⁣I took these photos 4 years ago at a photograph ⁣I took these photos 4 years ago at a photography workshop in Brooklyn. I remember the teacher looking through the work on my blog, telling me in our one-on-one session, that I was over-editing. Over propping. Lacking emotion. Trying too hard to make everything perfect, too white, and bright. ⠀ ⠀ Wait, but wasn’t that what I saw all over Instagram, and Pinterest? Wasn’t that how things were supposed to look?⠀ ⠀ I left feeling very discouraged. And so far from calling myself a photographer. Who was I kidding? What was I even doing?⠀ ⠀ When I returned home, I didn’t take any photos for weeks. I let her words sit, even though they hurt. And I spent time bringing awareness to the things that drew me to a photo, whether that be food or otherwise. ⠀ ⠀ What I noticed was light, or lack there of. Shadows. Movement. Stillness. Emotion. ⠀ ⠀ It was over the next few months that I started to let go of my expectations, and assumptions of what my photos should look like. I didn’t need to be like everyone else. ⠀ ⠀ I needed to create art. Not just a photo.⠀ ⠀ And find my own style, if I was ever going to believe in myself. ⠀ ⠀ Find my own style with my hands that made and styled the food, ⠀ eyes that saw the light, ⠀ and heart that felt it.⠀ ⠀ Somewhere in between those moments and now, I found my style. ⠀ ⠀ These photos surfaced on an old hard drive today, untouched since the day I took them. And as I began to edit, I could see that this when that shift had begun, as unaware of it as I was at the time. There was light, and lack there of. Shadows. Movement. Stillness. Feeling.⠀ ⠀ You bet I still have days where I lack confidence in my work, as we all do. And you bet I still compare myself to others.⠀ ⠀ But really, I’m still grateful for the teacher that gave me the hard truth I needed, that continues to be part of the photographer I am today. ❤⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #lessonsinlife #womanentrepreneur ⠀ #photographers #findingit

So many of you asked for this “almost paleo banana muffins” recipe I made in my stories this weekend, so here it is for you to save and make. Somewhat cringing that I don’t have any styled pictures of them, but also kind of like 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️— they’re so good and deserve to be shared! Sorry not sorry, Instagram expectations. 😅⠀ ⠀ They keep in the refrigerator for 3 days, or you can freeze them.⠀ ⠀ Recipe:⠀ ⠀ 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour⠀ 1/4 cup oat flour⠀ 1/2 cup tapioca starch⠀ 1 teaspoon baking soda⠀ 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon⠀ 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt⠀ 1 1/4 cups mashed ripe banana ⠀ 2 large eggs, room temp⠀ 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon honey⠀ 1/4 cup grapeseed or olive oil⠀ 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract⠀ ⠀ •Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place muffin liners in a tin. ⠀ ⠀ •Whisk together flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together banana, eggs, honey, oil, and vanilla, until smooth.⠀ ⠀ •Add wet ingredients to dry, and gently mix with spatula, until no flour streaks remain. ⠀ ⠀ •Use a cookie scoop or spoon to add batter to each muffin liner, filling 3/4 full. This will get you the top that rises nice and pretty! Put one small banana slice on the top of each muffin, if desired. ⠀ ⠀ •Bake for muffins for 22-24 minutes, until a toothpick comes out not wet. It can have a few crumbs, just not wet batter. Let cool, and enjoy!⠀ ⠀ adapted from @downshiftology 👏🏻⠀ ⠀ #inmykitchen #glutenfreerecipe #bakersgonnabake #epicurious

💘 heart on 🔥 for these •l o v e• inspir 💘 heart on 🔥 for these •l o v e• inspired gluten-free vanilla cupcakes. sharing the recipe on the blog today, extra light and fluffy with bold vanilla flavor. the pink ombré frosting is so fun! and I swear the 🌟🌟 starry decorating technique should be called “how to decorate cupcakes like a professional baker when you’re not one”. Because I am not, and all I did was grab a 1M star tip and do a quick search on YouTube for a tutorial. You’ve got this. 👊🏻 • • Full recipe and more details on the decorating piece, is posted on Heartbeet Kitchen (lots of testing to get this one right!). Link is in my profile. • • #f52 #inmykitchen #glutenfreerecipes #valentinestreat
❤️🥰 shaped GF P A N C A K E S ! I used my ❤️🥰 shaped GF P A N C A K E S ! I used my favorite pancake recipe, that makes them super soft inside with a lofty rise, and heart shaped rings I found on amazon for less than $7. Plus fresh whipped cream and raspberries. Kind of perfect for celebrating with your boo, your BFF, or your gals this week! 💘 Link to the recipe is in my profile. • #inmykitchen #brunching #f52 #glutenfreerecipe
