Food Matters (video)

I hope you all take an hour to check out the documenatary FOOD MATTERS. Check out the preview below.

The film is available on Netflix and for DVD purchase online. Great information about how to prevent, arrest and/or reverse chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, depression, etc.

And you think YOU’RE sick of the grocery store?! :)

I never could’ve imagined that my life’s work would involve trapsing around grocery stores with a clipboard for hours on end. Heck, I was at the store so long yesterday that I actually forgot where I parked! And I do it all for YOU guys  😉

I’m in the process of generating a “grocery guide” to accompany my  cookbook. It will thoroughly explain which additives to avoid with each ingredient that you purchase and give suggestions for particular brands and stores that carry additive-free versions.

From the looks I get, it appears that staff members sometimes think I’m some sort of “incognito” inspector or something as I read ingredient labels and take my notes…lol. Well, it’s one way to get superb customer service wherever I go 😉

And I can’t even tell you how many customers assume that I work there and ask me where items are located, etc. (Believe me, when they ask where the PopTarts are, it’s tempting to pretend I’ve never even heard of those. lol)

The “not-so-glamorous” side of food photography

The lighting in my kitchen is not too great for taking photos…it’s a bit shadowy on my countertops.

So here’s s little “behind-the-scenes” secret….often I put the food on the kitchen floor (or the bathroom counter, etc.) to get a better shot.

Chad gets a bit of a “kick” out of this, so he decided to spy on me with his video camera during one of my recent “photo shoots” (during which I was capturing the  pic to the right for another blog post).

Things just aren’t always as glamorous as they seem. LOL! So if you’re under the impression that I have studio lights, tripods and mounted cameras in my kitchen, you may want to check out the video below….I was taking a pic of this plate on the floor with my phone 🙂  (Please pardon Chad’s “chomping” noises. As is typical in our household, he was chowing down on his dinner while I was spending 5 minutes taking pictures of mine while it gets cold. LOL!)
