Isa Does It: Lemon Blueberry Loaf

Everyone knows I love a good loaf. So I have of course made the lemon blueberry loaf from Isa Does It many times since testing last year. With a newly thrifted $4 mini loaf pan and an orange in the fridge that had seen its better days I decided to change the recipe up a wee bit and make blueberry orange mini loaf. Most delicious!
Isa will be at Powell's in Portland, Oregon Monday, November 18, at 7:30 pm for a Q & A and book signing. Don't miss out!

Awkward Food Photos: Noodles

Noodles! Such a tasty bowl you had for lunch. Chock full of noodley goodness with carrots and some broccoli and a delightful peanut sauce. But that doesn't translate in a photo of mostly drab beige ensconced in your plastic take out container as you sit at your construction site looking forward to going home to sew Feminism Now patches.

This photo needs help!

Photoshop some skinny letters on it to identify your food product! Use the word yum! Holy shit, now that looks tasty.

Awkward Food Photos: Pigs in a Blanket

I love me some food wrapped up in other food. So tasty. A classic example of this is the pig in a blanket. Now, this is a vegan blog so the only pigs in blankets are the ones sleeping at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary in the big barn. But take any old veggie dog and wrap it with some dough or crescent dough and you go from a boring meal to a fun event in which your tastebuds will be wowed.

But what's with that food porn photo from your bocce potluck? A pile of wrapped dogs in a limpid tupperware that doesn't showcase the fun of eating food wrapped in other food.

This photo needs help!™

Put it on a piece of wood! Nothing says fun like a rustic wooden board. And double wrap those dang dogs. Two in one. Make sure it's a bit blurry or your eyeballs will be burned out by the sheer fun it is emanating.
