I’ve decided that food photos have gotten kind of ridiculous. The amount of food blogs out there that stage their food to look picture perfect, and in a way that is completely unrealistic to how anyone would actually CONSUME the food, has gotten out of control. Now before anyone gets offended, I’m talking about stuff like this:

This is a screen grab from Vitamix’s Instagram account. They are fun to follow and I LOVE my Vitamix. But come ON. You and I both know this is going to make a freaking MESS. Maybe I’m just too practical.

The other day I saw a photo of a burger piled SO HIGH there would be NO possible way to eat it, besides disassembling it first. What’s the point? And yet I ask myself again, am I too practical? I just want to be able to enjoy my food for the taste, THEN function, and THEN visual appeal comes last. Phew! I feel better that I got that off my chest — thanks for listening!

My recipes won’t be staged beautifully or with a light box and professional camera; this is my hobby, and my goal with it is to simply express myself and hopefully share some fun, easy, whole food based recipes with you all!

So without further ado, below is a delicious and very easy recipe to make. It’s super sweet, but without any guilt!
