When you ask this question~

Why is it ,that I can make delicious food, but my photo's do not reflect ...just how Amazing it was and how much work I put in to it? They all look like a blended or a melted together experiment.

How we all have been there. Many times its not your cooking at all. There are savory dishes that would benefit from a ( Prep Before You Post ) Method.

Here is an example of a popular dish. (Pizza) It just so happens to be on Naan Bread. Can you spot the prominent ingredient , that ls so much more appealing to the eye before baking?

If you said... spinach, You are correct. I also pre-sautéed the mushrooms, because I like mine a little more cooked.

Although this is ready to be popped in the oven, its still a photo prep. Why? Well you are preparing a post ,by already having at least one photo before finished product.

This is helpful, because ~ after your dish has finished cooking, you may not be able to identify ingredients ( which in itself is not bad) ... but aesthetically you may be disappointed and opt not to take a final photo.

If your adventurous, take prep pictures throughout.

If all else fails, and have not done any of these things ~ Try the zoom method. Get a small amount on a fork or spoon. Set on a white plate for background and use good lighting. Windows are great or go on the patio. Then Blur the background slightly.

If its a sandwich or dessert, than capture the inside and focus on the textures, not just the item as a whole.

One last thing, before u delete, Check your photos. You may have taken a photo, but only one corner of the dish looks Amazing.
Crop it! Many times, those are the best.

What things do you miss in the winter months? Providing you live in the Deep North or anywhere that is inhospitable to life.

Besides the Sun and the Warmth she brings, I miss Farm Fresh Produce.

Everything just tastes and even smells so much better.
You can't tell from this photo, but this head of broccoli...was actually Ginormous! I know technically, thats not a proper word; but it was one of the largest I've ever seen.

The color was so bright and vibrant and I remember after saving some aside for salad and Brocoli and cheese soup, I filled many bags of chopped up pieces for the freezer ; wondering how I'd ever get thru all of that. Somehow I did.

Did you know that broccoli is packed with:

Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Folate (B9)
Vitamin A
Vitamin B5,B6
Vitamin E

Fiber
Potassium
Calcium and Iron

Next time you feel like passing on the broccoli
Maybe you should have a change of heart.
( which consequently its good for)

And your Immune System, Skin,Bone Health and even helps Fight Cancer!

Your in love now aren't you? ❤️🥦

Cuban Chicken Soup

Growing up in Miami, one of the most comforting things you could eat while sick...was a nice big bowl of Sopa de Pollo.

If family or friend couldn't make it for you. Fear not, there was most likely a Cuban restaurant within a 5 mile radios if not closer, that you could run and pick some up or have delivered.

Depending on a families tradition a few ingredient may differ but not by much.

The base spices almost always stay the same.
Garlic, Cumin, Oregano,Paprika, Bay Leaves and
Ofcourse Chicken Stock

Sometimes Lime and Cilantro

The Pasta is usually Vermicelli or Angel Hair

As far as all of the main ingredients, think of regular homemade chicken soup but add some wonderful addition like small cut up corn on the cob, pumpkin, malanga, potato.

The day I made this, I was sick and I was so excited to eat it. Not having all the extra ingredients I went with what I had. Replaced the Corn on the Cob with Canned Corn. ( I know) Melanga with Potato and Pumpkin with Sweet Potato.

It was still so delicious.

Never under underestimate the power of Tradition, and it doesnt have to be yours.

What is your favorite way to make brownies?

I have to admit, when the kids said to add cookie dough and bake them together, I was like...hmmm" you guys can have all of those" thinking..Way too sweet!

Well I'm here to tell you ... sticking to your "classic" guns isnt always the way.

I have been won over. More like DEFEATED. I was wrong.

Just take them out when they are slightly underdone.

Do I still prefer the O.G.? That depends how many pieces im planning on eating. 🤭

There is something about undefiled chocolate. Like having a plain chocolate bar with no nuts thrown in. ( just my preference, don't come at me)

I used one box of brownie mix and homemade cookie dough. You can use store bought. This is a no judging your neighbor zone. You do you.

****HOW DO YOU GET THE SHINY CRUST ON TOP****

DON'T over mix.

Use a wisk or a fork and stir by hand. If you count
50 plus full stirs. Its perfect.

It works for me everytime.

Double your brownie batter if you want thick brownies or use 8x8 or 9×9 pan instead of large 9x13
*cooking time will be longer.

This plate:

* Lettuce, Cilantro, Garlic,Guacamole, SourCream,Rice,Chicken,Black Beans,Peppers, Onions.
