A new year & a new photo project because I refuse to stop using my camera regularly! I’m going to call this series- My Everyday Life.
It’s not a photo everyday; it’s a collection of pictures from the week.
What you will see: moments of time, food, prettie things, details of the world around me & a few self portraits too! It’s like 365 food but with less food and more living.
Let the fun begin!
This is what this week looked like:
On a walk with my boys.
This week the list is longer than normal. I had some serious catching up to do!
But wait! There’s more:
Check out the first Joy the Baker Podcast of 2012! I go over my Disney cruise, we talk about EAT DAYS and how to start off your 2012 right!
Need some motivation for your resolutions? Let me help! I rounded up some of my favorite inspiration prints on Etsy over on High Straightenence this week!
My favorites from my 365 Food Photo project!
I decided to pick two photos from each month that represent:
– a special moment in time
-a photo that got me really excited about photography
-a meal/snack that totally blew my mind
ENJOY!

I’ve spent the past 48 hours feeling like I’ve been rocking back and forth (spending 7 days on a cruise ship can do that to you!). Everything right now is a bit off kilter because in the past week, time zones were crossed, climates changed, calendar days were disregarded, and I did something I never thought was possible- I spent a whole week without using my cellphone (OMG!). Instead of tackling the laundry, emptying suitcases and sorting through the mail when we got home Monday, I immediately went grocery shopping to get provisions for the week. I figured the only way to feel like normal again at home was to get back to work in my kitchen and binge on kale.
When I was eating lifeless romaine salad with extremely unripe yet mushy tomatoes on the boat (not all the food was dreadful!), I daydreamed of crispy kale salads with toasted coconut. Spending a week without kale was absolute torture and when I was standing in my kitchen swaying from side to side chopping kale, I vowed never to let that many days go by without my leafy green security blanket.
The crispy crunchy kale & cabbage shreds tasted amazing with the roasted cashew pieces and hemp seeds. The apple added a nice sweetness too! What you have here is a gigantic plate of HEALTH! I think the slaw could have potentially erased all of those chocolate dipped mickey mouse ice cream bars I ate. Who am I kidding? What I actually need is some serious Mousercise. For reals.
I DID IT!! It’s OVER! 365 DAYS OF FOOD!!!
Here’s the last week:
365/365 Gin & ginger ale on the deck.
Friends!
I’m currently taking a little blog break and enjoying the holidays with my family. I hope you’re doing the same! Wishing you the happiest New Year!
More soon!

A long time ago I told my mom that I’d like to be a caterer and she immediately talked me out of it. I thought that my love for making food in assembly lines, piping things with pastry bags and my passion for all things filo dough & puff pastry would be enough. Then she reminded me of how I’d have to stand on my feet for 8+hours and then someone else told me how much packing up and moving was involved in the life of a caterer. Dang. Maybe I just want to be a catering company’s quality assurance tester? Yeah! I’d be really good at it.
This recipe has been on my radar forever. I had a Christmas party to attend and whipped up these beauties in absolutely NO time. They’re fun, colorful, bite sized and uber fancy. Don’t you just love the sight of little appetizers lined up on a tray? I sure do…
