little beach cabin and watch the dogs run like maniacs on the beach. ๐๐๐ . We also ate a *very* large quantity of amazing seafood, (hello, crab and shrimp sandwich lunch paired with a dozen oysters ), and it was the perfect little getaway from our temporarily heavy work loads. I love close mini-cations that don't involve getting on a plane or coordinating arrival times. Sometimes just driving a couple hours away can feel like you're in a whole other world ๐ . . . . . . #foodphotoshoot #photographytips #photographytutorial #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #foodphotography #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #learnphotography #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodphotographyprops #lovecooking #foodphotograpy #foodphotoprops #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee #drooolclub #foodstylist #foodphotography ๐ท #foragebyfolk #foodphotononstop #foodfluffer

'Tis the season for delicious wine and appetizer pairings! I've been having a blast with the 'Oh What Fun!' wine advent calendar from @krogerco lately, and have been pairing my favorite wines with some quick and easy appetizers I made with ingredients picked up from @krogerco along with the wines! #ad ๐ท . I did an Italian Pinot Grigio paired with spicy sardine crackers, a French Cotes du Rhone paired with herbed roasted nuts, and an Australian Shiraz paired with paprika whipped feta and roasted cherry tomato crostinis (and I have the recipe for the crostinis below! ) ๐ฅ . It was so interesting to taste the wine without the food pairing, and then do it again after having a bite of the dish. It's incredible the way a good pairing can bring out the flavors of the wine! ๐คฉ . Highly recommend giving the @krogerco , wine advent calendar a go this yearโit's super fun and perfect for holiday entertaining!

I love this time of year because I feel like the pressure of "doing" is lifted. In the summer there's so much to do socially out in the world, and soooo much to keep up with out in the garden, that I don't get much time to just hole up and nest. ๐ . And as I get older, I enjoy the nesting aspect of life more and more. There's something to be said about spending the evening in, playing Scrabble and petting dogs, and then reading a bit before passing out around 10 pm. It feels prettttty dang good. ๐ . My younger self would be very confused about why I prefer this to running around and being out in the world, but I'd just pat her on the head and endow her with a simple "you'll see". There's magic in being home, and no matter how far I travel or what things I see on the other side of the world, there is no place that suits me as much. ๐ . You other homebodies out there feel me on this one?? ๐ก๐๐ผ๐ซ . . . . . . . #autumncolors #autumnvibes #autumnishere #helloautumn #loveautumn #myfavouriteseason #iloveautumn #freshfromthegarden #gardenfresh #gardenveggies #gardentotable #firstweeat #foodphotoshoot #photographytips #photographytutorial #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #foodphotography #todayfood #farmtofork #foodphotograpy #foodphotoprops #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee
The fog has rolled in and the strangely sunny autumn we've been experiencing is over. What a relief! โ๏ธ . I know I'm weird, but I really prefer misty and overcast fall days to sunny ones. There's just something delightfully spooky and mysterious about it that I love. ๐ธ . And if you couldn't tell from my photography, I do love a touch of moodiness in the light. Who's with me?? ๐คฉ๐ . P.S. The recipe for this honeyed pear and blue cheese tart is up in the blog archives at AdventuresInCooking.com if you want to put some of those juicy pears to use while they're around! ๐๐๐ . . . . . #tart #tarte #pies #pears #firstweeat #foodphotoshoot #photographytips #photographytutorial #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #foodphotography #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #learnphotography #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodphotographyprops #lovecooking
