Hi! Remember me?

It’s been awhile since my last edition of table talk (my sincerest apologies), but today I have some updates and great recipes for you! Grab some coffee or beverage of choice, this is a long episode.

In Real Life

I’m still at it with recipe development and photography, but my time is being more split now as I’ve shifted into more free lance work. A year ago, I decided to sharpen my photography skills and signed up for a very intense course- Pretty Focused.

After graduating, I’ve been hired to help out other fabulous bloggers with their photography needs.

Speaking of fabulous bloggers…

I spent last week with my mastermind group at a gorgeous farm house in Tennessee. We ate, we got stuff done, we laughed, and we cried. These are some of my very favorite people in the whole wide world. We have become such good friends even though we live all over the U.S.

For more incredible recipes, you’ve got to check out their sites! You won’t be disappointed!

Bensa Bacon Lover’s Society -Eliza specializes in BACON. If you love bacon, you need this in your life!
The Fresh Cooky -Kathleen cooks a lot like me, real foods, nothing processes. She also lives in CO and knows all about the high altitude baking.
Life Love and Good Food – There’s no better explanation! Not too fancy, just good food. Sheila lives in the south and satisfies every appetite.
Nourish and Nestle – Lynn does SO much more than food! She has excellent home tips and the greenest thumb you’ve ever met. She’s also my go-to for all things canning.
Soulfully Made – Nikki also lives in the south and she makes delicious, home-cooked, easy recipes. Comfort food at it’s finest!

My last personal note is my first-born is graduating. Talk about an emotional bittersweet time! I can barely talk about it without tearing up… I’m at it full force planning the celebration.
