MoFo #6: Vegetable Murders
A couple more vegetable murders (though these are technically all fruit).
Vegan MoFo #5: Milwaukee Monday
Welcome to the second installment of Milwaukee Monday, featuring Milwaukee-inspired food for Vegan MoFo. Today’s recipe is salted coffee stout caramels made with another Lakefront Brewery beer, Fuel Cafe stout. This stout is brewed with coffee and was made especially for Fuel, a cafe in the Riverwest neighborhood with lots of vegan options like the …
MoFo #4: Small kitchen tips and crafts
My kitchen isn’t as abysmally small as I complain. It’s perfectly adequate size for someone who lives in a studio apartment and cooks every once in a while. But of course, that’s not me! Cooking and baking supplies, appliances, dishware, glasses, produce, decor, aprons, and more are spilling out of every nook and cranny of …
Vegan MoFo #3: Cookie dough metamorphosis
I’ve been photographing food pretty much constantly for the past few months. Part of that process is redoing some photos I’m not too pleased with. Of course, I don’t want to recreate EVERYTHING I need to photograph, so that’s where magical chocolate cookie dough can shapeshift into cookies, biscotti, brownies, and pie crust. I began …
Vegan MoFo #2: Vegetable Murders
For day two of MoFo, I’d like to share a couple images from a series I’m working on for school.

I’m going to be working with this for …

Flavors of summer
I just took a bike ride in a hoodie, the AC has been off for two days, and the leaves are starting to look crunchy (and not just the ones on the plants in my windowsill that I can’t keep alive for the life of me). School has been busy for the past few weeks …
Simply Straws for Vegan Cuts
Vegan Cuts is starting a brand new vegan blogger review program and the newest addition to their team, my friend Melisser Elliott, asked me to be a part of it. Vegan Cuts offers weekly deals on new vegan products and gives members the opportunity to earn rewards and discounts. Since they are a completely vegan …
Grandma’s birthday cake
A few weeks ago my grandma celebrated her 75th birthday. Determined to find inspiration for a cake, I took a seat next to a giant box of old photos, rifling through hundreds of envelopes. I settled on one of her and I somewhere around 1993, complete with a “Happy New Year!” headband (which would be …
