Behind the Scenes: My Food Photography Setup

Here's a peek into my very makeshift, continually evolving food photography setup.  I took some time this weekend to organize some of the props I use most often, and they're now stashed right underneath the trusty wooden board that serves as a backdrop for almost all my photographs.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, here is a "before" picture I shared this fall on Instagram.  I used to take all my pictures outside on the balcony, but when it got cold, I moved my piece of wood inside and propped it up next to my kitchen window on top of the large cardboard box our trash can came in.  Needless to say, it was not extremely sturdy.  I had to put all the heavy things right in the middle to avoid having the whole thing fall over.

7 Paleo Blogs I Love (Whole30 Day 7)

I love catching up with these blogs on Feedly every morning!

I had a busy day today lesson planning for next week, finally getting around to doing a workout, and cooking an elaborate dinner with my mom (we had these pork chops with roasted cabbage and zucchini, and I made some chicken stock and a batch of ghee for her, too!).  Since I don't have a new recipe to share today, I wanted to tell you about these seven paleo blogs that I absolutely love.  If you've been eating paleo for a while, you probably already know most of them, but if you're new, these are a must to visit often or add to your feedly.  (Do you have a feedly?  I obsessively check mine first thing in the morning and several times throughout the day.  Can't miss a thing from the 45 blogs I follow!)  Even if you don't eat paleo all the time, each of these sites is a one-stop shop for all kinds of delicious & healthy recipes that any person will appreciate.
