Lorraine – Thank you, especially for commenting on the styling. That’s something I’ve been striving to improve and I love experimenting! In my mind, the best food shots always convey a story—a glimpse of a moment, a time, a place, a mood, a memory, a possibility, etc. If I can begin to capture that sense of place, being and emotion and people notice, then hopefully my talents are improving!

Val – Fortunately I was able to share these muffins and coffee with a few special people, and I was grateful to do so! (Sharing is the one thing that makes cooking and baking even more enjoyable, don’t you think? It’s so nice of you to touch on that!)

Noble Pig – A happy sampler…I love that!

RecipeGirl – Exactly. Nothing says, “Enjoy winter!” like a seasonal breakfast.

Lydia – Mini muffins rock—they’re such fun and I just adore their bite-sized appeal. Perhaps the ideal place to live would be somewhere where oranges and cranberries grow side by side in harmony. Walk out your door and get the best of both flavors! Ah, a girl can dream, can’t she?

Coffee Machines – Thank you! Hope you enjoy them!

Grace – No kidding. There’s definitely an art to cooking with what’s already on hand in your pantry and fridge. Embracing that art would mean fewer unplanned trips to the grocery!
