if you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you may have noticed that i haven’t shared a new recipe post in a while {outside of some great recipe round-ups}! that’s because shooting recipes stresses me out.

the recipes i actually make on a weekly basis are so simple that i don’t even really think of them as ‘recipes’! and food photography is not my strong-suit. workouts are my thing.
