Who knew Homework Could Taste So Good?

I promoted myself to Chef/Food Stylist on Brandon lastest school project. Not that the title perfectly describes my short attempts at recipes and sometimes terrible plating and presentations. He created a website for class (quite a large undertaking for one assignment!-there's so much involved!) and is required to take all his own photos. He selected healthy foods as the subject since food is fairly easy to come by to snap a quick pic.

Glad I could at least help with a little cooking since he's got so much on his plate-besides all this food we cooked! I had three days to make 12 meals! We made it and enjoyed eating the finished product. All the recipes came from my favorite cookbook since the nutritional information was already included with the recipes & I wouldn't have to calculate it; The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger. Brandon gave this cookbook to me for Christmas-i love it. Every recipe so far has become a favorite.

You have to visit his website! It turned out so great and I love the clean, open look of it. He did great with all the pictures and layouts- He always does such a great job and I'm always impressed with his work!
