Herbed Bread Sticks

Despite what you might think, nothing is more difficult to me than shooting in direct sunlight. So many exposure issues to pay attention to, so many harsh shadows, so much soft, yellow light to mess up your white balance. But I like a good challenge and believe I’ve used the soft and rustic light to my advantage. What did I make? Another party snack/appetizer, of course! Simple herbed bread sticks….

Spicy Scampi

I have this thing for seafood. It’s the perfect appetizer; so tasty, light and pretty. I honestly believe that 50% of how food tastes is determined by how its presented. Lucky for me; there’s absolutely nothing easier and more beautiful to serve than gorgeous pink shrimps. I decided that one of our Christmas days (we have 2 official days of Christmas here) will be reserved for seafood. It’ll be a nice break from all…
