Another delicious EatSavvy shoot! This month the focus was on fish.
We made some yummy Fish Tacos, the salsa really makes this dish:
Fish Quesadillas was the toddler dish:
Grilled Tilapia with Lemon-Almond Pesto was the dinner party dish:
And Fish Chowder rounded out the meals as the make-ahead dish:
As always, I look forward to the next EatSavvy shoot and what I’ll be photographing and then eating!
Another delicious EatSavvy shoot, with a bit of a (very pleasant!) surprise for me!
I have always wanted to like grapefruit, as I have always heard/read how nutritious it is for you. But I have always found it to be too bitter, and with an over powering taste (especially in a fruit salad). So I was very pleasantly surprised to find how much I enjoyed it in this month’s Red Grapefruit and Avocado Salad, I even went out grocery shopping the next day so I could prepare it at home for myself!
It turns out that the part I don’t like is the pith (membrane) part of the grapefruit. That is the part that is especially bitter/sour. The red grapefuit flesh itself is not bitter at all! So the trick is to cut away the flesh of the grapefruit from the bitter/sour pith, as shown in the following two images:
At the end of the shoot we all enjoyed the Dinner Party main course, Roasted Tomato and Sausage Linguini, it was delicious!
The sausage in the frying pan:
Our ingredient shot this month:
The Family Meal this month was Baked Cheesy Pasta with Sausage:
You may remember this cute little guy from my first EatSavvy shoot way back in July, he sure has grown!
What a cutie! And such a good eater too!
Dessert this month was Tropical Fruit Parfait, yum!
As always I’m looking forward to the yummy food at next month’s shoot already! 🙂
Today I am showcasing my friend Deborah’s beautiful jewelry. She had an in-home show this week, and I popped over before to photograph her product. All shots were taken with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, a macro lens helps tremendously with shots such as these.
She sold quite a bit, but she also has some pieces still available. She does custom work, and if you see something here that has sold she can re-create it for you. Please contact her directly by clicking here.
On to the beautiful creations now!
Close-up of a beautiful funky (and perfect for dressy too!) necklace:
Love the silver pieces on this bracelet:
This necklace would be a wonderful gift for girlfriend, wife or daughter!
Love, love, love the clasp on this necklace! Isn’t it gorgeous?
Love this necklace too! Beautiful colours!
Have a woman in your life that loves green tones? This is a beautiful piece!
Please contact Deborah if you still have some holiday shopping to do! Or for any special occasion!
Yet another yummy EatSavvy shoot! This month’s menu is based around roasted chicken, and yummy recipes made with the leftovers such as Chicken and Rice Soup (perfect for this cold weather!), delicious Baked Pasta with Chicken and Ricotta for toddlers, and Chicken in Phyllo Cups for a dinner party.
This month I will also include some out-takes I shot to give a behind the scenes view of the shoot. Enjoy!

Some shots from this month’s EatSavvy shoot. EatSavvy will be published once a month, see this post to learn more.
A very yummy shoot this month! Certainly a menu I plan to recreate now that the cooler weather is upon us….
Delicious sweet potato wedges, see the recipe here:
The pulled pork was amazing, my kids loved the leftovers as well!
And a fabulous idea for the leftovers!
Part of the dinner party menu, the couscous-stuffed acorn squash was a great idea, and also very yummy!
None of us at the shoot had room (after our delicious lunch!) to try the Spooky Spider Brownies, but (again!) my kids loved them! A great spooky treat for this time of year!
Looking forward to whatever is on the menu for next month!
